The Lygaeoidea Species File database contains taxonomic and other information about all the seed bugs of the world, both living and fossil.
Note: This online catalog is under continual development as more specimen data and other information are added.
|
The Lygaeoidea Species File is based on the world catalogues of Slater (1964) and
Slater & O´Donnell (1995) and the Catalog of the Berytidae of the World of Henry
& Froeschner (1998):
|
- Slater, J. A. 1964. A Catalogue of the Lygaeidae of the World. Vol. I & II. University
of Connecticut, Storrs.
- Slater, J. A. & J. E. O’Donnell. 1995. A Catalogue of the Lygaeidae of the World
(1960-1994). New York Entomological Society, New York.
- Henry, T. J. & R. C. Froeschner. 1998. Catalog of the Stilt bugs, or Berytidae,
of the World (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera). Contributions of the American Entomological
Institute 30(4): 1-72.

The first two catalogues were digitalized through a GBIF award received by Randall
Schuh (AMNH) in 2003.
