After the publication of these 55 papers, many more species were recorded from Turkey, mainly by Wagner, (1959, 1966), 56 Seidenstücker (1957, 1958, 1960), Linnavuori (1965), Tuatay et al. (1972), Önder (1976, 57 1982), Lodos & Önder (1978a, 1978b, 1980, 1982, 1983a, 1983b), Önder et al. (1981, 1984, 58 1995a, 1995b), Lodos et al.

In addition, new species from 60 Turkey were published in several other papers, which were reviewed by Dursun & Fent 61 (2017). Aukema & Rieger (1995, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2006) and Aukema et al. (2013) 62 summarized known distributions of all the Heteroptera species known from the Palearctic Zoology 63 Region, hence they also considered all the Heteroptera species recorded from Turkey up to the of 64 publication of each volume. They regarded records of several species from Turkey as proofing 65 doubtful. Some of these species had been recorded by Önder (1976), Erbay (1986), Boz Journal 66 (1992) and Lodos et al. (2003). Specimens referreduntil to in these papers are deposited in Lodos 67 Entomological Museum (LEMT) and we could examine many of them. paper 68 In recent years, many Heteroptera species were either recorded or described from Turkey for 69 the first time. Papers recording new Heteroptera species from Turkey, published after 2014, 70 and papers describingNorth-western new species from Turkey, published in the 21st century, were cited by Accepted 71 Çerçi et al.

The number of new species recorded from Turkey since 2014 is 65 and the 72 number of new species described from Turkey since 2000 is 33. 73 74 Material and Methods 75 Material examined in this study is preserved in LEMT, except Amphiareus constrictus (Stål, 76 1860) and Dicyphus (Dicyphus) josifovi Rieger, 1995, which were collected in June 2020 and 77 are preserved in the private collection of the first author.

    A New Species of Isometopus from Iran (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Isometopinae)

Box: 41635-1314; e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. A new species, Isometopus (Isometopus) linnavuorii sp. nov., is descri- bed from Iran. Illustrations of male genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of male habitus and other selected characters of this new taxon are provided. The diagnosis of the new species is based on a comparison with other congeneric from the Middle East and Europe. The type specimens were deposited in the in- sect collection of the University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran. Isometopus (Isometopus) kaznakovi Kiritshenko, 1939 and Isometopus (Isometopus) mirifi cus Mulsant & Rey, 1879 are excluded from the fauna of Iran. The gender agreement is corrected in the name Isometopus praetermissus Akingbohungbe, 2012. Key words. Heteroptera, Miridae, Isometopinae, new species, taxonomy, Guilan province, Iran, Palaearctic Region Introduction The subfamily Isometopinae is a group of generally small, strongly cryptic plant bugs with worldwide distribution (KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999, SCHUH 2013, CASSIS & SCHUH 2012). The members of this subfamily have paired ocelli between the compound eyes, which easily distinguishes them from other mirid subfamilies. The bugs appear to be generalist predators of soft-bodied insects, such as aphids and scale insects, inhabiting trunks, bark or branches of various broadleaved trees (HESSE 1947, WHEELER & HENRY 1978).

This brings the total number of species known to date from Canary Islands to 333.

De este acervo hay que entresacar 29 especies para incorporar a la fauna canaria, con relación a lar 3 13 inventariadas, pero una es una sinonimia (Geocoris pvbescem lak. = G.rimidus Put.) y 8 especies más se consideran dudosas, por lo que se eliminan de la lista, quedando pues un total de 333 especies que se estiman válidas.

Rider Chair Dr. Allan C. Ashworth Dr. Mark Boetel Dr. Rebecca Simmons Approved: 07-13-2017 Frank Casey Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The Pentatominae tribe Aeptini is revised. A key to the known genera is provided, together with redescription and figures. The genus Paramenestheus is revised, including a key to the species and figures to all the included taxa. Two new genera and eight new species are discovered and described. A phylogenetic analysis is included for the Aeptini, with two approaches, cladistic and maximum likelihood, both morphologically based. After these analysis it is concluded that it is a monophyletic tribe and has to be split into two subtribes: Aeptina (including Aeptus and Eribotes) and Menesthina (including Aeliosoma, Hillieria, Menestheus, Paramenestheus, Pseudaelia, New Genus 1, New Genus 2.). Diagnoses for both subtribes are included. Biogeographically it is hypothesized that the Aeptini have a Gondwanian origin which explains it current disjunct distribution in Africa and Australia. The importance of the findings on this dissertation, as well as the relationships among Aeptini and other Pentatominae groups is commented and disccused.

In systematic review a total of eighty four species in twenty eight genera of Phylines are recognized from the Korean Peninsula. During this study, twenty new reports including six new species were investigated; and purposed a synonym and revised recombination. Keys to genera and species, diagnosis, descriptions including male and female genitalia, illustrations and short biological notes are provided for each of the species.

    A Comparison of the External Morphology and Functions of Labial Tip Sensilla in Semiaquatic Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha)

Heteroptera, Gerromorpha, labial tip sensilla, pattern, morphology, function, apomorphic characters Abstract. The present study provides new data on the morphology and distribution of the labial tip sensilla of 41 species of 20 gerro- morphan (sub)families (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) obtained using a scanning electron microscope. There are eleven morphologically distinct types of sensilla on the tip of the labium: four types of basiconic uniporous sensilla, two types of plate sensilla, one type of peg uniporous sensilla, peg-in-pit sensilla, dome-shaped sensilla, placoid multiporous sensilla and elongated placoid multiporous sub- apical sensilla. Based on their external structure, it is likely that these sensilla are thermo-hygrosensitive, chemosensitive and mechano- chemosensitive. There are three different designs of sensilla in the Gerromorpha: the basic design occurs in Mesoveliidae and Hebridae; the intermediate one is typical of Hydrometridae and Hermatobatidae, and the most specialized design in Macroveliidae, Veliidae and Gerridae. No new synapomorphies for Gerromorpha were identified in terms of the labial tip sensilla, multi-peg structures and shape of the labial tip, but eleven new diagnostic characters are recorded for clades currently recognized in this infraorder.

[Psallus albicinctus (Kirschbaum, 1856) and P. pseudoplatani Reichling, 1984 (Heteroptera: Miridae: Phylinae) - the second localities in Poland]. The genus Psallus Fieber, 1858 is represented in the Palaearctic Region by more than 120 species, and is regarded as a non-monophyletic taxon. Species in this genus are usually small; their body length not exceeds 6.0 mm, and never are green (a body colour is from black to brown, red and yellow). They are zoophytophagous, and most of them overwinter in the egg stage and are univoltine. 23 species of the genus have been reported from Poland so far. This note pre- sents the second localities for two Psallus species, i.e., Psallus albicinctus and P. pseudoplatani in Poland, both from the Western Beskid Mts.
