Recent research shows that the Cerrado has a great diversity of scale insects (Insecta: Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) in association with native plants. This work aimed to report occurrence Acutaspis oliveirai (Lepage & Giannotti, 1942) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) found for first time Central Brazil and plants Myrsine guianensis (Primulaceae), common species Brazilian Cerrado, potential use landscaping recovery degraded areas. is A. plant biome Brazil. individuals were on leaf surface M. leaves two locations Federal District, Brazil, causing irregular yellowing chlorotic spots throughout blade.

The family Phloeidae, a.k.a.Neotropical bark bugs, is one of the less speciose families Pentatomoidea, with three species included in two genera, Phloea Spinola and Phloeophana Kirkaldy.Distributed Neotropics, these bugs are recognized by large size, flattened body, presence foliaceous expansions throughout eyes divided into dorsal ventral portions, cryptic coloration, camouflaging themselves barks trees.Despite their larger identity not well delimited, distribution sparsely known, relationships other Pentatomoidea still unknown.Besides that, some authors debate wether enigmatic genus Serbana Distant, described from Borneo, should be Phloeidae or not.In this dissertation, we present a morphological review Neotropics (considering Phloeophana), providing new diagnoses for family, genera species, an identification key adults nymphs describing chromatic variation subquadrata Spinola.We also literature synonymic lists updated maps, including unpublished data collection specimens citizen science platforms.We performed phylogenetic analysis using approach to investigate main questions: between pentatomoids, not.A matrix 123 revised characters was assembled, 71 12 were our analyses.Photographic documentation provided most characters.Our results corroborated that as sister group + Phloeophana.The share many synapomorphies, which discussed study.Our dubious regarding (including Serbana), suggesting distinct hypotheses: relationship Scutelleridae, clade Scuteleridae four families.Finally, briefly discuss incongruence recent molecular evidence supporting part Pentatomidae, possible convergences explanation incongruences found.
