Taxonomic Changes and Descriptions of New Tingidae (Hemiptera)

Abstract

This paper describes a new genus and three new species of Tingidae. The taxonomic changes include the suppression of several trivial names of species as synonyms and the creation of either new names or resurrection of available names for homonyms that have been theretofore overlooked. The location of the holotype is recorded beneath the descriptions of each new species. We are indebted to Elinor Stromberg and Lisa Biganzoli, both of Washington, D. C, for the fine illustrations. This study was supported in part by National Science Foundation Grant 18721.
