“…Poucas coletas foram feitas na América do Sul e, ainda assim, possui o segundo maior número de espécies descritas, abaixo somente da Indomalásia, que teve coletas intensivas no leste da Ásia (Otte & Brock 2005). Para o Brasil, mais de 200 espécies estão citadas (Zompro & Domenico 2005).…”

“…Although some types were originally classified using classical criteria ( Lewis et al 1977 , Ready et al 1980 ), this catalogue follows the phylogenetic classification proposed by Galati (1995) . The article is presented in accordance with earlier lists of other insect groups ( Zompro and Domenico 2005 , Mello and Ziegler 2012 , Reboleira et al 2012 ). Image database and digitalization of information has been undertaken and the latter is available at Species Link Database ( http://splink.cria.org.br ).…”

“…The Order includes 13 families, 523 genera and 2.822 species. Of these species, 591 occur in the Neotropical region [11], and more than 200 in Brazil [12]. Cladomorphus phyllinus feeds on leaves of several fruit trees, and is considered one of the largest walk-stick insect species in the Southern Hemisphere, where female can reach 22 cm long [13].…”

Objective: The stink bug Supputius cincticeps is a well-known neotropical, generalist predator. However, in contrast to other predators, S. cincticeps also need to feed on plants to complete its life cycle. The aim of this report is to describe predation by S. cincticeps on Cladomorphus phyllinus, a walking-stick insect that feeds on leaves of several fruit trees, and is considered one of the largest walk-stick insect species in the Southern Hemisphere. Also a new hypothesis for camouflage is discussed. Results: Suputius cincticeps, recently brought from nature, was accidentally introduced into a colony of C. phyllinus, while feeding them with guava leaves. Once the nymph of S. cincticeps detected the C. phyllinus female it displayed immediately feeding behavior. Both adults and nymphs of C. phyllinus were observed to be predated by S. cincticeps. This new predatory interaction offers a novel evolutionary hypothesis for camouflage based on horizontal transfer of genes a process that might be occurring in nature. Keywords: Phasmatodea, Asopinae, predation, camouflage
