Wallabicoris, New Genus (Hemiptera: Miridae: Phylinae: Phylini) from Australia, with the Description of 37 New Species and an Analysis of Host Associations

Supplemental Material for 'Nineteen new genera and 82 new species of Cremnorrhinina from Australia, including analyses of host relationships and distributions (Insecta, Hemiptera, Miridae, Phylinae, Cremnorrhinini). (Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, no. 401)'

“…As has been shown in previous studies (Weirauch, 2007;Schuh and Pedraza, 2010;Schuh and Weirauch, 2010) the greatest diversity in some groups of Australian exocarpocorine Phylinae occurs in Western Australia, and as known from the western portions of those states. All records from Victoria are from the most desertic areas of the state and no taxa have been recorded from Tasmania.…”

“…2, 6, 10 for explanation). The female genitalia were also observed with temporary preparations; terminology of the bursa copulatrix and genital chamber are adapted from Schuh (2006), Schuh and Pedraza (2010), and Schuh and Weirauch (2010).…”

Myrtaceae-Feeding Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) from Australia: Description and Analysis of Phylogenetic and Host Relationships for a Monophyletic Assemblage of Three New Genera

“…Our concepts of female genitalic homology were informed by the studies of Weirauch (2007), Schuh and Pedraza (2010), and Weirauch and Schuh (2010). Genera included in those studies and members of the Melaleucoides group of genera possess morphological features of the posterior wall that are not seen outside of the Australian fauna.…”

“…Within the Phylini (Phylinae), a group with its greatest diversity in the Mediterraneanclimate regions of the world, recent papers have documented well-defined associations with a variety of host lineages within Australia, the occurrence of both IndoAustralian (Schuh and Menard, in prep. ) and Transantarctic distributional patterns (Weirauch and Schuh, in press), and radiation of Miridae in association with extreme floristic diversity in southwestern Australia (Weirauch, 2007;Soto and Weirauch, 2009;Schuh and Pedraza, 2010).…”

A Revised Classification of the Phylinae (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae): Arguments for the Placement of Genera

“…) Xiphoidellus Weirauch and Schuh, 2011 (Australian: Australia;6 spp. ) Xiphoidellus was related to Wallabicoris by Schuh and Pedraza (2010) on the basis of morphology and 16S mdnA sequence data. It was treated as related to Araucanophylus by Schuh and Weirauch (2010) on the basis of morphology.…”
