ABSTRACT In mimicry, a species signals fitness cost or benefit to receiver by resemblance another model species. While ants are among the most frequent models, few cases of ant mimicry known in stink bugs (Pentatomidae). Here, using geometric morphometric analysis, we propose that Rio nymphs might mimic Cephalotes ants.
