Scientific notes on Coptosoma variegatum Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838 (Hemiptera: Plataspidae): a potential pest of mango flower in Malaysia

The incidence of infestation by a black stink bug Coptosoma variegatum (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) on mango Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae) tree was scientifically reported for the first time in Malaysia. This insect is commonly known as home invader and legume pest. Abundance of this insect was...
