George, P J EJournal of Biological ControlGeorge PJE. 1999. Biology and life table of Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.) (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) on three lepidopteran insect pests. J Biol Control 13:33 - 38.
Rhynocoris marginatus (Fabr.) is a polymorphic reduviid predator inhabitating tropical rainforests, semi-arid zones, scrub jungles and agro-ecosystems and predates upon insect pests. It exists in three different morphs; (1) with black connexivum (niger); (2) with red connexivum (sanguineous);...
Similarly, the field release of some reduviid predators such as Pristhesancus plagipennis Walker17,39, Platymeris laevicollis Distant40 and Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.)19,20 were successful in reducing various pests in coconut palm, cotton and groundnut fields. Our results showed that R. longi...
The predation potential of a generalist predator Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) against three important mealybug pests of cotton, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, Maconellicoccus hirsutus Green, and Coccidohystrix insolita Green (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) was evaluated under ...

R. marginatus has a three-segmented curved rostrum; the middle segment is longer than the other two segments. The terminal rostral segment bears spines and trichobothria externally. Stylet bundles bear two pairs of maxillary and mandible stylets in the curved rostrum with serrations. The stylets ...
Rhynocoris marginatusSpodoptera lituraRhynocoris marginatus (F.) (Reduviidae: Hemiptera:) is an efficient biocontrol agent in the management of multiple insect pests. The study aimed to assess the life table and demographic parameters of R. marginatus feeding on two lepidopterous insect pests, ...
life stagesSDS-PAGEThe reduviid predator, Rhynocoris marginatus (Fabrieius) is an important biocontrol agent against several field crop pests in India. The present study was conducted to understand the protein profile of fat body in different life stages of R. marginatus. Comparison of electrophero...
The assassin bug, Rhynocoris marginatus is a generalist predator and can be deployed across agro ecosystems. In a study to assess its interactions with three polyphagous lepidopteran pests, the predator showed significantly higher preference to Spodoptera litura (F.) (50%) over Mythimna separata (...
Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.) is one of the most predominant biological control agents in India, which feeds on wide range of economically important pestiferous insects. The nutritional fitness of the reduviid predator was assessed with five orthoperan crop pests such as (Diabolocatantops pinguis (...
