Abstract
Leptoglossus (Hemiptera: Coreidae) are a diverse genus of phytophagous insects. Literature regarding Leptoglossus has increased as species are identified as emerging agricultural pests or reported outside of their native range. Within Leptoglossus, five species dominate the literature and are known pests and vectors of plant pathogenic microbes in several major crops. Despite the increasing profile of Leptoglossus, current monitoring and management methods rely primarily on visual inspection, and semiochemical tools have yet to be developed. This Perspective identifies and discusses gaps in the Leptoglossus literature as well as areas of research needed for the development of effective tools for monitoring insect populations and enabling informed pest-management practices.
