<strong>A new synonymy of <em>Graptocleptes</em> <em>bicolor</em> (Burmeister), with taxonomical notes (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Harpactorinae: Harpactorini)</strong>

First record of the assassin bug genus Coilopus Elkins, 1969 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) from Colombia

“…Coilopus (Elkins 1969;Carvalho et al 2001;Gil-Santana and Forero 2009). All the known localities for this species are in lowland areas.…”

“…This has led to confusion about the generic circumscription of a number of taxa and resulted in a number of synonyms among Neotropical genera (Gil-Santana and Forero 2009;Swanson 2012). If taxonomic information is scant, biological data are basically non-existent for most Neotropical Harpactorini.…”

“…Coilopus Elkins, 1969 is a harpactorine genus resembling wasps (Elkins 1969), for which no biological information is available. Coilopus has been recorded from Costa Rica, French Guiana, and Brazil (Elkins 1969;Gil-Santana and Forero 2009).…”

Predation on Leptinopterus Hope species (Coleoptera, Lucanidae) by three species of Reduviidae (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil

“…Despite the lack of consensus about the suprageneric classification of Reduviidae, more than 20 subfamilies are recognized. Harpactorinae is the largest subfamily and is represented by the tribes Apiomerini and Harpactorini in the New World (Capriles 1990;sChuh & slater 1995;Forero et al 2008;Gil-santana & Forero 2009). …”

“…These diurnal predators live on plants, and at least some use sticky material on the anterior tibiae to hold prey (sChuh & slater 1995;Gil-santana & Forero 2010). Many species of Apiomerini have been revealed to be polyphagous, attacking pest insects as well as useful insects (Costa lima 1940b;Gil-santana et al 2003).…”
