New records of Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Colombia and other Neotropical countries

Laboratorio de Entomología, Museo Javeriano de Historia Natural, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, Colombia Present address: Department of Entomology, Comstock Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853; and American Museum of Natural History, New York, New York 10024-5192, USA

Abstract

One subfamily, 27 genera, and 48 species of Reduviidae are recorded for the first time from Colombia and other Neotropical countries. Comments on those taxa, and new localities and notes for other previously known species, are given. For the first time, the female of Opisthacidius picturatus is described and its pronotum figured. Morphological details on Orbella lugubris, Pessoaia limai, Phasmatocoris spectrum, and Pothea annulipes are provided.
