Pseudatelus
Pseudatelus is a genus of shield bugs of the family Pentatomidae. Currently placed in the tribe Halyini,[1] McPherson's overview of the Pentatomoidea suggested it may be better placed into the Memmiini.[2] DescriptionPseudatelus bugs range from 14 to 20 millimetres (0.55 to 0.79 in) depending on the species. The bugs have a typical shield shape body. They are usually from brown to dark brown in colour, with triangular-shaped scutellum. On female Pseudatelus bugs, the abdominal venter is almost entirely covered by a large, hair-covered opaque area. The long hairs on these areas may accumulate a waxy secretion.[2] Species The genus contains the following species:
