Notes: The functional responses of Novius punicus (Gordon) and N. cardinalis (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) were investigated using eggs and first-instar nymphs of Crypticerya multicicatrices Kondo and Unruh (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae), respectively, as prey. These results represent an advance in the evaluation of the potential of these predators to be used in a pest management program for C. multicicatrices..
