Anisoscelis (Bitta) alipes Gu��rin-M��neville (Figs. 9���10, 23) Anisoscelis alipes Gu��rin-M��neville, 1831: 75. Anisoscelis flavolineatus Blanchard, 1849: 21, pl. 6. Nov. syn. Diagnosis. Head pale yellow; pronotum tricolored, with posterolateral and posterior border yellow, a narrow black transverse band between humeri, the rest pale to dark orange; scutellum black with lateral margins, middle longitudinal stripe and apex yellow; clavus and corium dark reddish brown to black with claval and corial veins, costal border and apical margin pale yellow; hemelytral membrane dark brown; connexivum dark brown to black, outer border yellow; dorsal abdominal segments dark brown, anterior border and irregular spots lateral to midline yellow; antennal segment I black, inner surface yellow, segments II���IV black; labial segments (apex of IV brown) pale yellowish orange; coxae pale yellow; trochanters pale yellow with two black longitudinal stripes; femora pale yellow with two complete black longitudinal stripes; fore and middle tibiae yellow with two complete longitudinal stripes; hind tibiae with inner expansion dark reddish with distal border black and proximal angle and middle fourth pale orange; outer expansion dark reddish with proximal and distal third dark to pale yellow and middle third with transverse dark to pale yellow stripe plus 5 to 8 irregular black spots; tarsi pale yellow. Labium nearly reaching posterior margin of abdominal sternite III; humeral angles subacute, directed backwards. Parameres. Figs. 9���10. Notes. Anisoscelis (Bitta) alipes Gu��rin-M��neville (1831) was described from M��xico without any specific locality and has been an enigma and several authors just mention the name on general papers or catalogues (Packauskas 2010). The species was nicely described and illustrated and is closely related to A. (Bitta) flavolineata Blanchard (1849) which was cited from Colombia, Panama and Venezuela and also nicely illustrated. Both species match on all characters including the posterior lobe of pronotum tricolored with posterolateral borders and posterior border yellow, a black transverse band between humeri,, and the rest dark orange; clavus and corium black with claval, corial veins, costal, apical margins and head dorsally yellow. Due to these strong similarities A. (B.) flavolineatus is here considered a junior synonym of A. (B.) alipes. Having examined and collected extensive Mexican material of Anisoscelis spp., in several localities, I have never found a single specimen of A. (Bitta) alipes, I therefore consider the original data being a result of a mistaken label. Distribution. Colombia: Bogot��, Cauca, and Nova Granada. M��xico (erroneous locality). Panama. Venezuela.

Biological notes. Collected on Passiflora spp. Diagnosis. This taxon is similar to Anisoscelis (Bitta) affinis Westwood and A. (B.) podalicus (Brailovsky and Mayorga) having the the posterior lobe of pronotal disk never tricolored, usually with the posterolateral borders and posterior border yellow and dorsal and ventral surface without metallic bluish-green reflections. In A. (B.) podalicus the femora are yellow with two complete dark brown longitudinal stripes and antennal segments II���II dark brown. In the other two species the antennal segments II���III are pale yellowish orange to castaneous orange. In A. (B.) affinis the femora are entirely yellowish orange, with claval and corial veins unicolorous with the reddish to dark orange surface; in A. (B.) luridus the femora are yellowish orange with short dark brown longitudinal stripe restricted to the anterior third, and the claval and corial veins are pale yellow, contrasting with the reddish castaneous surface., Published as part of Brailovsky, Harry, 2016, The genus Anisoscelis Latreille (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae: Coreinae: Anisoscelini): new species, taxonomical arrangements, distributional records and key, pp. 195-210 in Zootaxa 4144 (2) on pages 205-207, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4144.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/272052

Pronotum shallowy constricted, divided into two lobes by a tiny transverse impression; anterior lobe largest and wider; posterior lobe shorter and narrower; anterolateral margins evenly convex, broadest at level of calli; posterior margin straight; calli almost flat; anterior and humeral angles rounded (Fig 3���4). Mesosternum with deep median furrow; metathoracic scent gland auricle large, elongate, enlarged at distal end, ear-like, and moderately curving posteriorly; evaporative area transversally furrowed, not extending to upper margin of metapleuron (Fig 6). Legs. Fore coxal cavities intermediate between types A and B (Slater 1979, fig. 3), posteriorly open, separated by a simple narrow prosternal projection not entirely reaching the metasternum; all trochanters terminating into ventrodistal triangular subspinose dark axial projection adpreesed to the femora; fore femur moderately incrassate, armed below and distally with two spines, one large, robust and apically acute, the other one tiny and acute (Fig 5); middle and hind femora moderately incrassate, unarmed; fore tibiae slightly enlarged distally, not fossorial; inner face of each tibiae with two rows of tiny spines, irregularly distributed.

Combination of a personal name ���Barrera��� (Ernesto Barrera) with Blissus (type genus of the family Blissidae); gender masculine. Diagnosis. Barrerablissus gen. nov., is distinguished by having the dorsal surface of pronotum completely shining, and lacking of pruinose areas; ocelli present; fore coxal cavities open; mesosternum with deep median furrow; metathoracic scent gland auricle elongate, moderately curving posteriorly; fore femur ventrally armed with two spines, one large and robust, the other tiny and acute; inner face of each tibiae with two rows of tiny spines irregularly distributed; micropterous, with the wings reduced to a pair of minute, tumid pads; and abdominal sterna lacking a stridulitrum. This new genus is similar to Aulacoblissus Slater (1986), Heteroblissus Barber (1954), Howdenoblissus Stys (1991), Napoblissus Brailovsky and Barrera (2012) and Praetorblissus Slater (1966) in having extreme microptery to apterous condition and fore coxal cavities open. Barrerablissus gen. nov., share with Heteroblissus and Praetorblissus in having ocelli; absent in the other three genera. Praetorblissus is distinguished by having all femora miltispinose, and the metathoracic scent gland auricle large, apically almost spatulate, and distally curving anteriorly. In Barrerablissus the fore femora is armed with two spines, the unarmed middle and hind femora, and the metathoracic scent gland auricle is large, elongate, enlarged at distal end, and moderately curving posteriorly. Heteroblissus can be distinguished by the prominent stridulitrum on sterna III to VI, which are absent in Barrerablissus., Published as part of Brailovsky, Harry, 2015, A new genus and species of Micropterous Blissidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea) from Ecuador, pp. 583-588 in Zootaxa 4028 (4) on pages 583-584, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.4.9, http://zenodo.org/record/234703, {"references":["Slater, J.
