Piezodorus guildinii isolate:OP-2021 Genome sequencing and assembly

Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood 1837), the red-banded stink bug (RBSB), is a Neotropical stink bug. It was first described in the St. Vincent island of the Caribbean. It is a persistent pest of soybeans in South American countries like Brazil. RBSB was first reported in the United States in 1970 and its current geographical distribution ranges from Uruguay and northern Argentina to the regions of the southeastern USA along the Gulf of Mexico (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas), as well as Arkansas, Georgia, and South Carolina. In southern United States, RBSB outbreaks may cause extensive damage to soybean.

Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood, 1837)，又称红带臭蝽（RBSB），是新热带地区的臭蝽类昆虫。其首次被描述于加勒比海的圣文森特岛。该物种在南美洲国家如巴西等地，是大豆作物的一种持久性害虫。RBSB首次在美国被报道是在1970年，其当前的地理分布范围从乌拉圭和阿根廷北部延伸至墨西哥湾沿岸的美国东南部地区（阿拉巴马、佛罗里达、路易斯安那、密西西比、德克萨斯），以及阿肯色州、乔治亚州和南卡罗来纳州。在美国南部，RBSB的爆发可能导致大豆作物遭受严重损害。
