“…Besides differences in coloration between the two species, the structural differences already recorded in the diagnosis provided above, give more support to the validity of the new species. This set of differential characteristics is in accordance to previous concepts and observations about the taxonomic value of morphological characteristics among species of Zelurus (e.g., Stål 1859Stål , 1869Stål , 1872Costa Lima 1940;Lent and Wygodzinsky 1945, 1951, 1955, 1957.

“…The paratype and the male from Bolivia (Figs. 1-3, 5) agree well with the original description (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1951). Lent and Wygodzinsky (1955) briefly stated that the differences between Z. abalosi and Z. montivagus were the following: interocular distance, size of eyes, apical process of scutellum longer in relation to those of pronotum, absence of abdominal denticle and coloration of hemelytra.…”

“…nov., was considered by Lent and Wygodzinsky (1955) as proximate to Z. abalosi, the latter was included in this study for a more thorough comparison. Zelurus abalosi was described based on 12 type specimens (9 males and 3 females) from Argentina (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1951), without further records so far (Maldonado 1990). Photographs of a male paratype deposited in CTIOC are presented here (Figs.…”

Zelurus galvaoi sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Reduviinae) is described from Peru, based on a male and a female specimens. Photographs of type specimens and short notes on the characteristics of Zelurus montivagus Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1955, Zelurus abalosi Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1951 and Zelurus singularis Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1947, related to the new species, are presented. Zelurus abalosi is recorded from Bolivia for the first time.

An inventory of aquatic and terrestrial Heteroptera (excluding Aradidae, Coreidae and Pentatomoidea), comprising 101 species in 23 families, collected in the Chaco National Park (NE Argentina) is presented. . Fifty species are new records to the Argentinean Chaco province, and six species represent new records to Argentina: Cryphula affinis (Distant), Valtissius distinctus (Distant) (Rhyparochromidae), Stenopoda subinermis Stål, Diaditus pilosicornis Bergroth (Reduviidae), Buenoa uhleri Truxal (Notonectidae), and Paravelia splendoris (Drake & Harris) (Veliidae).
The monotypic genus Horciniella Miller, 1958 is considered a junior synonym of Archilestidium Breddin, 1900 (new synonymy), resulting in the following taxonomic change for its type species: Archilestidium variabile (Miller, 1958) (new combination). The evidence supporting this conclusion and the new composition of the genus are discussed at length. Updated keys to the reduviine genera of Australia and the Australian species of Horcinia Stål, 1874 are included. Habitus images as well as a new distributional record are provided for several Australian reduviines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
