“…Saicinae comprises 23 genera and more than 140 species worldwide (Gil-Santana & Marques 2005;Gil-Santana et al 2006;Maldonado 1990;Melo & Coscarón 2005;Putshkov & Putshkov 1985) with 10 genera described for the New World (Gil-Santana 2011; Gil-Santana et al 2010). The group is closely related to Emesinae and Visayanocorinae (Hwang & Weirauch 2012;Weirauch & Munro 2009).…”

Tagalis Stål is recorded for the first time from Colombia and two species are described as new: Tagalis dichroa sp. nov., from Acandí (Chocó), and Tagalis albispina sp. nov., from Gorgona Island (Cauca). Based on the structure of the male genitalia of the known species, we here propose at least four species groups within Tagalis: 1) T. evavilmae, 2) T. femorata, 3) T. baenai, T. grossii, and T. marquesi, and 4) T. dichroa sp. nov., T. inornata, and T. seminigra. Tagalis albispina sp. nov. known only from the female holotype, cannot be placed into this scheme. Digital micrographs of the habitus and genitalia of the new species are provided. An updated key to the species of Tagalis is presented to facilitate the identification of the new species.

“…This condition is visible on three regions of the phallus: the dorsal and ventral phallothecal sclerites, and the endosomal sclerites; and they could be the three of them asymmetric or only one (usually the ventral phallotecal sclerite) (Figure 1). Saicinae comprises 25 genera and 159 species worldwide (Castro-Huertas et al, 2023;Gil-Santana & Marques, 2005;Maldonado Capriles, 1990;Melo & Coscarón, 2005;Putshkov & Putshkov, 1985).

Despite genital structures in insects being consistently important as systematic and taxonomy evidence, within assassin bugs (Heteroptera, Reduviidae) at least, the male and female genitalic structures of several subfamilies are poorly or totally unknown. The genital structure is mostly symmetric within Saicinae genera, but male genital asymmetry has been recorded in Gallobelgicus, Polytoxus, and recently Pseudosaica. The subfamily has been considered as closely related to Emesinae and Visayanocorinae but this hypothesis has never been tested using a comprehensive taxa sampling, being a constraint to test morphological traits changes or exploring characters' evolution hypotheses. Here, we compiled a morphological data set of 170 characters that includes external morphological characters and genitalia of both sexes of Saicinae which was analyzed cladistically including 55 terminals, comprising 16 genera (64% of the generic diversity), 43 species of Saicinae and 12 outgroups. Saicinae was recovered as polyphyletic, Saicireta correntina is recovered as sister‐species of Empicoris armatus + Collartida (Emesinae), Oncerotrachelus, Carayonia (Visayanocorinae), and the Clade Saicinae sensu stricto. Carayonia orientalis is recovered as sister‐species of Saicinae sensu stricto. Ancestral state reconstruction of symmetry of the male genitalia shows an ancestor with symmetric male genitalia, two independent emergences of asymmetrical male genitalia within Saicinae sensu stricto, and the asymmetrical endosomal sclerites appearing before the other asymmetric traits.
