Acoustic repertoire Pentatoma rufipes in addition to recruiting, competition and courtship signals includes a special type of signal – disruptively. The signal is used to prevent copulation attempts and the destruction of already copulating pairs. This type of signal is emitted only by females when the male attempts to copulate. It is shown that the signal not only prevents copulation, but also destroys already formed pairs.

Key words: Pentatomidae, Heteroptera, Pentatoma, behavior, communication, disruptive signals, pest control
