Resumen

In the tobacco crop (Nicotiana tabacum, Lin.), the principal pest is known as tobacco budworm, a species scientifically named as Heliothis virescens (Fab.). However, studies in Venezuela and Colombia show the presence of a species complex, traditionally identified as H. virescens, which additionally comprises the species Heliothis tergeminus (Felder and Rogenhofer, 1872) and Heliothis subflexus (Guenée, 1852), the last one only reported on
plants of the genus Physalis.
