Poekilloptera phalaenoides (Hemiptera: Flatidae): occurrence on Inga striata (Fabaceae) in a mountainous region

“…Poekilloptera phalaenoides, observed throughout the year in its host, completed its biological cycle on I. striata. The feeding of this insect on the plant I. striata increases the number of host records for this insect in the Southeast region, besides the reports on Abarema villosa (Fabaceae), Acacia podalyriaefolia and Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia, (Fabaceae) in Minas Gerais state (Pires et al, 2011;Menezes et al, 2012Menezes et al, , 2018, and Cassia grandis and Senna macranthera (Fabaceae) in São Paulo state (Michelotto et al, 2013). In the Midwest Brazil, this insect was recorded on Tachigali vulgaris (Fabaceae) in Goiás state, on a plant of Sclerolobium paniculatum (Caesalpinioideae) in Mato Grosso state, on Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae), Dalbergia miscolobium (Fabaceae), Hymenaea stigonocarpa (Caesalpinaceae), Maprounea guianensis (Euphorbiaceae), Ocotea spixiana (Lauraceae), Salacia crassifolia (Hippocrateaceae), Sclerolobium paniculatum (Caesalpinaceae) and Styrax ferrugineus (Styracaceae) in Distrito Federal (Silva-Neto et al, 2017;Oliveira and Frizzas, 2015;Manica et al, 2012).…”
