¡Muchas gracias, Toucan!
Thank you Yuko.
Khathoub--Sorry, I've tried with Tamil and Sinhala and I can´t understand the last word. Any way thanks for your comment.
Thanks Maria for your comment!
I'm sorry. My mistake, I wrote in my last comment: 'my beetle' instead of 'my bug'.
Thank you Sérgio for the ID. Definetly, my beetle must be a regional variation. According to this link, the basic form of Pachycoris torridus has black or brown coloration and yellow or red spots. But the most important for me, is the number of spots, this must be: eight spots on the pronotum and fourteen on the scutellum. My beetle has eight spots on the pronotum but only nine spots on the scutellum.

Creo que este es una variación de éste: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/170... Ellos vienen en diferentes colores.
Thanks Adarsha for your comment!
Gerardo: ¡Muchas gracias! El género está bien, todavía no encontré ninguna especie con esas manchas. Así que, por ahora dejé el género que ya es bastante.
