Abstract
This study provides a taxonomic revision of the genus Kunungua Carvalho, 1951 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Miridae, Bryocorinae, Eccritotarsini) with the description of three new species, K. atramentomaculatasp. nov., K. geminasp. nov., and K. ornatasp. nov. Revised diagnoses for the genus and three additional species are given, along with a key to the species. Habitus photographs, illustrations of male genitalic structures, and distributional information are provided for each species. The placement of Kunungua within the Prodromus group of genera is discussed. The genus Duducoris Odhiambo, 1962 is recognised as a new junior subjective synonym of Prodromus Distant, 1904, resulting in new combinations for the five species contained in the subsumed genus. Kunungua pallida Linnavuori, 1975 is excluded from the genus Kunungua and treated as a species of uncertain generic placement.
