Abstract
The new genera Acutifromiris, Cephalomiroides, and Scutellograndis are desc ribed to accommodate four new species of Miridae from South America and the incertae sedis species, Eurychilopterella acutifrons Carvalho. The structu res of the male genitalia are illustrated for all species and dorsal habitu s views are given for selected species. Scanning electron micrographs of th e head and pronotum metathoracic scent efferent system, and the pretarsus a re also provided. The relationships of Acutifromiris, Cephalomiroides, and Scutellograndris to other New World Deraeocorini genera are discussed.
