A new species of Notocyrtus, a new synonym of Coilopus, and new records and notes on other Harpactorini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Harpactorinae) from South America Author Gil-Santana, Hélcio R. Author Forero, Dimitri text Zootaxa 2009 2148 55 67 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.188692 bbd5bbf0-6ee4-4fcb-8cbb-fe45a1fe9a52 1175-5326 188692 Notocyrtus Burmeister, 1835 The genus Notocyrtus Burmeister, 1835 was initially revised by Carvalho and Costa (1992 , 1993 ). Costa and Gil-Santana 2001, and Gil-Santana and Costa 2001 described additional new species, having Notocyrtus 23 valid species. Despite the revision and subsequent description of additional species, it is clear that there is still a proportion of the diversity of Notocyrtus that remains undescribed. Species of Notocyrtus have been recognized as mimetics of meliponine bees ( Jackson, 1973 ; Gil-Santana 2008), in which the mimicry is enhanced by an inflated pronotum ( Haviland 1931 ; Jackson 1973 ). Some species of this genus are variable in color, particularly in the pronotum, which may be a result of mimicking different meliponine bees in different localities ( Jackson 1973 ). On the other hand, the general size, the structure of the head, the shape of the pronotum and tibiae, and, to a lesser extent, the color patterns on head, pronotum, and legs seem to be good features for separating species of Notocyrtus ( Carvalho & Costa 1992 , 1993 ).
