Abstract


The presence of the introduced stink bug Loxa deducta Walker, 1867 in Chile is analyzed. New records are provided for the Valparaíso, O´Higgins and Maule regions, extending its distribution southwards and northwards. Identification tips are provided to differentiate it from other Chilean pentatomids, as well as Loxa Amyot & Serville, 1843 species in the neighbor countries.
