Abstract
The milkweed bug Spilostethus pandurus (Scopoli, 1763) original from the Old World, is reported for the first time from Dominican Republic and the insular Caribbean. This bug could represent a threat to cultivated plants of various families. We provide some diagnostic characteristics that allow the differentiation of the reported species from other Lygaeidae in Hispaniola.
