Overview
Aspongopus is the dried body of Aspongopus chinensis Dallas (Fam. Pentatomidae). It is collected from November to March of the following year, placed in a suitable container, suffocated with a small amount of alcohol, taken out and dried; or killed by scalding in boiling water, taken out and dried.
Description
The drug is slightly hexagonal and flat-elliptical, measuring 1.6-2 cm long and about 1 cm wide. The surface is brownish-brown or brownish-black with a slight luster. The head is small and slightly triangular with the thorax. The compound eyes are prominent and oval, with a single pair of ocelli and a pair of antennae, each with 5 segments, most of which have fallen off. There are 2 pairs of wings on the back, the outer pair of which is hard at the base and the inner pair is membranous and transparent. There are 3 pairs of legs on the thorax, most of which have fallen off. The abdomen is reddish-brown to brownish-black, with small protrusions near the edges of each segment. The texture is brittle, and there is a light brown internal substance when broken. It has a peculiar odor and a slightly salty taste.
Identification
To 0.2g of the powder add 20 ml of petroleum ether (60-90°C) and treat with ultrasound for 20 minutes. Filter, wash the residue with petroleum ether 3 times, each time with 5 ml, combine the washings and the filtrate, and concentrate to 10 ml as the test solution. Take 0.2g of the reference drug of Aspongopus, and prepare the reference drug solution in the same way. Take the reference substance of oleic acid, add petroleum ether (60-90°C) to make a solution containing 5 mg per ml as the reference solution. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography<0502>, using silica gel G as the coating substance and a mixture of petroleum ether (60-90°C), ether, and glacial acetic acid (36:9:0.9) as the mobile phase. Place the plate in a developing tank pre-saturated with the mobile phase for 20 minutes, develop, remove, dry, and expose to iodine vapor until the spots are clearly visible. The chromatogram obtained with the test solution shows spots of the same color at the corresponding positions as the chromatogram of the reference drug and the chromatogram of the reference solution.

Overview
Stink-bug is the dried body of Aspongopus chinensis Dallas (Fam. Pentatomidae). The drug is collected from November to the next March, placed in an appropriate container, suffocated with wine, then taken out and dried； or scalded to death by boiling water, taken out, and dried.
Description
Somewhat hexagonal and flattened ellipsoidal, 1.6-2 cm long, about 1 cm wide. Externally brown or brownish-black, slightly lustrous. Small head and thorax slightly triangular； compound eyes protruded, ovoid, ocellus one pair； a pair of antennae each with 5 segments, usually fallen off. Dorsum bearing 2 pairs of wings, the outer pair relatively hard at the basal, the inner pair membranous and transparent. Thorax bearing 3 pairs of legs, usually fallen off. Abdomen brownish-red to brownish-black, each segment with projected small points near the margin. Texture fragile, pale brown contents in abdomen visible when broken. Odour, characteristic ； taste, slightly salty.
Identification
To 0.2 g of the powder add 20 ml of petroleum ether (60-90℃) , ultrasonicate for 20 minutes and filter, wash the residue with three 5-ml quantities of petroleum ether, combine the filtrate and the washings, and concentrate to 10 ml as the test solution. Prepare a solution of 0.2 g of Aspongopus reference drug in the same manner as the reference drug solution. Dissolve oleic acid CRS in petroleum ether (60-90℃)to produce a solution containing 5 mg per ml as the reference solution. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography<0502>, using silica gel G as the coating substance and a mixture of petroleum ether (60-90℃),ethyl acetate and glacial acetic acid (36 : 9 : 0.9) as the mobile phase. Apply separately to the plate 2 μl of each of the above three solutions. After developing in a chamber pre-saturated with the mobile phase for 20 minutes and removal of the plate, dry in air, expose to iodine vapour to the spots clear. The spots in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution correspond in position and colour to the spots obtained with the reference drug solution and the reference solution.
Examination
