A contribution towards the insect fauna of Vadodara, Gujarat (India): The Order Hemiptera

2010

Present study was undertaken to assess the diversity of the Order Hemiptera as well as its extent of changes in species composition from one habitat to another. Both agricultural fields and urban ecosystems were studied as there are 62 gardens and agricultural fields all around Vadodara. The results show that this city sustains a good diversity of 58 species, 51 genera and 22 families of hemipterans. Agricultural fields and urban areas had higher abundance and diversity of the families viz, Pentatomidae, Coriedae, Reduviidae and Aphididae, whereas families Lophopidae, Cicadidae, Dinidoridae and Acanthosomatidae were less in number. Turnover diversity along habitats was found to be same.
