Agriosphodrus
Agriosphodrus is a genus with a sole species, A. dohrni, the Japanese assassin bug. It is a species of insect in the family Reduviidae, found in China, Southeast Asia, India and Japan. It lives in trunks of various trees near human habitation, like parks and roadsides, mostly found on poplar, willow and tree of heavens. Despite its common name, the species is not native to Japan, where it was first recorded in 1930 and is considered invasive.
