Study results on species compsition of bugs (Heteroptera) in Phong Nha - Ke Bang national park, Quang Binh province

A comprehensive survey of bug species (Heteroptera) in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Vietnam, identified 71 species across 53 genera and 10 families. Notably, the study revealed 23 previously undocumented species for Vietnam's entomofauna, including Lethocerus indicus, a threatened species requiring urgent conservation measures. Coreidae (29.5%) and Reduviidae (25.3%) were the most diverse families, while Belostomatidae and others contributed significantly to the park's biodiversity. Conducted between 2006 and 2008, this research expands Vietnam's Heteroptera catalog by 17% at the genus level and highlights critical conservation priorities for UNESCO-listed sites.
