Abstract

ABSTRACT We present here the taxonomic revision of Mecocephala Dallas, 1851 and Paramecocephala Benvegnú, 1968 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae), updating the genitalic terminology. A differential diagnosis of each genus and all of its members is provided, and a new species of Paramecocephala is described from a female: P. helenae sp. nov. from Brazil. Photographs of type specimens and genitalia, species occurrence maps with new records, and an updated key for species of both genera are also provided. https://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6D63D5B2-55A2-4465-852F-EEDA37FEF12B
