Abstract
New occurrences of Reduviidae from Bolivia and Brazil are recorded for the first time. Morphological remarks on the female of Heza gilsantanai Bérenger (Harpactorinae) are given. The possible aposematicism between Notocyrtus colombianus Carvalho & Costa (Harpactorinae) and Ptilotrigona lurida (Smith) (Hymenoptera; Apidae; Apinae) is suggested. Based on biological observations, Zelus nigrispinus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848) (Harpactorinae) is considered a junior synonym of Zelus versicolor (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848).References
