First record of Sesbania punicea (Fabales: Fabaceae) as a host plant for Chinavia hilaris (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
Florida Entomologist 98 (3), 989-990
Abstract: Sesbania punicea (Cav.) Benth. (Fabales: Fabaceae) plants in a field border surrounding a cotton field were sampled for Chinavia hilaris (Say) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) to determine if this leguminous shrub served as a host for this stink bug. Chinavia hilaris adults and nymphs fed on fruit of this plant, and nymphs developed on the plant. This is the first record of S. punicea as a host for this stink bug.
