dc.description.abstractSome insects use wasps as a model to mimic and previous studies showed cases of Batesian mimicry involving this insect group. However, this relation is poorly known between phytophagous bugs, such as coreids, and Cryptinae ichneumonids. We found in a seasonal secondary forest in Brazil two similar insects representing different orders. The mimic seems to be Holymenia clavigera (Herbst) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) and its model, Cryptanura sp. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). This study therefore investigated similarities in morphological and behavioural aspects between H. clavigera and the wasp Cryptanura sp. Holymenia clavigera and its ichneumonid model are impressively similar in colour, size, foraging behaviour and sympatric range. The spanning movements of antennae by the coreid bug, which strongly resemble the foraging behaviour of the wasp, were observed frequently. The findings indicate strong evidences that H. clavigera is a mimic of the Ichneumonidae wasp, Cryptanura sp.en

No entanto, esta relação é pouco conhecida entre percevejos fitófagos, tais como coreídeos, e ichneumonídeos Cryptinae. Encontramos em uma floresta secundária sazonal no Brasil dois insetos similares representando diferentes ordens. O mímico parece ser Holymenia clavigera (Herbst) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) e seu modelo, Cryptanura sp. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). Este estudo investigou semelhanças em aspectos morfológicos e comportamentais entre H. clavigera e a vespa Cryptanura sp. Holymenia clavigera e seu modelo ichneumonídeo são impressionantemente similares na cor, tamanho, comportamento de forrageamento e faixa simpátrica. Os movimentos abrangentes das antenas pelo percevejo coreídeo, que se assemelham fortemente ao comportamento de forrageamento da vespa, foram observados frequentemente. As descobertas apontam fortes evidências que H. clavigera é um mímico da vespa Ichneumonidae, Cryptanura sp.pt-BR
