Description of Eight New Species and Redescription of Known Species of Eccritotarsini of the Neella-Neoneella Complex (Heteroptera: Miridae: Bryocorinae)

Abstract

Eccritotarsini is the most diverse tribe of Bryocorinae, characterized by remarkable morphological heterogeneity andhighly variable general appearance, including the structure of male genitalia. Based on the results of a recent phylogeneticanalysis, which proposed new combinations and new genera, this contribution provides diagnoses and redescriptionsof the species included in the following genera: Adneella Carvalho, 960; Globicephalomiris Minghetti, Montemayor,and Dellapé, 2025; Laterocavocoris Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025; Lelena Minghetti, Montemayor, andDellapé, 2025; Naelle Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025; Neella Reuter, 908; Neoneella Costa Lima, 942;Proneella Carvalho, 960; and Puncticollus Minghetti, Montemayor, and Dellapé, 2025. Additionally, the following newspecies are diagnosed and described: Adneella tricolorata new species, Laterocavocoris pallida new species, Naelleyasuni new species, Neella dichroa new species, Neella majuscula new species, Neella nigricans new species, Neellapallidula new species, and Puncticollus tiputini new species.
