“…The genus Euschistus Dallas, 1851 includes 67 species restricted to the New World, from United States to Argentina and Uruguay (Grazia et al 2015;Bianchi et al 2017). Euschistus taurulus is broadly distributed in South America, from Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, southward to Uruguay and Argentina (Dellapé et al 2015;Hickmann et al 2019).…”

The subfamily Pentatominae is the most diverse within Pentatomidae, with about 120 genera and 680 species recorded in the Neotropics. The genera Euschistus Dallas, 1851 and Glyphepomis Berg, 1891 and the species Banasa dolabrata Thomas, 1988, B. peruana Thomas, 1990, B. testacea Thomas, 1990, Glyphepomis setigera Kormilev & Pirán, 1952, and Euschistus taurulus Berg, 1878 are recorded for the first time in Paraguay; and two monotypic genera, Berecynthus Stål, 1862 and Nocheta Rolston, 1980, are recorded for the first time in Bolivia and Ecuador, respectively. These new records increase the known country level diversity of Pentatominae in the Neotropics.

Ambush bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Phymatinae) are sit‐and‐wait predators of flower‐visiting insects including pollinators. Broad species distribution ranges, intraspecific polymorphism, sexual dimorphism and subtle interspecific differences all contribute to making species delimitation especially difficult in this group, which is used as a model in the study of interactions between sexual dimorphism and sexual selection. Species boundaries among Nearctic ambush bugs in the common and frequently collected erosa species group (11 species, nine subspecies) have therefore remained unclear, resulting in a complex and poorly justified taxonomy. Recent molecular phylogenetic research suggested that several widespread Nearctic species are para‐ or polyphyletic. We here build on this research, integrating geometric morphometrics, molecular species delimitation approaches and host plant association data to provide a comprehensive dataset with respect to both taxon and character sampling with the goal of teasing apart evolutionary lineages of Nearctic Phymata Latreille. Although molecular‐based species delimitation analyses suggested a variety of species hypotheses, probably as a result of striking discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal genes, the combination of these with geometric morphometric data enabled us to confidently delimit several of these problematic taxa. In addition, geometric morphometric analysis of pronotal shape revealed undocumented morphological patterns that appear to be useful in the diagnosis of many of the surveyed taxa. The results from this study provide an objective foundation for the much‐needed taxonomic revision of the most ubiquitous ambush bugs in North America.
