Abstract

One new genus Branstettocoris and two new species Branstettocoris pinguis (Mexico) and Branstettocoris parvulus (Guatemala) are described, illustrated, and included in the tribe Antillocorini (Rhyparochromidae). A key to the known genera of Mexican and Guatemalan Antillocorini is presented.
