Development of eggs of 35 species of Nearctic and Palearctic Pentatomoidea are described. Eggs are discussed in relation to the number of ovarioles of each species, characteristics of eggs, incubation time, diapause, embryonic development, embryonic orientation, hatch, and parasitism, and are classified into two groups in relation to then-form, position of egg-burster, and hatch. Emergence of first-instar larvae is described in representatives of five families.
