New records, taxonomic notes, and the description of a new species of Harpactorinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) from French Guiana Author Gil-Santana, Hélcio R. text Zootaxa 2022 2022-03-04 5105 3 381 400 journal article 20338 10.11646/zootaxa.5105.3.3 1cbce23e-b302-4bb8-8068-3ccb6b51646b 1175-5326 6332716 29D7141B-8FBB-4FB1-AEDE-2C448A864722 Sphodrolestes vittaticollis Stål, 1867 ( Figs. 6–8 ) Stål (1867) described Sphodrolestes vittaticollis based on (a) female (s) from North Brazil (“Brasilia borealis”). Gil-Santana et al . (2003) and Forero et al . (2011) recorded the species to Bolivia and Ecuador , respectively. Gil- Santana et al . (2003) mentioned the general similarity in coloration between S. vittaticollis and Agriocoris flavipes (Fabricius, 1803) (Apiomerini) . Both species seem to be mimetic of stingless bees ( Hymenoptera : Apidae : Apinae: Meliponini), taking into account their general structure and particularly the vestiture and shape of the middle and hind tibiae ( Figs. 6–7 ), similarly to previous reports in relation to some species of Apiomerus ( Johnson 1983 , Roubick 1989, Gonzales-Bustamante 1995 ). There is a variation in the coloration, including the extension and shape of the dark markings of pronotum ( Figs. 6–7 ; pers. observation). Sphodrolestes is monotypic, therefore S. vittaticollis is identified by the generic characteristics, such as the conspicuous spiniform tubercle in the gular region of the head ( Stål 1872 , Gil-Santana et al . 2003, 2015) ( Fig. 8 ).
