A new genus, Pseudotheraptus, is described for a Coreid bug, Ps. wayi, sp. n., Causing early nutfall of coconuts in East Africa. Two other species, Ps. devastans (Dist.) and Ps. ugandae, sp. n., are placed in this genus, with descriptions and a key for determination of the three species.The taxonomic relation of Pseudotheraptus to other genera is discussed, with particular reference to Theraptus, in which the species now described as Ps. wayi was formerly placed provisionally, and to Amblypelta, of which one species (A. cocophaga China) is the cause of identical damage to coconuts in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate.A key is given for the determination of the two species now remaining in the genus Theraptus.

The genus Phasmotaenia Navás, 1907 (type-species: Taeniosoma sanchezi Bolívar, 1897) is currently known only from the Philippine Islands and Taiwan, but here shown to extend eastwards as far as to the Solomon Islands, Northern New Guinea and even Fiji. A taxonomic review of the genus, and updated keys to the species are presented. The type-species of Phasmotaenia Navás, 1907, P. sanchezi (Bolívar, 1897) from Luzon, Philippines is shown to have been misinterpreted by previous authors. This has resulted in the description of the here revealed junior synonym Phasmotaenia elongata Zompro & Eusebio, 2000 (n. syn.). A survey of the intraspecific variation of P. sanchezi (Bolívar, 1897) is provided along with illustrations of the holotype. Phasmotaenia australe (Günther, 1933) from the Solomon Islands is removed from synonymy with Phasmotaenia godeffroyi (Redtenbacher, 1908) n. comb. from Micronesia and shown to be a distinct and valid species (rev. stat.). Both species are transferred to Phasmotaenia Navás, 1907. Examination of the paratypes of P. australe (Günther, 1933) has revealed these to represent two different species distinct from the holotype, one of which is described as new herein (P. guentheri n. sp.). The male of P. australe is

Abstract In this study, we present a taxonomic review of a rarely collected subfamily of lace bugs (Vianaidinae: Tingidae: Heteroptera), including the description of nine new species and one new genus, and a phylogenetic analysis targeting its internal relationships. Anommatocoris araguanus sp. nov., A. knudsoni sp. nov., A. schuhi sp. nov., A. serratus sp. nov., A. sucreanus sp. nov., Thaumamannia insolita sp. nov. and T. urucuana sp. nov. are proposed, in addition to the new genus Henryvianaida gen. nov. with its two macropterous species, H. colombiensis sp. nov. and H. machupicchuensis sp. nov. The monophyly of all vianaidine genera is recovered and their synapomorphies are highlighted. Comments on fossil forms and insights on the future of Vianaidinae taxonomy and systematics are also included.

Teratospermopsis is proposed as a new genus for Chaetendophragmia protuberata [= Teratosperma microsporum]. The genus has acrogenous, solitary, euseptate conidia seceding schizolytically from monoblastic, integrated, terminal, annellidic conidiogenous cells. The conidia are obclavate, smooth, and with an apical cell with a filiform appendage and a basal cell with a lateral appendage. A key and a synoptic table to six accepted Teratosperma species accompany comments on four rejected or dubious species, including T. macrosporum [= Endophragmiella macrospora comb. nov.].
