Both the black median spot on head dorsum and the black spot posterior to the pronotal calli are not mentioned in the original description of the species; however, we record these features herein as they are present in all specimens we studied and are included in Carvalho’s personal notes (unpublished documents once housed in the National Museum of Brazil, MNRJ). Specimens of A. columbiensis in the original description ranged 7.50 – 8.50 mm long (Carvalho & Gomes 1971 a). Specimens in the present work are 6.70 – 7.50 mm; hence, length ranges are 6.70 – 8.50 mm.	en	Alvarez-Zapata, Alejandra, Ferreira, Paulo S.

Specimens of E. villetanus in literature are 4.00 mm long (Carvalho & Costa 1989). Specimens in the present work are 3.20 – 3.30 mm; hence, length ranges are 3.20 – 4.00 mm. We have two specimens belonging to this genus, which we couldn’t place to species. The genus is in need of revision.	en	Alvarez-Zapata, Alejandra, Ferreira, Paulo S.

7411878C792AFFD433F1F900FDD3973B.taxon	discussion	Comments. This is the first record of this genus in Colombia. The genus is composed by two described species: Emboliocoris marginatus (Distant, 1884) and Emboliocoris pacaraimensis Carvalho & China, 1951, each described from one specimen. Carvalho & China (1951) differentiated the two species by the color pattern and the male genitalia; however, the genitalia of E. marginatus is neither described nor illustrated. Therefore, we requested assistance from the British Museum of Natural History (BMNH) to obtain photographs and the label information of the Holotypes. With this, we were able to determine that the Holotype of E. marginatus is in fact a female. The genitalia of the specimen examined in this study matches that of E. pacaraimensis, but the coloration pattern resembles that of E. marginatus, particularly the transverse spot on the pronotum; due to this, it was not possible to identify the specimen at the species level.	en	Alvarez-Zapata, Alejandra, Ferreira, Paulo S.

7411878C7916FFE833F1FC6BFC20973B.taxon	discussion	Comments. Crowe (1953) and Fennah (1947) described P. quadrimaculatus as “ a major pest of cucurbits ”. This species is commonly known as “ squash capsid ”, “ bean capsid ”, and “ melon bug ”, among others. Several methods have been used to control it, including the parasitoid chalcid wasps Anagrus yawi Fullaway 1944 and A. nigriventis Girault, 1911 (Mymaridae); fungus Entomophthora sphaerosperma Fresenius and the assassin bug Zelus renardii Kolenati, 1857 (Reduviidae) (Zimmerman 1948; Triapitsyn 1997). P. quadrimaculatus thrives in dry weather, is attracted to light (Zimmerman 1948), and is easily found in sandy places of North America (Uhler 1894 a). In addition, it is attracted to cantharidin, which is secreted by blister beetles (Young 1984; Hemp & Konrad 2000). We have fourty-five specimens belonging to this genus, we could not place to species. which we couldn’t place to species. The genus is in need of revision.	en	Alvarez-Zapata, Alejandra, Ferreira, Paulo S.

In addition to the species of Tenthecoris listed herein, Tenthecoris bicolor Scott, 1886 is recorded in Colombia in Swezey (1945) but was excluded from this synopsis due to the doubtful identification of the species. Tenthecoris bicolor was recorded in 1945 from material intercepted in the United States in Cattleya sp. and Cattleya gigas (Orchidaceae) (Swezey 1945) arriving from Colombia. However, identifications of T. bicolor Scott, 1886 and T. orchidearum (Reuter, 1902) before 1951 must be questioned as Tenthecoris orchidearum Reuter, 1902 was synonymized with T. bicolor by Reuter in 1907, but later in 1951, after studying the holotypes of both species, Carvalho (1951 b) restored the species status of T. orchidearum. Reliable records of Tenthecoris bicolor and T. orchidearum before 1951 can be found in Carvalho (1957).	en	Alvarez-Zapata, Alejandra, Ferreira, Paulo S.
