ABSTRACT
Very little is known about the biology of Catorhintha species, for which a total of 32 species are known, with 10 species present in Mexico. The aim of this work was to describe the immature stages of Catorhintha apicalis scrutator. For this, adults and nymphs were collected as part of a project to study the Hemiptera diversity in contrasting environments in the Cuitzeo Basin, Michoacan. Sampling was done by direct collections and entomological nets; and a total of 523 individuals, 452 nymphs and 71 adults were collected during one year. The 84% of individuals were collected during the rainy season with the greater abundance in August and September, when Mirabilis jalapa (Nyctaginaceae) its host plant, was also more abundant in the study area. All instars were described and notes about their biology and phenology are provided, including the association with its host plant Mirabilis jalapa; besides, comparisons with other species in the genus Catorhintha were made.

RESUMEN
Muy poco se conoce de la biología de las especies de Catorhintha, para el cual se existen 32 especies, 10 especies están presentes en México. El presente estudio, tuvo como objetivo la descripción de los estados inmaduros de Catorhintha apicalis scrutator. Como parte de un estudio sobre la biodiversidad de Hemípteros en ambientes contrastantes de la Cuenca de Cuitzeo, Michoacán, se recolectaron adultos y ninfas. El muestreo se hizo por medio de recolecta directa y red entomológica. Durante un periodo de un año, se recolectaron un total de 523 individuos, 452 ninfas y 71 adultos. El 84% de los individuos fueron recolectados durante la temporada de lluvias con una mayor abundancia entre Agosto y Septiembre, cuando Mirabilis jalapa (Nyctaginaceae), su planta huésped, también es más abundante en el área de estudio. Se describen e ilustran todos los estados de vida, incluyendo notas sobre su biología y fenología en asociación con la planta huésped Mirabilis jalapa; se hacen comparaciones con otras especies del género Catorhintha.
