Abstract
Pellaea stictica Dallas, is a stinkbug of the Pentatomidae from the American continent. Recent reports from different countries reveal that its distribution throughout the tropical Andes is broader than previously reported. In this study we carry out a bibliographic review of the data published on P. stictica in Latin America, we compile information obtained from citizen science platforms and we collect field data for the identification of samples collected in museums. Through this process, the presence of the insect in different locations in Ecuador was corroborated and information on the plants it consumes was expanded. From these data, a possible dispersion by host plants that share their historical distribution in the tropical Andes is proposed. It is recommended to carry out more studies on the distribution and ecology of the species and to promote data curation in citizen science platforms.
