Abstract

"The Pilophorini of the New World, including the genera Alepidiella Poppius (1 species), Pilophorus Hahn (44 species, 7 described as new), and Sthenaridea Reuter (7 species, 4 described as new) are revised. Alepidea Reuter is synonymized with Pilophorus and Paramixia Reuter is synonymized with Sthenaridea Reuter. The following species synonymies are created (junior names first): Pilophorus depictus Knight = P. furvus Knight; P. pinicola Knight = P. amoenus Uhler; P. crassipes Poppius and P. banksianae Knight = P. crassipes Heidemann; P. desertinus Knight, P. hesperus Knight, P. jezzardi Knight, P. mexicanus Knight, and P. microsetosus Knight = P. tibialis Van Duzee; P. barberi Knight = P. americanus Poppius; P. merinoi Knight = P. clavicornis Poppius; P. bellula Hussey and P. gracilis squamosa Knight = P. gracilis Uhler; P. australis Knight = P. brunneus Poppius; P. nicholi Knight and P. utahensis Knight = P. discretus Van Duzee; P. hirtus Knight = longisetosus Knight; P. tanneri Knight = P. salicis Knight; P. opacus Knight = P. vicarius Poppius; Psallus politus Uhler and Sthenarus plebejus Reuter = Sthenaridea vulgaris (Distant). Line drawings are presented for the antennae, male genitalic structures, and pronotum and hemelytra of all species; habitus views are presented for 10 species; scanning electron micrographs are presented for setal types, surface structure, and vesical structure. Keys to the genera and species are included"--P. 104.
