Happy #TingidTuesday, I’ve been busy with job applications, manuscript reviews, and much-needed family time. Here is Dyspharsa uniseriata Cazorla & Knudson 2021 which was described from Trujillo and Merida states, Venezuela. 📷 from Cazorla & Knudson 2021. #Tingidae #Bugs The only congener, D. meyersi (Drake), was described from the Trinidad mountains in Cuba, not the island of Trinidad as listed by Drake and Ruhoff (1965). I can provide an English translation of the original description.

Stephanitis takeyai, die Andromeda-Netzwanze (#Tingidae) stammt ursprünglich aus Japan. Nach Deutschland eingeschleppt wurde diese skurrile Wanzenart in den 1990er Jahren. Sie lebt an Rhododendron und Lavendelheide und ist von daher vor allem in Gärten und Parkanlagen mit den entsprechenden Wirtspflanzen zu finden.

Since #TingidTuesday seems to be becoming a thing, here's one from the US Virgin Islands. No idea about ID but quite different from the Corythuchas I usually see in Philly. #Tingidae #Hemiptera

Happy #TingidTuesday. Here is Eurypharsa farouki Silva, which was collected from a type of ground-dwelling vine near Correntina, Bahia
#Brazil. Excited to share that I am revising this genus😄Specimen from the United States National Museum of Natural History. Smithsonian Institution
