在马来西亚的树干上发现了两种以韧皮部为食的扁甲虫和蚂蚁 Meranoplus mucronatus 之间的营养关系。在 coreid bug 和 Crematogaster sp 之间也发现了类似的关系。和Anoplolepis longipes，在同一地区的竹子上。蚂蚁会聚集成群，以幼虫富含糖分的液体粪便为食，通过触觉信号刺激蜜露的释放。它们通过叮咬和使用防御性分泌物来保护所有阶段的虫子免受干扰。 Plataspidae 和 Coreidae 科中以韧皮部为食的虫子需要长管心针来刺穿寄主树厚厚的树皮。描述了在这两个系列中容纳静止管心针的不同方法。 plataspids被描述为Tropidotylus servus sp。十一月和T.部长sp。十一月先前报道的与马来亚 M. mucronatus 相关的一种 coreid 被描述为 Hygia cliens sp。十一月竹子上的小核被确定为 Cloresmus spp。和N...
A trophobiotic relationship between two species of phloem-feeding plataspid bugs and an ant, Meranoplus mucronatus, was discovered on tree trunks in Malaysia. Similar relationships were found between coreid bugs and Crematogaster sp. and Anoplolepis longipes, on bamboo in the same area. The ants recruit to groups of the bugs and feed on the liquid, sugar-rich faeces of the larvae, stimulating release of the honeydew by tactile signals. They protect all stages of the bugs from disturbance by biting and by the use of defensive scretions. Phloem-feeding bugs in the families Plataspidae and Coreidae need long stylets to pierce the thick bark of their host tree. The different methods of accommodating the resting stylets in these two families are described. The plataspids are described as Tropidotylus servus sp. nov. and T. minister sp. nov. A coreid previously reported in association with M. mucronatus in Malaya is described as Hygia cliens sp. nov. The coreids on bamboo were determined as Cloresmus spp. and N...
