Neotropical leaf-footed bugs (Hemiptera, Coreidae): new taxa, synonym and distributional notes

Abstract

During the review of biological collections and explorations to catalog the diversity of Coreidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Colombia, specimens were found that could not be associated with previously described taxa. Here they are illustrated and described. The species El grajo gen. et sp. nov. is placed on the tribe Hypselonotini (Coreinae), while Anorcophthia dysdercoides gen. et sp. nov. and Leptoglossus pseudoalatus sp. nov. are placed within the tribe Anisoscelini (Coreinae). Leptoscelis obscura Dallas, 1852 is synonymized with Phthiacnemia picta (Drury, 1773); and the type locality of Acidomeria dentipes (Blöte, 1935) is clarified.
