Abstract
DELLAPE, Pablo M. and COSCARON, María del Carmen. New combination and new synonymy in the tribes Megalonotini and Lethaeini (Hemiptera: Rhyparochromidae). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2004, vol.63, n.1-2, pp.17-18. ISSN 0373-5680.
The syntypes of Lamprodema inerme Berg a Megalonotini, deposited in the collection of Museo de La Plata (Argentina) are examined and transferred to the monotypic genus Stictolethaeus O´Donnell in the tribe Lethaeini as Stictolethaeus inerme (Berg) (new combination) and Stictolethaeus slateri O´Donnell is treated as a junior synonym of Lamprodema inerme (new synonymy). The absence of inner laterotergites in the macropterous syntype reveals that further studies are needed in order to establish the correct position of Stictolethaeus inerme within a tribe.
Keywords : Rhyparochromidae; Lethaeini; Megalonotini; Stictolethaeus inerme; New combination.
