Abstract : Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) is a phytophagous bug that can be found in several crops due to availability of food and favorable conditions for the development. The aim of this research was to record the occurrence of L. zonatus colonizing plants of Malpighia emarginata Sessé & Moc (Malpighiaceae), Morus nigra Linnaeus (Moraceae), Mangifera indica Linnaeus (Anacardiaceae) in Municipality of Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil. L. zonatus should be included in monitoring for the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in these plants.
