Abstract

The collections of the Pentatomidae family (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) housed at the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural “Prof. Eugenio de Jesús Marcano” (MNHNSD) and the Instituto de Investigaciones Botánicas y Zoológicas Prof. Rafael Ma. Moscoso (IIBZ) at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo are described. 2,113 specimens were found among both collections, distributed in 31 genera and 60 species, representing 86 and 76%, of the genera and species reported from Hispaniola. The collection at the MNHNSD holds 1,189 specimens, distributed in 29 genera and 57 species, while the one at the IIBZ holds 924 specimens, distributed in 28 genera and 49 species. Eight Hispaniolan endemic species are represented in these collections. No specimen collected in Haiti was found. Pharypia pulchella (Drury) is treated as a species of doubtful presence because just an unlabeled specimen was found.
