Tatupa grafei, a new genus and species of Cylapinae (Heteroptera, Miridae) from Brunei Darussalam

Abstract

<jats:p>A new genus and species, <jats:italic>Tatupa grafei</jats:italic> Tyts, Namyatova &amp;amp; Konstantinov, <jats:bold>gen. et sp. nov.</jats:bold> (Heteroptera, Miridae, Cylapinae, Fulviini), is described from Brunei Darussalam. A diagnosis, photographs of the dorsal habitus, scanning micrographs of selected morphological structures, and illustrations of male and female genitalia are provided for this new species. Its taxonomic placement within the subfamily Cylapinae is briefly discussed. A comparison with the morphologically most similar genus, <jats:italic>Proamblia</jats:italic> Bergroth, 1910, is made, and scanning micrographs of <jats:italic>Proamblia</jats:italic> are also provided.</jats:p>

Five new genera of the subfamily Cylapinae (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae) from Australia

“…It is very likely the true diversity of this subfamily is still not comprehensive, as many of its representatives live in litter and under bark in tropical forests and cannot be collected using the most common mirid collection technique, plant sweeping and beating. During the last decade numerous Cylapinae taxa collected by hands, malaise traps, light traps, fogging, and bark spraying have been described from different regions (e.g., Carpintero and Cherot 2014 ; Wolski 2014 , 2017 ; Wolski and Gorczyca 2014a ; Wolski et al 2016 , 2017 , 2018 ; Namyatova and Cassis 2019a ; Tyts et al 2020 ).…”
