I just talked with Laurence Livermore from the MNH and he would agree with the Hypselonotus cf. interruptus. He also mentioned that there should be done some more and intense research about this genus.

Here's another one that has a slightly different color. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/116836067

Maybe Hypselonotus interruptus?? I will ask Laurence.

Coreidae, Coreinae, Hypselonotini, Hypselonotus sp., I would say... Tricky genus anyway, there is a great variability and a lot of discussions! http://beetlesinthebush.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/brazil-bugs-4-mais-dos-percevejos/
