Pentatomoid Species Known to

Exhibit Parental Care

I have only just begun to compile a list of pentatomoid specimens that are known to exhibit parental care of the eggs or early instars. So, for awhile, this list will be very incomplete. I will be adding new records as I run across them.

Elasmucha lateralis (Frost & Haber, 1944, as Meadorus lateralis)
