Abstract

The subfamily Agriopocorinae Miller 1954 is reduced to tribal rank, with the new status Agriopocorini Miller. The tribe Agriopocorini is redefined, and three new genera (Agriopocostella gen.nov., Agriopocoscelis gen.nov., and Agriopocodemus gen.nov.) and four new species (Agriopocoris dollingi sp.nov., Agriopocostella rugulosa sp.nov., Agriopocoscelis elongatus sp.nov., and Agriopocodemus inexspectatus sp.nov.) are described and illustrated; Agriopocoris dimorphus Stys is synonymized under Agriopocoris froggatti Miller, and Agriopocoris macilentus Miller under Agriopocoris porcellus Miller. New distributional data and trophic preferences for plants of the family Leguminosae are included. Dorsal habitus, antennal segments, head, pronotum, male genital capsule, and parameres are illustrated, and a checklist and key to the known genera and species are provided.

Résumé

La sous-famille des Agriopocorinae Miller 1954 est réduite au rang de tribu avec le nouveau statut Agriopocorini Miller. La tribu des Agriopocorini est redéfinie et trois nouveaux genres (Agriopocostella gen.nov., Agriopocoscelis gen.nov. et Agriopocodemus gen.nov.) ainsi que quatre nouvelles espèces (Agriopocoris dollingi sp.nov., Agriopocostella rugulosa sp.nov., Agriopocoscelis elongatus sp.nov. et Agriopocodemus inexspectatus sp.nov.) sont décrits et illustrés. Agriopocoris dimorphus Stys devient synonyme d’Agriopocoris froggatti Miller et Agriopocoris macilentus Miller, synonyme d’Agriopocoris porcellus Miller. Des données inédites sur la répartition et sur les préférences trophiques pour les plantes de la famille des légumineuses sont présentées. La vue dorsale de l’insecte complet, les segments antennaires, la tête, le pronotum, la capsule génitale mâle et les paramères sont illustrés; une liste des espèces et une clé des genres et espèces connus sont également présentés.
