A new species of the genus Kirkaldy, 1909 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Harpactorinae: Harpactorini) is described and illustrated. Gamboa & Gil-Santana, represents the first record of the genus for the Province of Napo in Colombia, and the first description of a male individual in the genus. The male specimen representing the new species was collected on a leaf of cacao ( L.-Malvaceae). Its remarkable similarity in external coloration and structure with that of the true bug Distant, 1883 (Hemiptera: Miridae) inhabiting cacao agroforestry systems suggests that the new species could be part of a mimetic complex that incorporates phytophagous and predator bugs. Comments and figures of type specimens of (Stål, 1855) and (Burmeister, 1838), and a key to the species of the genus are also provided.
描述并说明了1909年柯卡尔迪属(半翅目:异翅亚目:红蝽科:捕食蝽亚科:捕食蝽族)的一个新物种。甘博亚和吉尔 - 桑塔纳,代表了该属在哥伦比亚纳波省的首次记录,以及该属雄性个体的首次描述。代表新物种的雄性标本采自可可(锦葵科)的叶片上。它在外部颜色和结构上与栖息在可可农林系统中的真蝽(1883年的迪斯坦特,半翅目:盲蝽科)有显著相似性,这表明新物种可能是一个模仿复合体的一部分,该复合体包含植食性和捕食性蝽类。还提供了(斯塔尔,1855年)和(布尔梅斯特,1838年)模式标本的注释和图,以及该属物种的检索表。
