Resumen:
During March 2000, nymphs and adults of the cyrtocorid bugs Cyrtocoris egeris Packauskas & Schaefer and C. trigonus (Germar) were observed on two
different plants at two different localities. In Brazil (Londrina, Paraná
State) adult C. trigonus were found feeding on stems of
the weed plant arrow leaf sida, Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae). Despite egg deposition in the
laboratory, nymphs did not develop on this plant. In Argentina (Reconquista,
Santa Fé Province), nymphs and adults of C. egeris were observed feeding on
immature soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] pods. Under laboratory conditions,
nymphs of neither species could be reared beyond the third instar.
