“…Despite the presence of toxic compounds in fruits/leaves, several species of phytophagous insects have been recorded to feed on P. undulatum, such as the sucking scales and mealybugs Parlatoria pittospori Maskell, 1891 (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) (Timlin 1964), Ceroplastes floridensis Comstock, 1881 (Hemiptera: Coccidae), Aspidiotus nerii Bouché, 1833 (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni Tozzetti, 1867) (Hemiptera: (Pseudococcidae) (Ben-Dov 2011-2012, and the aphids Macrosiphum tonantzin Peña-Martínez, Muñoz-Viveros & Jensen, 2019 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Jensen et al 2019), and Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Mokhtari et al 2012). Among the true bugs (Heteroptera), one species of mirid Monalonion velezangeli Carvalho and Costa, 1988 (Hemiptera: Miridae) is recorded (Ocampo Flórez et al 2018).…”

A survey of stink bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) was conducted on the invasive tree, Pittosporum undulatum Ventenat (Pittosporaceae) in southern Brazil (Passo Fundo – RS, latitude 28º15’46” S; longitude 52°24´24” W) aiming to know if this exotic plant might host these insects. Results indicated that P. undulatum was found hosting the stink bugs Chinavia erythrocnemis (Berg, 1878), Chinavia impicticornis (Stål, 1872) and Loxa deducta Walker, 1867. Chinavia impicticornis was rare (only one nymph collected) while C. erythrocnemis was much more abundant (30 adults collected), and nymphs were able to develop and adult to reproduce on fruits of P. undulatum in the laboratory; however, the viability of nymphs was negatively affected. Loxa deducta was intermediate (20 adults collected) and, from the only egg mass obtained in the laboratory, nymphs died few days later. The results suggest that P. undulatum may provide some nutrients and shelter, but not provide ideal conditions to guarantee the continuous development of these stink bugs species.
