Abstract

The assassin bugs of the genus Ptilocerus Gray, 1831 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Holoptilinae) occurring in the Australian Region are reviewed for the first time, resulting in the description of two new species, viz., P. spangenbergi sp. nov. (Queensland and Northern Territory, Australia) and P. papuensis sp. nov. (Papua New Guinea). The latter species differs from P. fuscus Gray, 1831 (the type-species of genus Ptilocerus) in a couple of major external morphological characters, hence its tentative placement in the genus Ptilocerus is discussed. A key for the separation of the two new species is provided.

摘要

首次对分布于澳大利亚地区的1831年格雷氏（Ptilocerus）属猎蝽（半翅目：异翅亚目：猎蝽科：全褶猎蝽亚科）进行了综述，结果描述了两个新物种，即斯潘根贝格氏猎蝽（P. spangenbergi sp. nov.）（澳大利亚昆士兰州和北领地）和巴布亚猎蝽（P. papuensis sp. nov.）（巴布亚新几内亚）。后一个物种在几个主要外部形态特征上与1831年的褐猎蝽（P. fuscus Gray）（Ptilocerus属的模式种）不同，因此讨论了其在Ptilocerus属中的暂定归属。提供了区分这两个新物种的检索表。
