The genus Stenoscelidea Westwood, 1842 (Coreidae: Coreinae: Stenoscelideini) from Ecuador is revised and two new species are described. Stenoscelidea blotei Brailovsky and Barrera, 1996, and S. hilaris Breddin, 1903, are recorded for the first time in Ecuador. A key to the known species is presented. Photographs of the habitus and the unique coloration of the dorsal abdominal segments of these species are presented as well as the parameres of most of them. Notes on the biology of some species are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A panbiogeographic analysis was carried out to analyze the geographical distribution of the Mexican species of Pselliopus Bergroth. The genus contains 27 species, ranged from Canada to Argentina. Mexico is the country with the highest number of species (21), followed by the United States of America (6), and Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Brazil (2). One generalized tracks was recognized, comprising the Sierra Madre Occidental, the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexican Pacific Coast, Mexican Gulf, Balsas Basin, Transmexican Volcanic Belt, Sierra Madre del Sur, and Chiapas. It is concluded that the species of Pselliopus are distributed mainly in the Mexican Transition Zone (MTZ) and the Neotropical region, and belong to the Tropical Mesoamerican element.
