Abstract
Schizoptera Fieber is a monophyletic and the largest genus of minute litter bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Dipsocoromorpha). Its current concept is supported by a recent molecular phylogeny and comprises nearly 90 described extant and two fossil species divided into four subgenera: Schizoptera (Cantharocoris), Schizoptera (Odontorhagus), Schizoptera (Schizoptera) and Schizoptera (Zygophleps). We here taxonomically revise the subgenus Schizoptera (Zygophleps), which so far contains Schizoptera unica McAtee & Malloch, 1925 from Guatemala and Schizoptera corallia Emsley, 1969, Schizoptera simla Emsley, 1969, and Schizoptera ultima Emsley, 1969 from Trinidad. The subgenus is diagnosed by the unique triangular shape of the posterior membranal cell. The following 36 species are here described: Schizoptera aculeata
sp.n., Schizoptera applanata
sp.n., Schizoptera bella
sp.n., Schizoptera biancae
sp.n., Schizoptera cassiae
sp.n., Schizoptera confusa
sp.n., Schizoptera costarriquenha
sp.n., Schizoptera cuspida
sp.n., Schizoptera ecuadoriana
sp.n., Schizoptera elegantissima
sp.n., Schizoptera emsleyi
sp.n., Schizoptera erosa
sp.n., Schizoptera erwini
sp.n., Schizoptera falcata
sp.n., Schizoptera familia
sp.n., Schizoptera furcata
sp.n., Schizoptera fuscodorsata
sp.n., Schizoptera hirsuta
sp.n., Schizoptera inaequalis
sp.n., Schizoptera inca
sp.n., Schizoptera kayi
sp.n., Schizoptera knyshovi
sp.n., Schizoptera magnifica
sp.n., Schizoptera mallochi
sp.n., Schizoptera mcateei
sp.n., Schizoptera orellanensis
sp.n., Schizoptera paraensis
sp.n., Schizoptera peruviana
sp.n., Schizoptera pichincha
sp.n., Schizoptera pinduca
sp.n., Schizoptera prima
sp.n., Schizoptera priva
sp.n., Schizoptera ramosa
sp.n., Schizoptera solitaria
sp.n., Schizoptera speira
sp.n., and Schizoptera stricta
sp.n. The majority of species herein described were collected in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, expanding the known distribution of the subgenus. We provide diagnoses, descriptions, photographs of habitus and subgenital plates, line drawings of diagnostic male genitalic features, and a distribution map. A key to species based on males is also presented.
期刊介绍:
Insect Systematics & Evolution (ISE) publishes original papers on all aspects of systematic entomology and the evolutionary history of both extant and extinct insects and related groups. Priority is given to taxonomic revisions and phylogenetic studies employing morphological and molecular data. ISE also welcomes reviews and syntheses that can appeal to a wide community of systematic entomologists. Single species descriptions, regional checklists, and phylogenetic studies based on few taxa or single molecular markers will generally not be accepted.
