A revision of the tribe Gonocerini from Australia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae: Coreinae)

Abstract

The coreine tribe Gonocerini (Coreidae) of Australia is revised. Three genera and seven species are recorded. Among them are three new species (Cletomorpha saphisa, Plinachtus melinus, and Plinachtus refulgens). New distributional records are given for Cletomorpha mackayensis Distant, Cletus minutus Blöte, Cletus saucius Stål, and Cletus similis Blöte. Redescriptions of previously known species are provided. Diagnostic taxonomic characters of head, pronotum, and male genital capsule, and dorsal views of some species are illustrated. A key is given to the known genera and species.
