     I am an M.S. graduate student with Dr. Jocélia Grazia. My primary interests are: 1) Morphology of the immature stages of Pentatomidae, including studies in scanning electron microscopy; 2) Biology of phytophagous stink bugs; and 3) Taxonomy and biodiversity of Neotropical Pentatomidae.

Current Projects:

1) Descriptions and laboratory rearing of immature stages of Pentatomidae from southern Brazil: Chinavia spp.,  Euschistus spp. and others.  

2) Scanning electron microscopy studies with the eggs of several Neotropical Pentatomidae. 

3) Revision of the genus Stalius (Pentatomidae: Discocephalinae: Ochlerini). 

4) Biodiversity of Pentatomoidea in Rio Grande do Sul State.
