Eurygaster testudinaria (Geoffroy, 1785)
|
Eurygaster testudinaria is a Palearctic shieldbug. It occurs in Europe from the Northern Mediterranean to southern Scandinavia, and East through Central Asia to northern China and Japan .
This species is very difficult to differentiate from Eurygaster maura but testudinaria has a slight central depression at the front of the head. Its colour similarly varies.
Eurygaster testudinaria feeds on Poaceae (grasses).
