Summary:Oliveira-Junior et al discuss the rirst record of the predatory stink bug Podisus sagitta (Hemiptera: Asopinae) in Brazil. Predatory stink bugs (Asopinae) are found in a wide range of natural and agricultural habitats and are important biological control agents. Podisus spp. is the most diverse genus in Asopinae, currently with 32 species distributed in the Neotropical and Nearctic regions. Podisus sagitta has been reported occasionally in the literature. Its original locality is Central America, occurring from the southern United States to South America. The authors aim to record, for the first time, the natural occurrence of P. sagitta in Brazil and preliminary data of its biology in the laboratory.
