Instars III-V of Nabis (Tropiconabis) capsiformis Germar are described and illustrated, based on specimens from La Pampa, Argentina (new record).

Se describen e ilustran los estadios III-V de Nabis (Tropiconabis) capsiformis German, con base en ejemplares de La Pampa, Argentina (nueva cita).

Durante o mês de março de 2000, foram coletados adultos dos percevejos cirtocorídeos Cyrtocoris egeris Packauskas & Schaefer e C. trigonus (Germar) em duas espécies de plantas e em dois locais distintos. No Brasil (Londrina, PR) adultos de C. trigonus foram observados alimentando-se em hastes de guanxuma, Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae). Apesar de as fêmeas terem ovipositado em laboratório, as ninfas não sobreviveram nesse alimento. Na Argentina (Reconquista, Província de Santa Fé), adultos e ninfas de C. egeris foram observados alimentando-se em vagens imaturas de soja, Glycine max (L.) Merrill. Nas condições de laboratório utilizadas, as ninfas não conseguiram se desenvolver além do terceiro instar.

During March 2000, nymphs and adults of the cyrtocorid bugs Cyrtocoris egeris Packauskas & Schaefer and C. trigonus (Germar) were observed on two different plants at two different localities. In Brazil (Londrina, Paraná State) adult C. trigonus were found feeding on stems of the weed plant arrow leaf sida, Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae). Despite egg deposition in the laboratory, nymphs did not develop on this plant. In Argentina (Reconquista, Santa Fé Province), nymphs and adults of C. egeris were observed feeding on immature soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] pods. Under laboratory conditions, nymphs of neither species could be reared beyond the third instar.

With the intention of contributing to the knowledge of the biodiversity in the protected areas of Argentina, terrestrial Heteroptera were collected in the Natural Reserve of the Iberá. The sampling site was the locality of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini (28° 32'S 57° 09'W) and the following collection methods were used: sweeping, beating, fogging and light-trapping. A list is presented, with 90 species belonging to the superfamilies Reduvioidea (Reduviidae), Mirioidea (Miridae), and Lygaeoidea (Berytidae, Colobathristidae, Cymidae, Lygaeidae, Blissidae, Geocoridae, Pachygrontidae and Rhyparochromidae), 13 of them are new records for the Argentine Republic (Debilia fusciventris, Sindala granuligera, Pnirontis (Centromelus) tabida, Cymoninus notabilis, Ochrimnus (Phaeochrimnus) limbatipennis, Oncopeltus luctuosus, Ischnodemus gayi, Oedancala nana, Cistalia signoretii, Paracholula picta, Cholula lympha, Cholula maculatus, Pseudopachybrachius vinctus) and 36 new records for the province of Corrientes.
