Abstract

A nymph of Thaumamannia Drake & Davis, 1960, a rare vianaidine genus known only from adults, is described by the first time. The specimens were collected in the soil and walls of caves located in the state of Pará, Brazil. This is the first record of Vianaidinae for Brazil. The T. vanderdrifti fifth instar is compared with the same stadium of Anommatocoris coleopteratus (Kormilev, 1955), the only other vianaidine nymph described so far, and patterns between them and within the family are also discussed.Uma ninfa de Thaumamannia Drake & Davis, 1960, um raro gênero vianaidíneo conhecido somente pelos adultos, é descrita pela primeira vez. Os espécimes foram coletados no solo e em paredes de cavernas localizadas no Estado do Pará, Brasil. Este é o primeiro registro da subfamília para o Brasil. Esta ninfa, de quinto instar, é comparada com o mesmo instar de Anommatocoris coleopteratus (Kormilev, 1955), até então a única conhecida de Vianaidinae, e os padrões entre ambas as espécies e dentro da família são também discutidos.
