Species delimitation is very important for the study of taxonomy and is essential for pest control and management. Our study focussed on the species delimitation of five Leptocorisa species (Insecta: Hemiptera: Alydidae: Leptocorisa) from China, especially for the rice seed bugs (Leptocorisa acuta s...
