Three species of Riptortus are included. All are serious pests of legumes in Asia and Africa, where they feed on the seeds of crop plants, such as soybean, common bean, and cow pea ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) ( Panizzi et al. 2000). These bugs primarily are pests of legumes, but feeding on various seeds in other plant families has been reported.
