Abstract

Cylapinae is one of the poorly studied groups within the megadiverse family Miridae (Insecta: Heteroptera). In this paper, five monotypic genera from Australia are described as new to science. Two of those taxa,Dariella rubrocuneatagen. nov.andsp. nov., andLabriella fuscagen. nov.andsp. nov.are assigned to the tribe Cylapini. Three taxa,Callitropisca florentinegen. nov.andsp. nov.,Laetifulvius morganensisgen. nov.andsp. nov.andMicanitropis seisiagen. nov.andsp. nov.are placed into the tribe Fulviini. Habitus images, SEMs of external characters, illustrations of male and female genitalia, and distribution maps are provided for each species where possible. The systematic position and possible relationships of the newly described taxa are discussed.
