Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus is a species of assassin bug family (Reduviidae), in the subfamily Harpactorinae. It is a predator of pests in tobacco fields.[1][2] Its main prey is the tobacco grayish bug, Spartocera dentiventris Berg (Hem.: Coreidae).[3]
Life history
Females require a period of time to mature their reproductive organs after emergence.[4]
