Micrauchenus lineola
(
Fabricius, 1787
)
Micrauchenus
Amyot & Servile, 1843
, is a monotypic genus.
M. lineola
was described from
French Guiana
, and has been recorded from
Colombia
,
Surinam
,
Guyana
, and
Brazil
(
Maldonado 1990
;
Bérenger & PluotSigwalt 1997
; GilSantana
et al
. 2003). Although
Adis (1984)
mentioned termitefeeding behavior for this species (as “
Micrauchenus lineolus
”) from Panamanian specimens, no specific localities were given.
Froeschner (1999)
in his catalogue of
Heteroptera
of
Panama
did not mention this genus. It is here recorded for the first time formally from
Panama
,
Venezuela
,
Trinidad and Tobago
, and
Peru
. Additional localities from
Colombia
and
Brazil
are also given below.
