Abstract
Pentatomidae is one of the largest families within Heteroptera, and it is represented in all zoogeographical regions, although the tropical and subtropical faunas are the most diverse. The field trips carried out in recent years in several localities in Argentina allow to update the distribution of stink bugs in the country. In this contribution, the genera Cataulax Spinola and Grazia Rolston, and the species Acledra breviscutata Breddin, Banasa peruana Thomas, Banasa dolabrata Thomas, Cataulax froeschneri Grazia, Campos & Becker, Grazia tincta (Distant), Mayrinia variegata (Distant), Mitripus acutus (Dallas), and Tylospilus peruvianus (Horváth), are recorded for the first time from Argentina. The characters used for the identification of these genera and species are provided. In addition, the geographic distribution of other 27 pentatomid species is expanded and new records of host plants are reported for Alveostethus pseudopolitus (Ruckes), Antiteuchus mixtus (Fabricius) and Pellaea stictica (Dallas)
