“…Based on the taxonomic revision of Carvalhomiris (Forero 2009) and the documentation of the new species described herein, morphological characters were proposed and coded to build a matrix with 45 characters (Appendix 1, Suppl. material 1).…”

“…This new species represents the northernmost distribution of the genus and highlights the wide distributional gap among the known species. Additionally, the discovery of this new species allows the putative synapomorphies for Carvalhomiris proposed by Forero (2009) to be tested. Therefore, we describe this new species of Carvalhomiris , propose the first phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus, and evaluate the phylogenetic position of the new species with respect to previously described species.…”

“…Within this tribe, Schuh (1974) recognized several informal generic groupings, one of which is the Zanchius group, which includes Carvalhomiris Maldonado & Ferreira, 1971 (Forero 2009). The generic composition of the Zanchius group has varied through time (Schuh 1974, Henry 1995, Forero 2009), but a phylogenetic analysis for the group is not yet available.…”

“…Carvalhomiris is characterized by an overall pale yellow coloration with greenish areas, usually strong brachypterism in both sexes, and eyes removed from the anterior margin of the pronotum (Maldonado and Ferreira 1971, Forero 2009). The genus has three described species: C.brachypterus Maldonado & Ferreira, 1971 and C.truncatus Forero, 2009, from three localities in Colombia on the Eastern Cordillera, and C.bifurcatus Forero, 2009, from a locality in Ecuador on the eastern flank of the Andes.…”

Plant bugs, species of Miridae (Heteroptera), are not well known in the Neotropics, and Colombia is not an exception. Based on data from the available systematic catalog (Schuh 2002–2013) fewer than 150 species are recorded from the country, clearly an underestimation. Recent fieldwork has resulted in several new interesting taxa from Colombia. Carvalhomiris Maldonado & Ferreira, 1971, contains three described species from Colombia and Ecuador. From specimens collected in Jardín, Antioquia, Carvalhomirishenryisp. n. is described. Images of the dorsal habitus and the male and female genitalia are provided. Based on morphological examination of the new species and published information, morphological characters were coded to construct a phylogenetic matrix for a cladistic analysis in which the phylogenetic position of the new species is assessed. Carvalhomirishenryisp. n. is the northernmost species of the genus and noteworthy because it is the first record of any species of the genus in the Western Cordillera: all other species are known from the eastern flank of the Andes (Ecuador) or the Eastern Cordillera (Colombia). Natural history observations of the new species, including associations with composites (Asteraceae) are provided. It is speculated that the mirid might be predacious.

Taxonomic data on Coreidae have been fragmented over time and need to be revised. Likewise, data related to the development of germ cells and the features of the male reproductive system, including sperm, will contribute to understanding the biological mechanisms of reproduction and the systematics of its representatives. Aiming to provide these data, we describe the morphology of the male reproductive system and spermatozoa of Leptoglossus zonatus using light and transmission electron microscopies, respectively. Each of the two testes is surrounded by a bright red‐pigmented sheath and formed by seven follicles arranged side by side. The two vasa deferentia are filled with individualized sperm, especially in their final portion, which is dilated and curved. After dilation, the vasa deferentia receive the ducts of the accessory glands of mesodermal origin. The other unpaired accessory gland is of ectodermal origin and opens into the ejaculatory duct. Both glandular types are densely coiled and have lumens filled with secreted material. Testicular follicles contain cysts with germ cells at different stages of spermatogenesis, indicating continuous production of gametes throughout adult life. Mature sperm measure around 310 μm long, with a nucleus of 36 μm and a flagellum formed only by an axoneme of 9 + 9 + 2 microtubules and two symmetrical mitochondrial derivatives. Like the sperm of other Heteroptera, the acrosome has a single structure (without perforatorium), there are no accessory bodies in the flagella, and the mitochondrial derivatives are connected to the axonemes, supporting the synapomorphic condition of these characteristics for this suborder of bedbugs.Research Highlights The Leptoglossus zonatus sperm are slender and long, about 310 μm in length, and a nucleus 36 μm long. Spermatogenesis occurs throughout adult life and equally in the seven testicular follicles. The centriole adjunct in L. zonatus sperm does not give rise to accessory bodies. The ectodermal gland produces a filamentous secretion, whereas in the ectodermal sac, the secretion is globular.

Filicicapsus smaragdus gen. et sp. nov. (Orthotylinae) is described from the Biak Island, Papua Province of Indonesia. The position of the new taxon has been tested using Bayesian and IQ‐TREE analyses based on the sequences of four fragments of mitochondrial (COI, 16S) and nuclear (18S, 28S) DNA. The taxonomic position of the new genus within the Zanchius genus group is discussed. Also provided are a diagnosis, photographs of habitus and selected structures, illustrations of male and female genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of diagnostic characters, and host information.
