This study looked at a group of stink bugs, not plants, and sorted out that what scientists thought was one insect species is actually three separate species based on subtle color and shape differences.
1
Edessa rufomarginata was found to include morphological variants previously mistaken for a single variable species
2
Two previously synonymized species, Edessa albomarginata and Edessa marginalis, were revalidated as distinct species
3
The revision is based on detailed comparison of external morphology within the Edessinae subfamily of stink bugs
