Abstract

Descriptions are given of two new species of pentatomid bug, one known to transmit the disease ‘marchitez’ (caused by Phytomonas staheli) of oil palm in Ecuador and the other associated with hartrot (caused by the same flagellate) in coconut palm in French Guiana. Notes are included on a third species also associated with hartrot in French Guiana. The species are Lincus lethifer sp.n., L. apollo sp.n. and L. croupius Rolston.
