“…Homologous sclerotized tubercles are unknown outside the Reduviidae. Cai et al (1994) documented the absence and presence of striae on the prosternal stridulitrum for a large sample of Reduviidae and found that more than 60 species lack stria. Plectrum and stridulitrum were therefore coded as separate characters in the present analysis.…”

With more than 6600 species worldwide, Reduviidae (Insecta: Heteroptera), or assassin bugs, form the second largest and one of the most diverse groups of true bugs. The poor condition of the higher-level classification of Reduviidae is reflected by the facts that different authors recognize between 21 and 32 subfamilylevel names and that Reduviidae were never subjected to a rigorous cladistic analysis using an exemplar approach. In the present study, a cladistic analysis of higher-level taxa of Reduviidae based on 162 morphological characters and 75 ingroup and outgroup species is presented. Twenty-one subfamily-level taxa of Reduviidae were examined, accounting for 28 tribes. In addition to characters previously used for diagnosis in Reduviidae, information on recently published character complexes is used in the present analysis, supplemented with new character information gathered specifically for this project. Reduviidae are supported as a monophyletic group with Pachynomidae as their sister taxon. The major results of this study are the support of a sistergroup relationship of Hammacerinae with the remaining Reduviidae, the monophyly of the Phymatine Complex, the relatively basal position of Harpactorinae within Reduviidae as well as a novel hypothesis on the relationships within this group, and the sistergroup relationship of Ectrichodiinae þ Tribelocephalinae and their placement in a clade that also contains Emesinae, Saicinae, and Visayanocorinae. The analysis further supports a clade formed by paraphyletic Salyavatinae þ Sphaeridopinae, renders Vesciinae non-monophyletic, and demonstrates the polyphyly of Reduviinae. Pseudocetherinae are shown to group with some Reduviinae. Triatominae are supported as a monophyletic group and are nested among additional Reduviinae and Stenopodainae.

Revalidation of the Australasian genus Microsandalus Stål stat. rev., with redescription of M. umbrosus Stål (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

The generic status of Microsandalus Stål, 1867 stat. rev. is discussed and formally revalidated. The type species of this genus, M. umbrosus Stål, 1867, is redescribed and illustrated with an emphasis on sexual dimorphism. The lectotype of M. umbrosus is designated. Pirates sobrius Walker, 1873 is found to be the brachypterous female of M. umbrosus, and therefore, a previous synonymy, which had recently gone unnoticed, is confirmed. A key to help separate peiratine genera distributed in Australia is provided.

Anterior pronotal lobe developed, longitudinally depressed in middle and distinctly sculptured; posterior pronotal lobe slightly longer than anterior pronotal lobe, disk distinctly depressed; lateral pronotal angles round, posterior margin of pronotum slightly concave; stridulitrum subwide total-striate typed (Cai et al, 1994); mesopleuron without a tuberculus near border of anterior margin; scutellum unarmed; fore, mid and hind femora nearly same thickness and distinctly nodulose ( Fig. 1).…”
