Hemiptera Arma chinensis Pentatomidae taxonomy bionomics

Abstract

The male genitalia and other important morphological characters of Arma chinensis are redescribed and illustrated. Some bio-logical characters of this stink bug, such as the predatory behavior, mating, oviposition, hatching, molting, emergence, colonization, and cannibalism are noted.
