Description

Euschistus (Euschistus) heros (Fabricius, 1798)

Material examined. Brazil: Piauí — Guaribas, SCNP, Próximo ao Museu do Vaqueiro; 09°08'17.7"S, 43°35'51.6"W; 11/XII/2018; Sweep net; 1♀ (MZSPHEM0013242); Prando JS leg. Ceará — Aiuaba, AES, Estrada, ao lago do brejo; alt. 486 m; 04/VI/2021; 6°41'31.2"S, 40°11'13.1"W; Sweep net; 1♀ (MZSPHEM0013241); Carrenho R leg.

Distribution. A—Piauí, Ceará, and Bahia. B—Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. C— French Guiana, Paraguay, and Argentina. Rolston (1974) mentioned that E. heros ‘may occur in Panama’. Froeschner (1999) and Cambra et al. (2018) listed E. heros in Panama as well, but without a list of examined material. The first author (AMM) is currently reviewing the distribution of this species, and there is no evidence of its presence in Panama.

References. The following selected references cover the currently known distribution of E. heros; it does not correspond to all the literature including the species.
