Well, I think zonatus is more common in Costa Rica...

Thank you for the ID, Mona Pirih and bayucca, also for all the Links.
I looked at Leptoglossus phyllopus and Leptoglossus cf. zonatus in the internet and they place my bug in both??!!

Used by several authors, EOL, various wikis. I don't know it's origin, either...

Actually I do not know why and where this additional "d" is coming from...

Thank you, tmvdh.

Well, actually both are synonyms for the same tribe ;-).

... but it's Anisoscelidini, not Anisoscelini ;-).

I agree, bayucca.

Pues, parece ser una ninfa de una especie de los Coreidae, Anisoscelidini.

Ya te lo mande, tmvdh. Gracias.
Sabes que es?
