“…Consistent with this prediction, only four species representing four genera were described during the first quarter of the 20 th century and these are currently the only species known to occur in the United States (Henry 1988, 2010). The four species appear to have relatively large distribution ranges in the eastern and southeastern United States including one that was originally described from Guatemala (Henry et al 2010, Allen and Carlton 1989, Heidemann 1906, Hoffman et al 2005, Roble and Hoffman 2000, Hoffman et al 2007, McAtee and Malloch 1925). …”

“…In addition to the currently described species (9 in Corixidea , 12 in Nannocoris , and ~80 in Schizoptera : Emsley 1969, Leon and Weirauch 2016a,b), we examined specimens representing a large number of undescribed species from across the New World during taxonomic revisions that are ongoing (Weirauch Lab, unpublished data). Corixideamajor McAtee & Malloch, 1925 was described from Clarksville in Tennessee and has been recorded from Florida, Virginia, Arkansas and Oklahoma (Hoffman et al 2005, Henry et al 2010). Nannocorisarenarius Blatchley, 1926 is known from Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia (Hoffman et al 2007), but was originally described from Florida (Blatchley 1926).…”

Because species diversity of the small true bug family Schizopteridae is greatest in tropical and subtropical areas, it is not surprising that only four species have been described from the United States. As part of a larger project on the taxonomy and phylogenetics of Schizopteridae, 178 specimens from the United States were examined. This material contained representatives of the previously described species Glyptocombussaltator Heidemann, 1906, Corixideamajor McAtee & Malloch, 1925, Nannocorisarenarius Blatchley, 1926, and Schizopterabispina McAtee & Malloch, 1925, but also six undescribed species. These new taxa are described as Glyptocombushalbertaesp. n., Glyptocombussuterisp. n., Nannocorisanophorussp. n., Nannocorisbrevipilussp. n., Schizoptera (Cantharocoris) rileyisp. n., and Schizoptera (Schizoptera) henryisp. n. Habitus images and genitalic illustrations of the previously described and the new species are provided as well as a map showing distribution ranges of these species in the United States and Mexico. To provide a comprehensive treatment of the small genus Glyptocombus Heidemann, 1906, Glyptocombusmexicanussp. n. is also described that, to our knowledge, occurs only in Mexico, and the female of one additional undescribed Glyptocombus species is documented from Mexico.

“…The infraorder is subdivided into five morphologi cally quite distinctive families and comprises only about 320 described species (Stys 1995;Henry 2009), leaving thousands of species undiscovered and unnamed (Stys, unpublished). The scarce systematic activity in recent years has focused on distribution records and the description of some new recent and fossil taxa (Hill 1992(Hill , 2004Halbert and Brambila 2002;Hoffman et al 2005;Carpintero and Dellape 2006;Redei 2007Redei , 2008aHenry et al 2010), as well as on comparative morphological studies of spermathecae (Pluot-Sigwalt and Pericart 2003), ovaries (Stys et al 1998), wing venation (Redei 2007b), and chromosomes (Grozeva and Nokkala 1996).…”

Species in the heteropteran infraorder Dipsocoromorpha, or litter bugs, are small, cryptic, stunningly diverse and understudied. In addition to the vast amount of species discovery and morphological explora tion that remain to be done in this group, phylogenetic relationships within the litter bugs are poorly understood. A phylogenetic framework will make Dipsocoromorpha more accessible for systematic stud ies at all levels and is therefore a first step towards a comprehensive treatment of the group. Using a molecular dataset (87 taxa of Hemiptera including 35 Dipsocoromorpha; two genes) and maximum likelihood and parsimony methods, we here aim to test, for the first time using cladistic methods and a comprehensive dataset, relationships within Dipsocoromorpha. We investigate if Dipsocoromorpha are monophyletic, shed light on the relationships among the three families included in this analysis, and study relationships within the largest family of Dipsocoromorpha, the Schizopteridae. Based on this dataset, we find that the monophyly of Dipsocoromorpha is strongly supported in all analyses and that Ceratocombidae and Dipsocoridae together are recovered as the sister group of Schizopteridae. Within Schizopteridae, Hypselosomatinae are treated as the sister group to a dade formed by the monophyletic Ogeriinae and monophyletic Schizopterinae. Within Schizopterinae, there is evidence for the monophyly of the Corixidea genus group, and we present additional infra-generic and genus-level hypotheses. We discuss these hypotheses in the light of current classifications and hypotheses on relationships and as the first contribu tion towards revealing the phylogenetic relationships of a remarkable and neglected clade of true bugs.

“…Recent efforts (e.g., Lee and Barton 1983, Allen and Carlton 1989, Chordas et al 2005, Chordas and Kremers 2008, Kerzhner and Henry 2008, Scudder 2008, Chordas and Kremers 2009, Taylor and Gill 2009, Henry et al 2010, Chordas et al 2011, Swanson 2011, Gaspar et al 2015) have highlighted the true bug fauna of Arkansas. This paper adds to that effort by reporting 11 new species records of Heteroptera from the state.…”

BackgroundThis is the third in a series of papers detailing the terrestrial arthropods collected during an intensive survey of a site near Steel Creek campground along the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. The survey was conducted over a period of eight and a half months using twelve trap types – Malaise traps, canopy traps (upper and lower collector), Lindgren multifunnel traps (black, green, and purple), pan traps (blue, purple, red, white, and yellow), and pitfall traps – and Berlese-Tullgren extraction of leaf litter.New informationWe provide collection records for 54 species of Heteroptera, 11 of which were new state records for Arkansas: (Aradidae) Aradus approximatus, Aradus duzeei, Aradus ornatus, Neuroctenus elongatus, Neuroctenus pseudonymus, Notapictinus aurivilli; (Cydnidae) Sehirus cinctus; (Lygaeidae) Nysius raphanus; (Miridae) Prepops insitivus; (Reduviidae) Zelus tetracanthus; (Rhyparochromidae) Kolenetrus plenus.
