New distributional records of terrestrial Heteroptera (Hemiptera), based on faunal research carried out in the Santa Catalina Provincial Reserve, Buenos Aires Province

Abstract

As a result of the studies carried out in the Santa Catalina Reserve (Lomas de Zamora), four species are reported for the first time for Argentina: Buchananiella exigua (Poppius, 1913) (Anthocoridae), transferring this species from the genus Cardiastethus Fieber, Xyonysius basalis (Dallas, 1852) (Lygaeidae), Prytanes formosa (Distant, 1882) (Rhyparochromidae) and Leptoglossus lonchoides Allen, 1969 (Coreidae). Seven species are reported for the first time for the province of Buenos Aires: Amphiareus constrictus (Stål, 1860) (Anthocoridae), Pagasa (Pagasa) luteiceps (Walker, 1873) (Nabidae), Dijocaria oculata Carvalho and Carpintero, 1991 and Rhinacloa basalis (Reuter, 1907) (Miridae), Teleonemia validicornis Stål, 1873 (Tingidae), Edessa graziae Fernandez & da Silva, 2021 (Pentatomidae) and Corimelaena tibialis (Fabricius, 1803) (Thyreocoridae). Finally, Orsillus depressus Dallas, 1852 (Lygaeidae) is recorded for the first time for the north of the province of Buenos Aires. It is commented briefly in each case on their habits as well as their general distribution, that in some cases will be new contributions for other Argentine provinces. Images of each of them are also offered.
