Análise cladística e revisão do subgênero nominal de Edessa (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Edessinae)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-01-23) SILVA, Valéria Juliete da; FERNANDES, José Antônio Marin; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6743352818723245
Pentatomidae is the fourth numerous and diverse family of Heteroptera. From Pentatomidae, Edessinae has more than 300 described species. Edessinae is a Neotropical subfamily with nine genera: Edessa Fabricius, 1803, Brachystethus Laporte, 1832, Ascra Say, 1832, Peromatus Amyot & Serville, 1843, Olbia Stål, 1862, Pantochlora Stål, 1870, Doesburgedessa Fernandes, 2010, Paraedessa Silva & Fernandes, 2013 and Grammedessa Correia & Fernandes, 2016, genera with well-defined diagnoses except Edessa which is considered a deposit of species to the subfamily. Edessa has the greatest taxonomical and nomenclatural problems of Edessinae, because it historically has a great confusion with the limits of the genus and subfamily. To solve the problem was proposed the review of Edessa from groups of species and subgenera. Edessa is composed by five subgenera: Aceratodes Amyot & Serville, 1843, Dorypleura Amyot & Serville, 1843, Pygoda Amyot & Serville, 1843, Hypoxys Amyot & Serville, 1843and the nominal subgenus. Among subgenera only the nominal was not reviewed. As Edessa (Edessa) is an “empty taxa”, composed only by the type specie, it were used the characters of the groups of species by Stål (1872) as start point to the delimitation of this subgenus. During the bibliography research was found a mistake in the typification of Edessa, so here the type specie was changed from E. cervus (Fabricius, 1787) to E. antilope (Fabricius, 1798). To recognize and limit Edessa and to create relationship hypothesis among the species was realized a cladistics analysis. It were included the species considered by Stål (loc. cit.) as part of the Edessa group of species, as well as species that possess the characters mentioned by Stål as diagnosis to this group. The data matrix is composed for 111 morphological characters and 85 taxa, 13 of outgroup and 72 of ingroup. For the analysis were realized two weighting schemes: equal and implicit weight of characters with K varying from 3–12, and two types of search: traditional and new technologies. The cladogram with K=8 and traditional search have 763 steps, IC: 19 and IR: 60. Based on this cladogram the subgenus Edessa is composed by 10 species known for the science: E. antilope, E. cervus, E. taurina Stål, 1862, E. ibex Breddin, 1903, E. arabs (Linnaues, 1758), E. cylindricornis Stål, 1872, E. rondoniensis Fernandes & van Doesburg, 2000, E. burmeisteri Fernandes & van Doesburg, 2000, E. cerastes Breddin, 1905 and E. elaphus Breddin, 1905, and six new morphotypes: E. sp. nov. “near flavinernis”, E. sp. nov. “close flavinernis”, E. sp. nov. “near 112”, E. sp. nov. “close 112”, E. sp. nov. “40” and E. sp. nov. “131”. The subgenus Edessa is diagnosed by the mainly green color on dorsal surface; humeral angles at least twice longer than large, black apex of humeral angle posteriorly curved, whole or bifid; embolium contrasting in color to the corium; corium with at least one yellow vein; dorsal rim of pygophore narrow and continuous with the base of posterolateral angles. Also the cladistics analysis suggests the monophyly of Edessinae and polyphyly of Edessa in its current composition. Changes in taxonomical status to genera of Aceratodes, Dorypleura, Pygoda and Hypoxys are corroborated. Peromatus appears with an internal branch in the analysis; it reinforces the necessity to review the genus. Also were recognized and described 13 new group of species to Edessa. Were redescribed species known to the science and described new species to the genus. Nomenclatural problems have been identified, with 11 synonyms proposed and a revalidation of taxon previously in synonymy; lectotypes were designated and a key of identification of species is given.

(2006-09) SILVA, Eduardo José Ely e; FERNANDES, José Antônio Marin; GRAZIA, Jocélia
The Edessa group rufomarginata is proposed to include E. rufomarginata (De Geer, 1773), E. marginalis (Dallas, 1851), E. albomarginata (Stål, 1855), E. abdominalis Erichson, 1848, E. corallipes Erichson, 1848, E. aulacosterna Stål, 1872, E. ovalis Stål, 1872, and E. nigropunctata Berg, 1884. Seven new species are described in this group, six from Brazil and one from Argentina: E. brasiliensis sp. nov., E. castaneolineata sp. nov., E. cerradensis sp. nov., E. chapadensis sp. nov., E. luteovenulata sp. nov., E. rufodorsata sp. nov. (Argentina) and E. virididorsata sp. nov. These species are known from Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.

Descrição de um gênero novo e três espécies novas de Edessinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-12-07) ALMEIDA, Flávio Roberto de Albuquerque; FERNANDES, José Antônio Marin; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6743352818723245
The family Pentatomidae is the fourth most diverse among Heteroptera, comprising about 4.700 species divided in, approximately, 800 genera. The family is a monophyletic taxa characterized by the loss of gonapophyses 8, gonapophyses 9 reduced and fused to gonocoxites 9, gonangulum absent and the ductus receptaculi dilated and invaginated, forming three distinct walls. The subfamily Edessinae is the second most diverse, comprising about 320 species divided in nine genera: Edessa Fabricius, 1803 (about 300 species), Ascra Say, 1832 (14 species), Brachystethus Laporte, 1832 (10 species), Peromatus Amyot & Serville, 1843 (seven species), Olbia Stål, 1862 (three species), Pantochlora Stål, 1870 (one species), Doesburgedessa Fernandes, 2010 (five species), Paraedessa Silva & Fernandes, 2013 (nine species) and Grammedessa Correia & Fernandes, 2016 (12 species). The genus Edessa has many taxonomic and nomenclatural problems related to the lack of a reliable diagnosis. In this way, species which have general characteristics of the subfamily and did not fit in the diagnostic features of other genera of Edessinae are considered to belonging to Edessa. This practice made the genus a "deposit" of species with indefinite limits. The proposal for the genus is to revise Edessa in groups of species sharing morphological distinctive characters (possible synapomorphies). One of these enigmatic groups of Edessa is formed by Edessa celsa Distant, 1890 and three allied new species. Here we describe a new genus for these four species sharing a unique set of characteristics and compare with Hypoxys, subgenus of Edessa with similar facies. Diagnosis, illustrations of the metasternal process and external and internal genitalia, photographs of the dorsal and ventral view, and a distributional map are provided. A key to the genera belonging to Edessinae and a key to the species of Plagaedessa are also provided. Male and female genitalia of Plagaedessa celsa n. comb. are described for the first time. Distribution of P. celsa is extended to Costa Rica and Mexico. The lectotype of Edessa celsa is here designated.

New evidences supporting trophobiosis between populations of Edessa rufomarginata (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and Camponotus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) ants
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-06) SILVA, Daniel Paiva; FERNANDES, José Antônio Marin
Despite its important effect on the maintenance of tritrophic interactions among plants, insect herbivores, and ants, there is still a paucity of natural history and basic biology information involving trophobiosis among Heteroptera stink bugs. Here, based on previous observations of a new trophobiotic interaction between Edessa rufomarginata (De Geer, 1773) and Camponotus rufipes (Fabricius, 1775) ants, we describe the chemical profile of the honeydew obtained by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry. There were mainly three different sugars (trehalose, glucose, and sorbose) within our samples. The extrafloral nectaries of Caryocar brasiliense Camb., the host plant of E. rufomarginata, attracts a wide assemblage of Cerrado ants with varying aggressiveness toward herbivores. Therefore, this facultative trophobiotic interaction may allow the survival of the stink bug while feeding on the risky, highly ant-visited plant. Given the rarity of trophobiotic interactions between Pentatomidae species and ants and considering a zoological perspective within this family, here we discuss the ecological and evolutionary routes that may allow the rise of these interactions.

Urhai gen. nov., um novo gênero para Edessinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-03) FERREIRA, Adiney Ferreira; FERNANDES, José Antônio Marin; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6743352818723245; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7450-5296
Edessinae is the second most diverse subfamily of Pentatomidae, with approximately 500 described species distributed in 17 genera. This taxon is considered monophyletic, supported by molecular evidence and morphological characteristics. Among the genera, Edessa stands out for harboring more than 300 species, but it faces taxonomic challenges, including problems of nomenclature and classification, and is often considered a "species repository". This work aims to describe a new genus with three species previously allocated to Edessa and five new species. For the study, 94 specimens from national and foreign institutions were analyzed. Urhai gen. nov. is easily recognized by the morphology of the body, mainly presenting the head with median punctuations forming two vertical stripes on the clypeus, antennal articles I–III with small dark circular spots, pronotum with developed humeral angle; flattened and punctuated dorsoventrally; distal margin laminar; posterior angle spiniform, posterior margin of the pronotum covering the anterior part of the scutellum, metasternal process flattened; anterior arms of the bifurcation reaching or nearly reaching the limit of the propleura; distal margin generally straight. Diagnoses, species identification key and distribution maps were presented. This study is of great importance in understanding the diversity of Edessinae.
