First report, New record, South India, Tribe halyiniAbstract
With an unidentified species of Pentatomidae family from Madurai district, Tamilnadu, India. This is the first report of Superfamily Pentatomoidea (Heteroptera). The Pentatomidae causes many difficulties for systematists, not least of which is that the higher taxonomy is a “morass of poorly defined higher taxa, particularly the tribes”. In this species, a new distribution is recorded in this area.
