Thyanta pallidovirens, the red-shouldered stink bug, is a species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is found in Central America and North America.[1][2][3]

Subspecies

These three subspecies belong to the species Thyanta pallidovirens:

  • Thyanta pallidovirens pallidovirens (Stål, 1859)
  • Thyanta pallidovirens setosa Ruckes, 1957
  • Thyanta pallidovirens spinosa Ruckes, 1957

Reproduction

Male T. pallidovirens use a pheromone consisting of methyl (E,Z,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoat and sesquiterpenes to attract females.[4] Both males and females also use vibrational signals (songs) to attract mates. Males and females can each produce two different songs.[5]
