Abstract

A recent survey of the entomofauna of the Davis Mountains in the state of Texas has revealed four new species in the genus Phytocoris Fallén (Miridae, Mirinae, Mirini): Phytocoris mcivorsp. nov. and Phytocoris schmitzisp. nov. found on Quercus grisea Liebmann, and Phytocoris marquasp. nov. and Phytocoris rileyisp. nov. found attracted to lights. Descriptions, habitus, and genitalic images for the new species are included herein. Further, habitus and genitalic photographs of known Phytocoris species from the county are included to aid in identification.
