Two new genera and four new species of Neotropical Eccritotarsini (Heteroptera, Miridae, Bryocorinae)

Abstract

In this study two new genera and four new species of Eccritotarsini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Bryocorinae) are described. Thomasomiris gen. nov. is established to accommodate Thomasomiris setosus sp. nov. (from Panama) and Egerocoris gen. nov., is described for E. ecuatorianus sp. nov. (the type species), E. dimorphus sp. nov. (both from Ecuador) and E. chaparensis sp. nov. (from Bolivia). Adult habitus and male genitalia photographs are provided for each species. A key to species is also provided and the affinities of the new genera are discussed.
