Rhagovelia zecai sp. nov., from the Brazilian Amazon, is described, illustrated, compared with similar species, and included in a key to species of the robusta group recorded from the country.

Global warming may affect species abundance and distribution, as well as temperature-dependent morphometric traits. In this study, we first used historical data to document changes in Orius (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) species assemblage and individual morphometric traits over the past seven decades in Israel. We then tested whether these changes could have been temperature driven by searching f...

The Japanese species of the heterogastrid genus Sadoletus Distant are revised taxonomically. Three species are recog-nized, including a new species, S. ryukyuensis sp. nov., which has been regarded so far as S. valdezi Bergroth in Japan. "True" S. valdezi is confirmed in Japan as well. A key to the Japanese species is provided.

Paravelia fanera sp. n. and Paravelia acantha sp. n. are described from the Andean region of Colombia. An identification key and distributional data for Colombian species are given.

The Neotropical fauna of saucer bugs (Naucoridae) currently includes four monotypic genera. Recent extensive collecting in Venezuela has produced three new species in two of these genera. In addition, undetermined Guyanan specimens of one of the new species were found in the United States National Museum of Natural History. Thus, described here are Placomerus obscuratus n. sp. from Guyana and V...

Macrotrachelianigronitens (Stål, 1860) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) is permanently present in the wild in Auckland (AK), New Zealand. It should therefore be added to the New Zealand Organisms Register (NZOR). It is a specialised predator of thrips inside leaf-roll galls. It has been present in New Zealand since at least the 1980s. Aspects of its biology, distribution, biosecurity status and hist...

A new micropterous flat bug genus, Longitergus n.gen. with the species productus n.sp. and similis n.sp. from Vietnam, is described. A key to related Oriental genera is given and the diagnostic morphological characters of the new genus and species are illustrated.

Two new species Proboscidopirates ericguilberti sp. nov. Baňař & Štys and Proboscidopirates rugulosus sp. nov. Baňař & Štys are described from central-east Madagascar. A list of Proboscidopirates species is given. Potential thelytoky of this endemic Madagascan genus, some of its generic and species-specific dignostic characters and its distribution relative to that of Oncylocotis Stål species a...
