Dicyphus agilis (Hemiptera: Miridae), a new record as predator of aphids in tobacco crops in Colombia
Florida Entomologist 98 (1), 361-363
Abstract: Dicyphus agilis Uhler (Hemiptera: Miridae) is reported for the first time in Colombia as a predator of aphids. This study describes the external morphology and genitalia of the most prominent structures of males and females of D. agilis, which are necessary to differentiate this species from others with phytophagous habits in Colombia.
