Oxycarenus hyalinipennis is a species of plant bug belonging to the family Lygaeidae, subfamily Oxycareninae.[1] While historically it has been documented as an important pest of cotton in the Mediterranean region and in coastal Africa,[2] it is an invasive species whose range has expanded over the last three decades to include islands of the Caribbean region[3].
O. hyalinipennis is a polyphagous insect, and it has been documented as a prominent pest upon the following genera within family Malvaceae: Abutilon, Cola, Eriodendron, Gossypium, Malva, Sphaeralcea, Hibiscus, Pavonia, Sida, Dombeya, Sterculia and Triumfetta.[1][4] Of these, Gossypium appears to be the preferred host,[2][5] but significant pest presence on okra has also been reported.[6]
