Abstract
The definition of Procleticini is broadened to include a total of elev en genera: Aleixus McDonald, Brepholoxa Van Duzee, Dendrocoris Bergrot h, Lobepomis Berg, Neoderoploa Pennington, Odmalea Bergroth, Parodmale a, new genus, Procleticus Berg, Terania Piran, Thoreyella Spinola, and Zorcadium Bergroth. Characters which unite these genera into a homoge neous group are those involving both the male and female genitalia. Pa rodmalea rubella, new genus, new species is described from Brazil (Mat o Grosso). Neoderoploa willineri Kormilev, 1955 is placed as a junior synonym of N. bruchii Pennington, 1922. Diagnoses are given for the tr ibe Procleticini and for all previously described procleticine genera. Redescriptions are provided for several relatively rare species: Lobe pomis peltifera Berg, Procleticus corniger Berg, Terania guachipasi Pi ran, and Neoderoploa bruchii Pennington. A key to aid in the identific ation of the included genera is provided.
