Introduction
The Scutelleridae are a cosmopolitan family of pentatomoid bugs, comprising about 81 genera and over 450 species (Schuh & Slater 1995; Henry 2009). The family is most diverse in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The Australian fauna is relatively depauperate, the family being represented by only 13 genera and 28 species.
The group was first established at suprageneric level by Leach (1815). Fieber (1861) and Stål (1867) recognised it as a family. Dallas (1851) and Stål (1872, 1873) established suprageneric groups within the Scutelleridae. Schouteden (1904, 1906) monographed the family, essentially following the divisions of Stål. Kirkaldy (1909) maintained the group as a subfamily of the Pentatomidae, arranged within five tribes (Odontotarsini, Tetyrini, Scutellerini, Sphaerocorini and Elvisurini). Van Duzee (1917) restored the family status, an arrangement that has been followed by most subsequent authors (Pendergrast 1957; Kumar 1965; McDonald 1966; Gross 1975). Like most modern workers, Schuh & Slater (1995) retained the family status, with the following subfamilies: Eurygastrinae, Odontotarsinae, Pachycorinae and Scutellerinae. McDonald & Cassis (1984) erected a new subfamily the Tectocorinae and accepted the Elvisurinae as a valid subfamily. The intrafamilial classification of scutellerids is in need of revision. For the purposes of this Catalogue, we are accepting the following subfamilial classification (Australian taxa only): Elvisurinae, Odontotarsinae, Scutellerinae and Tectocorinae.
The Australian Scutelleridae fauna comprises 13 genera and 25 species, of which seven genera and 17 species are endemic (Cassis & Vanags 2006). Scutellerids are commonly found in Australia and most species are broadly distributed. The Elvisurinae are represented by five species, in the genera Austrotichus Gross (1 species), Coleotichus White (3 species) and Solenotichus Martin (1 species). The Odontotarsinae are represented by three species of the aberrant genus, Morbora Distant. The Pachycorinae are represented by a single widely distributed species Agonosoma trilineatum Laporte. The Scutellerinae are the most speciose subfamily in Australia and are represented by Calliphara Germar (6 species), Calliscysta Stål (1 species) Cantao Amyot & Serville (1 species), Choerocoris Dallas (4 species), Heissiphara Cassis & Vanags (1 species) Lampromicra Stål (3 species) and Scutiphora Laporte (1 species). The Tectocorinae are represented by Tectocoris diophthalmus (Thunberg).
McDonald & Cassis (1984) revised the Australian species, synonymising numerous available names of Coleotichus, Lampromicra and Choerocoris. The species Sphaerocoris subnotatus Walker has not been examined and is placed as incertae sedis in this Catalogue. Gross (1975) revised the South Australian species and provided superb habitus figures of the species. Lyal (1979) monographed the world fauna of Calliphara. McDonald (1988) reviewed the genus Cantao. Cassis & Vanags (2006) recently revised Australian scutellerids and described a new monotypic genus Heissiphara and two new species of Choerocoris .
Scutellerids are phytophagous and some species are serious pests of crops in the Palaearctic and Oriental Regions. Javahery et al. (2000) summarised the biology of scutellerids with reference to species of economic importance. The biology of some Australian species was described in detail by McDonald (1960, 1963).
McDonald (1960) reported on the biology of Choerocoris paganus (Fabricius), listing numerous host plants. This species is commonly collected on the native hop, Dodonaea viscosa (Linnaeus) (Sapindaceae), feeding on the ripe green seeds. One of us [GC] has also observed this species feeding on the cast seeds in the 'seed-shadow' of the plant.
McDonald (1963) described the immature stages of Lampromicra senator (Fabricius), Scutiphora pedicellata (Kirby), Cantao parentum (White), Choerocoris paganus and Tectocoris diophthalmus. Ballard & Holdaway (1926) described the biology of the latter species in great detail, reporting it as a significant pest of cotton in Queensland. Tectocoris diophthalmus has become established in gardens and parks in eastern coastal Australia on a range of ornamental malvaceous plants.
Diagnosis
Scutellerids are medium to large-sized bugs, which are ovoid to elongate-ovoid, and either dull or brightly coloured, often iridescent. The head is triangular and laterally keeled. The antennae are 3 to 5-segmented and the labium is 4-segmented. The pronotum is trapezoidal with the lateral margins divergent posteriorly. The scutellum is enlarged, covering all the abdomen and wings. The frena is greatly reduced or absent. The corium and clavus are membranous. The external efferent system of the metathoracic glands is well developed. Male abdominal sternal glands present occasionally. Tarsi are 3-segmented. Abdominal trichobothria are paired and placed caudal of the spiracles. The ovipositor is laciniate. The second valvifers are completely fused. The aedeagus usually has three pairs of conjunctival appendages. Larval dorsal abdominal glands occur between terga III/IV, IV/V and V/VI. (McDonald & Cassis 1984; Slater 1982; Schuh & Slater 1995)
