Description of Eight New Species and Redescription of Known Species of Eccritotarsini of the Neella-Neoneella Complex (Heteroptera: Miridae: Bryocorinae)
Abstract
Eccritotarsini is the most diverse tribe of Bryocorinae, characterized by remarkable morphological heterogeneity and highly variable general appearance, including the structure of male genitalia. Based on the results of a recent phylogenetic analysis, which proposed new combinations and new genera, this contribution provides diagnoses and redescriptions of the species included in the following genera: Adneella Carvalho, 1960; Globicephalomiris Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025; Laterocavocoris Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025; Lelena Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025; Naelle Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025; Neella Reuter, 1908; Neoneella Costa Lima, 1942; Proneella Carvalho, 1960; and Puncticollus Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025. Additionally, the following new species are diagnosed and described: Adneella tricolorata new species, Laterocavocoris pallida new species, Naelle yasuni new species, Neella dichroa new species, Neella majuscula new species, Neella nigricans new species, Neella pallidula new species, and Puncticollus tiputini new species.
