The Aeptini (Pentatomidae: Pentatominae) genus Menestheus Stål, 1868, is redescribed. The original misidentification of the type species for Menestheus is corrected by action of first reviser herein by establishing Paramenestheus nercivus non Dallas, 1851 sensu Stal (1868) = Menestheus cuneatus Distant, 1899 as the type species. Menestheus mcphersoni sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Characters separating the two species are discussed.
对1868年的梅内斯修斯蝽属(蝽科:蝽亚科)进行了重新描述。通过第一修订者的行动,纠正了梅内斯修斯蝽属模式种的原始误鉴定,即将1851年达拉斯(非斯塔尔,1868年意义上的)的“Paramenestheus nercivus”=1899年迪斯坦特的“Menestheus cuneatus”确立为模式种。描述并图示了新物种麦克弗森梅内斯修斯蝽。讨论了区分这两个物种的特征。
