DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRST RECENT MACROPTEROUS SPECIES OF VIANAIDINAE (HETEROPTERA: TINGIDAE) WITH COMMENTS ON THE PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE FAMILY WITHIN THE CIMICOMORPHA

Abstract

The morphology of a macropterous form of Anommatocoris China is described for the first time, based on Anommatocoris bolivianus, new species. Scanning micrographs and line art are provided for most aspects of external morphology; comparative illustrations are provided for members of the tingid subfamilies Cantacaderinae and Tinginae. Characters establishing the relationships of the Vianaidinae with other groups of the Miroidea sensu Schuh and Stys, 1991 are analyzed phylogenetically and discussed.
