    Abstract As predaceous insects, the Asopinae have a great economic importance. The knowledge about the development of the species is essential for use in biological control programs. However, only 1% of the Neotropical Asopinae species have the immature stages known. In this work we describe the egg and the five nymphal stages of Podisus graziae Brugnera, Roell & Lemaître, 2021 using light and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that P. graziae eggs and nymphs present unique characters which are not observed in other species of the genus and subfamily. As other Podisus species, the egg present long aero-mycropilar processes, however, the chorion and operculum have a ring of minute spine-like projections. As main diagnostic characters of nymphs, the iridescent coloration of head, thorax and abdominal plates, and a pair of yellow spots in the pronotum and anterior region of abdomen are noticed.

    Abstract The predatory stink bugs are well known by their behavior, but the knowledge of the immature morphology and their natural history are scarce. Studies on predatory stink bugs are important to better understand their evolution and their use as biological controllers. Here, we describe the morphology of egg and the five nymphal instars of Oplomus catena (Drury, 1782), using optical and scanning electron microscopy. In general, O. catena immatures are very distinctive from other Asopinae species already studied. The egg is black, with short aero-micropylar processes and similar to those described for Stiretrus species. The nymphs can be diagnosed by the abdominal plates very large and bright blue. The color polymorphism of adults is fully illustrated, and four color patterns are proposed. The natural history of the species is described based on field and laboratory observations. The known prey of the species is reviewed and new preys are reported. The morphological and biological traits here described are discussed in order to better understand the biological role of predatory stink bugs.

    Abstract The presumed lost type of Arma pallipes Dallas is found and Thomas's (1992) neotype is hereby set aside (ICZN 1999, Art. 75.8). A. pallipes is proposed as junior subjective synonym of Podisus ventralis (Dallas). A lectotype designation by inference of holotype (Gaedike 1971) is accepted for the female typical specimen of P. neniator deposited at Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut (SDEI, Müncheberg, Germany) (ICZN 1999, Art. 74.6). Two new species of Podisus Herrich-Schäffer are described: Podisus graziae Brugnera, Roell Lemaître sp. nov. and Podisus thomasi Lemaître, Roell Brugnera sp. nov. Photographs of all types as well as of live specimens are provided.

    Abstract Immature stages of Neotropical Asopinae have been poorly studied. Here, the external morphology of eggs and nymphs of Tynacantha marginata Dallas are described using light and scanning electron microscopy. The egg is barrel-shaped with smooth surface, and long aero-micropylar processes. In the first instar, the color of abdomen varies along the development from yellow to red, the dorsal plates are pale, and the surface of evaporatorium bears spiked projections. From the second, the evaporatorium surface is reticulated. From third instar, the pronotum is orange with black lateral margins. The eggs and nymphs of T. marginata are unique among Neotropical Asopinae species of which the morphology is known, allowing the early identification of the species.

    Abstract In recent years, the management of invasive stink bugs (Pentatomidae) has been a challenge in many regions of the world, including the Neotropical, where four non-native species were detected in the last two decades. Species with invasive potential include the yellow-spotted stink bug, Erthesina fullo (Thunberg). It is polyphagous and is known to cause damages to fruit crops in Southeast Asia. Herein, we report for the first time the occurrence of E. fullo in Brazil (Santos, São Paulo). Nymphs and adults have been recorded nearby the Harbor of Santos since November 2020. A fifth instar nymph was collected and reared until adulthood. The insect was found feeding on Inga sp. leaves (Fabaceae), a plant restricted to the Neotropical Region. The detection of multiple specimens in Santos, plus their ability to feed on native and or on cultivated plants, may represent a threat to the Brazilian agribusiness and environment.

    Abstract Insects have different types of cuticular sensory structures, called sensilla, which are employed in environmental perception due to their direct connection to the nervous system. Antennae are the main structures containing these sensilla in Lepidoptera. This study used scanning electron microscopy to describe the general morphology and the types of antennal sensilla of the great southern white butterfly, Ascia monuste, an important pest that feeds on cruciferous plants during its larval stages. Organizational, distributional, and functional aspects are comparatively discussed, as well as potential sexual dimorphism. Sensilla and general morphology were analyzed using a stereomicroscope and photomicrographs in the ImageJ software. Four types of sensilla were found in males and females: sensilla trichodea, chaetica, basiconica and coeloconica. The number of flagellomeres was different between sexes, with females having more articles and a longer antennal length than males. The capitate antenna of this butterfly had a unique elliptical central sulcus in the median ventral surface of each segment, mostly containing sensilla trichodea. Some organizational aspects of the sensilla chaetica close to the central sulci along the flagellum were observed. The remaining sensilla were randomly distributed on the antenna, mainly at the ventral surface, while the dorsal surface was almost totally covered by scales. This is the first report about ultrastructural morphology of the antenna of A. monuste, whose sensilla appear similar to those of other Pieridae butterflies, suggesting mechanical, chemo-, thermo-, and hygro-sensitivity in this insect.

    Abstract The Asopinae are known for their predatory behavior, differing from the phytophagous habits of most pentatomoids, feeding mostly on soft body insects such as larvae of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. For this reason, asopines have been studied as biological controllers in integrated pest management programs. Notwithstanding their clear relevance, the general knowledge about Asopinae has important gaps, especially regarding immature. Thus, the importance of studying eggs and nymphs of true bugs (Heteroptera) is evident, contributing to understand their classification, biology, and evolution. In this perspective, we conducted a research about immature of predatory stink bugs, highlighting critical features for identification. We present: (1) a literature overview about eggs and nymphs of predatory stink bugs guided by selected categories; (2) images of females laying eggs of ten species and nymphs of thirty-four species, obtained on websites with a citizen science approach; (3) a comparative morphology of immature of six species reared under laboratory conditions, which we examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. We found a remarkable morphological diversity of both eggs and nymphs of Asopinae, revealing key features to establish diagnoses for identification and potential characters to phylogenetics, such as the aero-micropylar processes and chorion scultpturing of the eggs; and the coloration, labium and abdominal plates morphology of nymphs. The results show that little is known about Asopinae immature considering the diversity of the group; however, information obtained by citizen science initiatives, for instance, can improve this knowledge.
