A Remarkable new Mirine Plant Bug genus (Heteroptera, Miridae: Mirini) from Australia and New Guinea, with description of two new species

Abstract

The new genus, Neopeplus, is proposed to accommodate two remarkable new mirine plant bug species, N. trianai, from Australia and N. dogoni, from New Guinea. External anatomy and genital structures of both sexes of N. trianai and of N. dogoni male are described. The possible phyletic relationships of the new genus are briefly analysed. © 2003 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
