Revision of the Ceratocapsine Renodaeus group: Marinonicoris,Pilophoropsis, Renodaeus,and Zanchisme,with descriptions of four new genera (Heteroptera,Miridae, Orthotylinae)

The Renodaeus group, a monophyletic assemblage of genera within the New World orthotyline tribe Ceratocapsini, comprising eight genera, including four new ones, is defined; and 48 species are treated, including 26 described as new and 12 transferred from Ceratocapsus Reuter as new combinations. Ceratocapsideagen. n. is described to accommodate the new species Ceratocapsideabahamaensissp. n., from the Bahamas; Ceratocapsideabaranowskiisp. n., from Jamaica; Ceratocapsideadominicanensissp. n., from the Dominican Republic; Ceratocapsidearileyisp. n., from Texas; Ceratocapsideataeniolasp. n., from Jamaica; Ceratocapsideatexensissp. n., from Texas; Ceratocapsideatransversasp. n., from Mexico (Neuvo León); and Ceratocapsideavariabilissp. n., from Jamaica; and Ceratocapsusballi Knight, comb. n., Ceratocapsuscomplicatus Knight, comb. n., Ceratocapsideaconsimilis Reuter, comb. n., Ceratocapsusfusiformis Van Duzee, comb. n. (as the type species of the genus), Ceratocapsusnigropiceus Reuter, comb. n., and Ceratocapsusrufistigmus Blatchley, comb. n. [and a neotype designated], Ceratocapsusclavicornis Knight, syn. n. and Ceratocapsusdivaricatus Knight, syn. n. are treated as junior synonyms of Ceratocapsusfusiformis Van Duzee. The genus Marininocoris Carvalho and the only included species Marinonicorismyrmecoides Carvalho are redescribed. The genus Pilophoropsis Poppius is redescribed and revised, Renodaeustexanus Knight, comb. n. is transferred into it and the three new species Pilophoropsisbejeanaesp. n., from Sonora, Mexico; Pilophoropsiscunealissp. n., from Oaxaca, Mexico; Pilophoropsisquercicolasp. n., from Arizona, USA, are described. Pilophoropsideagen. n. is described to accommodate the 12 new species Pilophoropsideabrailovskyisp. n., from Federal District, Mexico; Pilophoropsideacuneatasp. n., from Chiapas, Mexico; Pilophoropsideadimidiatasp. n., from Durango, Mexico; Pilophoropsideafuscatasp. n., from Durango, Mexico and Arizona and New Mexico, USA; Pilophoropsideakeltonisp. n., from Durango, Mexico; Pilophoropsideamaximasp. n., from Durango, Mexico; Pilophoropsideapueblaensissp. n., from Puebla, Mexico; Pilophoropsideaschaffnerisp. n., from Neuvo León and San Luis Potosi, Mexico; Pilophoropsideaserratasp. n., from Michoacan, Mexico; Pilophoropsideatouchetaesp. n., from Mexico (Puebla); Pilophoropsideatruncatasp. n., from Mexico (Guerrero); Pilophoropsideatuberculatasp. n., from Mexico (Guerrero); and Ceratocapsusbarberi Knight, comb. n., Ceratocapsuscamelus Knight, comb. n. (as the type species of the genus), and Ceratocapsusfascipennis Knight, comb. n.Pilophoropsitagen. n. is described to accommodate Pilophoropsideaschaffnerisp. n. from Costa Rica and Mexico (Jalisco, Nayarit, Oaxaca). The genus Renodaeus Distant is redescribed and the new species Renodaeusmimeticussp. n. from Ecuador is described. The genus Zanchisme Kirkaldy is reviewed and the four known species are redescribed. Zanchismeopsideagen. n. is described to accommodate Zanchismeopsideadiegoisp. n. from Argentina (Santiago del Estero). Provided are habitus illustrations for certain adults (Pilophoropsideacamelus, Pilophoropsisbrachyptera Poppius, Renodaeusmimeticus, and Zanchismemexicanus Carvalho & Schaffner), male and female (when available) color digital images and figures of male genitalia of all species, electron photomicrographs of diagnostic characters for selected species, and keys to the genera and their included species. The taxa treated in this paper are arranged alphabetically by genus and species.
