Comments: Froeschner (1988) listed this species under the preoccupied name, Cosmopepla bimaculata ( Thomas, 1865) . He correctly explained that it was not preoccupied by Pentatoma bimaculata Westwood, 1837 , but apparently he was unaware of the description of Pentatoma bimaculata by Montrouzier (1855), predating Thomas’ Pentatoma bimaculata by ten years. See Rider & Rolston (1995) for clarification. So, many of the records for this species are under its synonyms, Cosmopepla bimaculata or Cosmopepla carnifex ( Fabricius, 1798) .
