Comments.
Another species with a striking bicoloured body,
H. fulvus
was described from
Bahia
,
Brazil
, on cotton, and recorded subsequently (as
H. anacardii
) damaging
Anacardium occidentale
(Anacardiaceae)
and
Caryocar villosum
(Caryocaraceae)
(
Mound & Marullo 1996
;
Lima
et al
. 2017
). We studied some
type
specimens of the synonymous
H. anacardii
in this work. A detailed and illustrated redescription of this species is provided by
Lima
et al.
(2017)
.
