About: Antestiopsis

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Antestiopsis is a genus of shield bug, commonly known as antestia and the variegated coffee bug. Several species in eastern Africa are pests of coffee plants, giving the coffee beans a distinctive 'potato taste', which is thought to be caused indirectly by bacteria entering through wounds created by the insects, leading to an increase in the concentration of isopropyl methoxy pyrazine. They feed on flowers, berries and growing tips, injecting a toxic saliva that often contains the spores of the Ashbya fungus, and then suck juices out.

  • Antestiopsis est un genre d'insectes hémiptères du sous-ordre des hétéroptères (punaises) de la famille des Pentatomidae. Plusieurs espèces de ce genre sont en Afrique orientale des ravageurs des caféiers. L'attaque de ces punaises donne aux grains de café un « goût de pomme de terre » particulier, qui serait provoqué indirectement par des bactéries pénétrant par les blessures causées par les insectes, et induisant une augmentation de la concentration d'. Ces punaises se nourrissent sur les fleurs, les baies et les jeunes pousses, injectant dans les tissus des plantes une salive toxique qui contient souvent des spores d'un champignon, , et suçant ensuite la sève.
