Sub-family PENTATOMIN^E. 



In this series the scutel tends to become smaller and the wings are 

 better marked. The insects are, as a rule, flatter above and not so firm 

 in texture as some of the preceding groups. The beak is long, four- 

 jointed, and many of the species are economically important. The typical 

 "buggy" odor is well developed in most of them.
