Alydus scutellatus
Alydus scutellatus is a species of broad-headed bug in the family Alydidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1903. This small true bug belongs to a group commonly known for their seed-feeding habits, though members of the family have been documented engaging in extra-phytophagous feeding behaviors including carrion and dung consumption. The species has been recorded from western North American localities including British Columbia, Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico.
Euschistus inflatus
Euschistus inflatus is a Nearctic stink bug species in the family Pentatomidae. It was described by Van Duzee in 1903 and is found in North America. The species was examined in a 2022 taxonomic revision that formalized the ictericus group within Euschistus (Euschistus), where it was treated as similar and probably related to core group members but not formally included in the group. Host plants documented for this species include Rubus arizonensis, Verbascum thapsus, sugar beets, and green beans.
