Hemiptera Heteroptera Anthocoridae

Abstract

The tribe Cardiastethini Carayon 1972 belongs in the family Anthocoridae (Heteroptera: Cimicomorpha). As with other anthocorid flower bugs, the members of the Cardiastethini prey on small arthropods. The predaceous habits of many anthocorids have attracted the attention of researchers who work in agro-ecosystems (e.g., biological control; Lattin 1999).
