Reuteria serratis sp. n. (Fig. 2) Type Material: HOLOTYPE: Siirt: 13. VII. 2009, 1 male, I. ��zgen coll. & B. ��er��i det. (LEMT). Differential diagnosis: Combination of following characters differentiates this species from its congeners; background coloration green with white maculation, membranal cells white with green maculation, left paramere with a long lateral process which is straight, perpendicular to the body and bears a small dent directing downwards apically, right paramere V-shaped and bearing small denticules on both processes, vesica with two sclerotized processes as in Fig. 2 D���E. Description of male: Coloration: Background green, with white staining. Head pale green with four yellowish dots, antennae missing. Pronotum green, posterior lobe with three diffuse longitudinal pale stripes. Scutellum whitish with green lateral borders and green median stripe. Hemelytra green with white staining, membranal cells white with green staining. Legs missing. Vestiture: Setae are missing due to poor condition of the specimen. Structure: Length 3.6 mm, body oblong-ovate, 3.6 �� as long as width posterior margin of pronotum. Head transverse, ocular index 1.4. Antennae missing. Pronotum transverse, posterior margin 1.7 �� as wide as anterior margin, 2.3 �� as wide as long. Hemelytra parallel sided. Genital opening with sclerotized spine along left margin. Left paramere Y-shaped, lateral process forming almost 90 degrees angle with body of paramere, apically provided with small dent directed downwards (Fig. 2B). Right paramere V-shaped, lateral process closer to base, directed obliquely and bearing several denticules, apical process straight and bearing small denticules as well (Fig. 2C). Vesica with two processes as in Fig. 2 D���E. Female: Unknown. Etymology: The new species is named after the serrated (serratus in Latin) edges of its characteristically shaped vesical processes. Comments: The description of this new species is based on a single male specimen in bad condition (legs, antennae and most of membrane missing). Unfortunately, it was not possible to collect further specimens from the type locality. But still, the very characteristic shapes of parameres and vesical processes allow us to describe this specimen as a novel species. General coloration and structure of the species is very similar to R. riegeri torosensis ssp. n. and R. jordanica except for the dominant green coloration of dorsum which is less dominant in R. jordanica. But the V-shaped right paramere, unique left paramere and two uniquely shaped vesical processes easily distinguish this new species from both R. riegeri and R. jordanica, as well as the rest of the Reuteria species. R. jordanica, R. riegeri and R. serratis sp. n. differ from all other species of Reuteria by the more or less dominant green coloration and white maculation of dorsum, white membranal cells with green staining, immaculate antennal segments except a black dot on the ventral surface of first antennal segment (not known in R. serratis sp. n) and simpler paramere structure., Published as part of Bari��, ��er��i, Serdar, Tezcan & ��nan��, ��zgen, 2020, Review of Reuteria Puton, 1875 (Heteroptera: Miridae) species present in Lodos Entomological Museum, Turkey (LEMT), pp. 159-168 in Zootaxa 4878 (1) on pages 162-163, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4878.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4424814

Very similar to male in coloration, vestiture and structure but ocular index 2.6���3.0 and second antennal segment 1.3���1.6 �� as long as width of posterior margin of the pronotum. Host plant: Many of the specimens were collected from Quercus sp. Comment: R. winkelmanni was described from Antalya by G��nther & Strauss (2018) based on a well preserved single male specimen. They distinguished their new species from all other species of the genus mainly based on the unique shape of the parameres and the vesical processes. We examined 16 specimens collected from Antalya and Mersin which were previously identified as R. marqueti by Lodos et al. (2003). Our examination showed that all these specimens in fact belong to R. winkelmanni. We also had the chance to examine the previously undescribed female of R. winkelmanni. Females of Reuteria are very similar to males in most aspects, as expected, females of R. winkelmanni are very similar to males and differ from them in the small morphological ratios mentioned above., Published as part of Bari��, ��er��i, Serdar, Tezcan & ��nan��, ��zgen, 2020, Review of Reuteria Puton, 1875 (Heteroptera: Miridae) species present in Lodos Entomological Museum, Turkey (LEMT), pp. 159-168 in Zootaxa 4878 (1) on pages 163-164, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4878.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4424814, {"references":["Gunther, H. & Strauss, G.

Reuteria riegeri torosensis ssp. n. (Fig. 1) Type Material: HOLOTYPE: Mersin: G��lnar, 04. VII. 1986, 1 male, (on Quercus sp.) (LEMT); ALLOTYPE: Mersin: G��lnar, 04. VII. 1986, 1 female, (on Quercus sp.) (LEMT); PARATYPES: Mersin: G��lnar, 04. VII. 1986, 2 males, (on Quercus sp.) (LEMT); Kahramanmaraş: Nurhak Dağı, 22. VII. 1984, 2 males, (light trap) (LEMT); Gaziantep: Araban, 07. VI. 1985, 1 female (LEMT). Differential diagnosis: Combination of following characters differentiates this species from its congeners; background coloration green with white maculation, antennal segments immaculate except for a black dot on the ventral surface of first segment and a mostly inconspicuous black dot at the root of second antennal segment, ocular index of female 1.8���2.0, membranal cells white with green maculation, lateral process of left paramere with a sickle shaped apical dent (Fig. 1B), vesica with four sclerotized processes as in Fig. 1G. Description of male: Coloration: Ground coloration green, whitish maculated. Head green, turning into whitish yellow in dry specimens, four darker colored areas on vertex.Antennae unicolorous pale yellow except for black dot on ventral surface of first antennal segment and faint basal black dot on ventral surface of second antennal segment. Pronotum green, anterior lobe unicolorous, posterior lobe with three more or less strong longitudinal whitish stripes. Scutellum whitish with green lateral borders. Hemelytra with green ground coloration and white and dark green maculation, apices of exocorium and cuneus with minute dark green dot, membrane of hemelytra pale brown with two obscure large pale dots below membranal cells and at tip of the membrane, a short and narrow dark stripe along distal of external margin of main membranal cell, membranal cells with white ground coloration and green maculation. Legs pale green but yellow in dry specimens, immaculate. Abdomen green. Vestiture: General vestiture long, erect and pale. Head, pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra covered with long, erect and pale setae which are shorter on head and denser on hemelytra. First antennal segment with few long and erect pale setae, rest of antennae covered with short, adpressed and brown setae. Femora and tibiae with short, adpressed and brown setae, tibiae also bear sparse, long and erect pale spines which are longer than width of tibia. Structure: Length 3.4���3.6 mm, body oblong-ovate, 3.4 �� as long as width posterior margin of pronotum. Head transverse, 3.0 �� as wide as long, 0.6 �� as wide as width pronotum posterior margin, eyes rounded, ocular index 1.6���1.9. Antennae moderately long, first antennal segment 0.5 �� as long as diatone, second antennal segment 1.2 �� as long as width posterior margin of pronotum, ratios of antennal segments 11: 44: 20: 16. Pronotum trapezoid, 2.4 �� long as width of posterior margin, posterior margin 1.8 �� as wide as anterior margin, lateral borders and basal border straight. Hemelytra parallel sided, exceeding apex of abdomen. Genital opening with a sharp sclerotized spine along left margin. Left paramere with simple apical process and lateral process at median which is long and moderately bent along whole length and bears prominent sickle shaped dent apically (Fig. 1B). Right paramere elongated, bears numerous small dents on inner surface of apical half and very short lateral process protruding at median which also has few dents apically (Fig. 1 C���D). Vesica with four strongly sclerotized processes as in Fig. 1G (Note that one of branches of second vesical processes is missing in illustration of entire vesica, in order not to create confusion, a separate illustration showing intact second vesical processes is added separately, indicated with a straight line). But in specimens with weak coloration of dorsum, possibly teneral specimens, these processes may lack sclerotization and vesica may appear simple and lack of sclerotized processes as in Fig. 1H. Female: Very similar to male in all aspects, only ocular index is slightly greater, 1.8���2.0, and dark stripe along the external margin of membranal cell is lacking. Host plant: Quercus sp. Etymology: The holotype and allotype of this new subspecies was collected from Toros mountains in Southern Anatolia, therefore its name refers to its type locality. Comments: Reuteria riegeri riegeri was originally described from Lesbos Island, Greece. The holotype and paratypes were collected from Quercus macrolepis (Strauss & Simon 2014). According to Strauss & Simon (2014), R. riegeri riegeri differs from other species of this genus by the dominance of green coloration of dorsum, different coloration of antennal segments and distinctive parameres and vesica. Both R. serratis sp. n. and R. jordanica show a similar coloration pattern, but the former has remarkably different parameres & vesica and the latter is slightly bigger (3.9���4.2 mm), has a less dominant green coloration of dorsum and lacks sclerotized processes in vesica (Carapezza 2002). As discussed by Henry (1976), shape of parameres is a strong distinguishing character among the species of Reuteria and each species has very distinctive parameres. But in the case of R. riegeri and R. jordanica, both species have identical left paramere, and only slightly different right paramere. Even though both parameres of these two species are not strongly different, vesicas of them are; R. riegeri has four sclerotized processes in its vesica (Fig. 1 F���G) but R. jordanica lacks sclerotized processes in its vesica. Interestingly, among five male specimens of R. riegeri that we examined, two specimens had vesicas with such weakly sclerotized processes that they appeared almost deprived of sclerotized processes as in R. jordanica (Fig. 1H). As to the differences between the nominotypical subspecies and the subspecies torosensis ssp.n.; the lateral process of right paramere of R. riegeri riegeri is long and relatively slender (Fig. 1E), but it is invariably very short and thick in riegeri torosensis ssp. n., and right paramere is apically distinctly bifid in R. riegeri riegeri (Fig. 1E) but it is not apically bifid in three specimens of riegeri torosensis ssp. n. (Fig. 1C) and only a very scarcely separated small protrusion, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1D, can be seen in two of the specimens of riegeri torosensis ssp. n. and ocular index of male is 1.4���1.5 in riegeri riegeri but 1.6���1.9 in riegeri torosensis ssp. n. We consider these small differences as properties of geographically isolated subspecies (Map 1) of R. riegeri, and not two distinct species mainly because the vesical processes of our specimens are identical with that of the type material of R. riegeri riegeri (Fig. 1 F���G). ., Published as part of Bari��, ��er��i, Serdar, Tezcan & ��nan��, ��zgen, 2020, Review of Reuteria Puton, 1875 (Heteroptera: Miridae) species present in Lodos Entomological Museum, Turkey (LEMT), pp. 159-168 in Zootaxa 4878 (1) on pages 160-162, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4878.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4424814, {"references":["Strauss, G. & Simon, H.

Reuteria serratis sp. n. (Fig. 2) Type Material: HOLOTYPE: Siirt: 13. VII. 2009, 1 male, I. Özgen coll. & B. Çerçi det. (LEMT). Differential diagnosis: Combination of following characters differentiates this species from its congeners; background coloration green with white maculation, membranal cells white with green maculation, left paramere with a long lateral process which is straight, perpendicular to the body and bears a small dent directing downwards apically, right paramere V-shaped and bearing small denticules on both processes, vesica with two sclerotized processes as in Fig. 2 D–E.

Right paramere V-shaped, lateral process closer to base, directed obliquely and bearing several denticules, apical process straight and bearing small denticules as well (Fig. 2C). Vesica with two processes as in Fig. 2 D–E. Female: Unknown. Etymology: The new species is named after the serrated (serratus in Latin) edges of its characteristically shaped vesical processes. Comments: The description of this new species is based on a single male specimen in bad condition (legs, antennae and most of membrane missing).

General coloration and structure of the species is very similar to R. riegeri torosensis ssp. n. and R. jordanica except for the dominant green coloration of dorsum which is less dominant in R. jordanica. But the V-shaped right paramere, unique left paramere and two uniquely shaped vesical processes easily distinguish this new species from both R. riegeri and R. jordanica, as well as the rest of the Reuteria species. R. jordanica, R. riegeri and R. serratis sp. n. differ from all other species of Reuteria by the more or less dominant green coloration and white maculation of dorsum, white membranal cells with green staining, immaculate antennal segments except a black dot on the ventral surface of first antennal segment (not known in R. serratis sp. n) and simpler paramere structure.

Reuteria atalayi sp. n. (Fig. 4) Type Material: HOLOTYPE: Bursa: Doğanköy, 24. VII. 1977, 1 male (light trap) (LEMT); ALLOTYPE: İzmir: Ödemiş, 16. VIII. 1984, 1 female (on Castanea sp.) (LEMT); PARATYPES: Bursa: Doğanköy, 24. VII. 1977, 1 female (light trap) (LEMT); İzmir: Ödemiş, 16. VIII. 1984, 1 male (on Castanea sp.) (LEMT). Differential diagnosis: Combination of following characters differentiates this species from its congeners; background coloration whitish, with green maculation, clypeus protruding, first antennal segment with two black longitudinal stripes on opposite surfaces, second antennal segment with dark ring basally, pronotum small and 2.5 × as wide as long, posterior margin 2.5 × as wide as anterior one, left paramere with two lateral processes and apical process bent outwards, right paramere with very long lateral process which ends in pronounced hook, vesica with four sclerotized processes as in Fig. 4 E–L. Description of male: Coloration: Ground coloration whitish, with green maculation. Head pale, immaculate. First antennal segment pale yellow with two black longitudinal stripes on opposite surfaces, apically with narrow pale ring, second antennal segment with narrow pale ring at very base and black ring adjacent, rest of antennae immaculate. Pronotum pale yellow and immaculate in dry specimens. Scutellum whitish, immaculate. Hemelytra whitish with green staining, membrane pale brown, darker colored patch in middle area between tip of membrane and cuneus, narrow black stripe along distal external margin of membranal cells. Femora yellow with more or less distinct dark green longitudinal stripe along distal half of dorsal surface, tibiae with dark point at femoral joint and dark green longitudinal stripe in basal third. Vestiture: General vestiture short, semi-erect pale setae. Head, pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra covered with sparse short, semi-erect and pale setae. Antennae covered with very short, adpressed pale setae. Tibial spines pale. Structure: Length 3.7–4.0 mm, body elongate, 4.5 × as long as width posterior margin of pronotum. Head less transverse, 1.5 × as wide as long and 1.7 × as wide as width anterior margin of pronotum, clypeus protruding, ocular index 1.8. First antennal segment 0.5 × as long as diatone, second antennal segment 3.8 × as long as first one and 1.5 × as long as width posterior margin of pronotum, ratios of antennal segments 13: 50 (last two segments missing). Pronotum small and trapezoid, 2.5 × as wide as long, posterior margin 2.5 × as wide as anterior one. Hemelytra parallel sided, greatly exceeding length abdomen. Genital opening simple, body of right paramere L-shaped, with apical rounded process bent outwards and bears numerous small denticules, short and thick sub-basal lateral process rounded apically and bears small denticules and another short and thick middle lateral process which bears a few denticules apically and a large preapical spine directed basad. Left paramere with two apical processes and very long lateral process which gets narrower at middle and ends in hook. Vesica very complicated, consists of four processes with many branches as in Fig. 4 E–L. Female: Length 3.5–3.8 mm, very similar to male in coloration, vestiture and structure but body slightly less elongated, 4.2 × as long as width posterior margin of pronotum, ocular index larger, 2.5. Ratios of antennal segments 13: 50: 28 (last segment missing). Host plant: Specimens from Ödemiş, İzmir were collected from Castanea sp. Etymology: The name of this species is dedicated to Dr. Ruşen Atalay (1947-1994) who was one of the greatest Turkish entomologists and worked a lot to advance the science of entomology in Turkey and contributed greatly to the knowledge of Heteroptera fauna of Turkey and insect physiology. Comments: This new species differs from R. riegeri, R. serratis sp. n. and R. jordanica by its dominant whitish background coloration, two black longitudinal stripes on the first antennal segment, transparent membranal cells and more complicated paramere structure. R. atalayi sp. n. differs from all other species of Reuteria with whitish background coloration, two black longitudinal stripes on the first antennal segment and transparent membranal cells (including R. winkelmanni) by the unique shape of parameres (Fig. 4 B–D) and unique vesical processes (Fig. 4 E–L). It most possibly feeds on Castanea sp. Reuteria irrorata (Say 1832) in North America and R. castaneae in North Korea are known to feed on Castanea sp. but they are geographically very remote from this new species and have totally different genital structures (Henry 1976; Josifov, 1987). The specimens collected from Bursa were erroneously identified as R. marqueti by Önder et al. (1981). Reuteria marqueti Puton 1875 Previous records from Turkey: Asia minor (Wagner & Weber 1964); Bursa (Önder et al. 1981); Erzurum (Yıldırım et al. 1999; Yazıcı 2017); Antalya, Mersin (Lodos et al. 2003). Comments: Reuteria marqueti is known from most European countries. Although it occurs in western neighbors of Turkey, it is not known from any other Asian country (Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999; Aukema et al., 2013). As we mentioned above, previous records of R. marqueti from Antalya, Bursa and Mersin were based on specimens belonging to species yet undescribed at the time of recording. Specimens from Bursa proved to belong to R. atalayi sp. n. and specimens from Antalya and Mersin to R. winkelmanni. We could not examine the specimens reported from Turkey as R. marqueti by Wagner & Weber (1964), Yıldırım et al. (1999) and Yazıcı (2017) but it is likely that they too belong to one of the four Reuteria species dealt with in this paper or to other undescribed Reuteria species. Therefore, we consider the presence of Reuteria marqueti in Turkey as doubtful and encourage the specialists who have access to the material cited by Wagner & Weber (1964), Yıldırım et al. (1999) and Yazıcı (2017), to reexamine their specific identity.

Femora yellow with more or less distinct dark green longitudinal stripe along distal half of dorsal surface, tibiae with dark point at femoral joint and dark green longitudinal stripe in basal third. Vestiture: General vestiture short, semi-erect pale setae. Head, pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra covered with sparse short, semi-erect and pale setae. Antennae covered with very short, adpressed pale setae. Tibial spines pale. Structure: Length 3.7���4.0 mm, body elongate, 4.5 �� as long as width posterior margin of pronotum. Head less transverse, 1.5 �� as wide as long and 1.7 �� as wide as width anterior margin of pronotum, clypeus protruding, ocular index 1.8. First antennal segment 0.5 �� as long as diatone, second antennal segment 3.8 �� as long as first one and 1.5 �� as long as width posterior margin of pronotum, ratios of antennal segments 13: 50 (last two segments missing). Pronotum small and trapezoid, 2.5 �� as wide as long, posterior margin 2.5 �� as wide as anterior one. Hemelytra parallel sided, greatly exceeding length abdomen. Genital opening simple, body of right paramere L-shaped, with apical rounded process bent outwards and bears numerous small denticules, short and thick sub-basal lateral process rounded apically and bears small denticules and another short and thick middle lateral process which bears a few denticules apically and a large preapical spine directed basad. Left paramere with two apical processes and very long lateral process which gets narrower at middle and ends in hook. Vesica very complicated, consists of four processes with many branches as in Fig. 4 E���L. Female: Length 3.5���3.8 mm, very similar to male in coloration, vestiture and structure but body slightly less elongated, 4.2 �� as long as width posterior margin of pronotum, ocular index larger, 2.5. Ratios of antennal segments 13: 50: 28 (last segment missing). Host plant: Specimens from ��demiş, İzmir were collected from Castanea sp. Etymology: The name of this species is dedicated to Dr. Ruşen Atalay (1947-1994) who was one of the greatest Turkish entomologists and worked a lot to advance the science of entomology in Turkey and contributed greatly to the knowledge of Heteroptera fauna of Turkey and insect physiology. Comments: This new species differs from R. riegeri, R. serratis sp. n. and R. jordanica by its dominant whitish background coloration, two black longitudinal stripes on the first antennal segment, transparent membranal cells and more complicated paramere structure. R. atalayi sp. n. differs from all other species of Reuteria with whitish background coloration, two black longitudinal stripes on the first antennal segment and transparent membranal cells (including R. winkelmanni) by the unique shape of parameres (Fig. 4 B���D) and unique vesical processes (Fig. 4 E���L). It most possibly feeds on Castanea sp. Reuteria irrorata (Say 1832) in North America and R. castaneae in North Korea are known to feed on Castanea sp. but they are geographically very remote from this new species and have totally different genital structures (Henry 1976; Josifov, 1987). The specimens collected from Bursa were erroneously identified as R. marqueti by ��nder et al. (1981). Reuteria marqueti Puton 1875 Previous records from Turkey: Asia minor (Wagner & Weber 1964); Bursa (��nder et al. 1981); Erzurum (Yıldırım et al. 1999; Yazıcı 2017); Antalya, Mersin (Lodos et al. 2003). Comments: Reuteria marqueti is known from most European countries. Although it occurs in western neighbors of Turkey, it is not known from any other Asian country (Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999; Aukema et al., 2013). As we mentioned above, previous records of R. marqueti from Antalya, Bursa and Mersin were based on specimens belonging to species yet undescribed at the time of recording. Specimens from Bursa proved to belong to R. atalayi sp. n. and specimens from Antalya and Mersin to R. winkelmanni. We could not examine the specimens reported from Turkey as R. marqueti by Wagner & Weber (1964), Yıldırım et al. (1999) and Yazıcı (2017) but it is likely that they too belong to one of the four Reuteria species dealt with in this paper or to other undescribed Reuteria species. Therefore, we consider the presence of Reuteria marqueti in Turkey as doubtful and encourage the specialists who have access to the material cited by Wagner & Weber (1964), Yıldırım et al. (1999) and Yazıcı (2017), to reexamine their specific identity., Published as part of Bari��, ��er��i, Serdar, Tezcan & ��nan��, ��zgen, 2020, Review of Reuteria Puton, 1875 (Heteroptera: Miridae) species present in Lodos Entomological Museum, Turkey (LEMT), pp. 159-168 in Zootaxa 4878 (1) on pages 165-166, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4878.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4424814, {"references":["Say, T.
