Abstract

Sinchocoris giupponii sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae) is described. An updated key to the species of Sinchocoris Dougherty, 1995 is presented. Photographs of the type specimens of Sinchocoris colombiensis Dougherty, 1995, S. panamensis Dougherty, 1995, Rhiginia bimaculata Breddin, 1914 and Rhiginia conspersa Breddin, 1901 (Ectrichodiinae) are presented, with short taxonomical notes on all of them. Montina lobata Stål, 1859, Montina sinuosa (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825) and Zelus lewisi Zhang & Hart, 2016 (Harpactorinae, Harpactorini) are recorded from Ecuador for the first time.
