Berytinus signoreti is a bug from the family of stilt bugs (Berytidae).
features
The bugs are 4.3 to 5.6 millimeters long. Characteristic of representatives of the genus Berytinus , they have a short second antennae link that is shorter than the club on the first link. They also have short thighs ( femora ) on the hind legs that do not reach the tip of the corium of the hemielytrae . In Berytinus signoreti the club of the first antenna segment is brown and much paler than the fourth segment. There is usually a small dark spot at the base of all wing veins of the membranes of the hemielytres.
distribution and habitat
The species is widespread in southern northern Europe and in western and central Europe and is only found sporadically in the Mediterranean region. In the east their distribution extends to the Black Sea region and Asia Minor. It is widespread in Central Europe, but rare everywhere. They can be found in the Alps from the valleys up to around 2000 meters above sea level. It is widespread in Great Britain, but less common in the North. In the lowlands, predominantly sunny areas are settled, in the hilly and mountainous areas mainly limestone grasslands.
Way of life
The animals live on legumes (Fabaceae), such as common horn clover ( Lotus corniculatus ), horseshoe clover ( Hippocrepis ), grouse ( Ononis ) and snail clover ( Medicago ). Hibernation takes place frequently in dry leaf litter under ericaceous (Ericaceae) as heather ( Calluna ) and heather ( Erica ). The development takes place in the same way as Berytinus montivagus , with mating in May, oviposition in May and June and the adult animals of the new generation from July or August. One generation is trained every year.
