WASH. 104(1), 2002, pp. 111-118 A NEW GENUS AND A NEW SPECIES OF DALADERINI (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: COREIDAE) FROM MADAGASCAR Harry Brailovsky Departamento de Zoologia, Institute de Biologia, U.N. A.M., Apdo Postal No. 70-153, Mexico, 04510 D.F., Mexico (e-mail: coreidae@servidor.unam.mx) Abstract. — Kerzhnercryptes perinetus, n. gen., n. sp., from Madagascar are described in the tribe Daladerini (Coreidae). A habitus view illustration and drawings of the anten-nae, pronotum, legs, abdomen, and male and female genitalia are provided. A key to the known genera of Daladerini from Madagascar is included. Key Words: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Daladerini, new genus, new species, Mad-agascar The Coreidae fauna of Madagascar is rich and diverse but has been studied little by modern workers. The tribe Daladerini at present is composed of 8 genera and 28 nominal species distributed throughout the Old World tropics, with the majority of spe-cies and the greatest diversity in southern Africa. The Madagascar Daladerini have never been revised. The first species recorded was by Stal (1873), who described a new genus and one new species, Odontorhopala cal-losa. Distant (1879) studied the Madagascar Hemiptera and added one new genus, Par-abrachytes, with two new species, P. co-loratus and P. obscurus, and later Distant (1893) described Odontorhopala bergrothi and discussed the generic position of Odon-torhopala and Parabrachytes. Bergroth (1906) described a new genus and one new species, Rhombolaparus tardigradus, and later Bergroth (1912) added the new spe-cies, Odontorhopala geminata. Garcia Var-ela (1913) described Parabrachytes longi-cornis and gave new distribution records for Odontorhopala callosa and Parabrach-ytes coloratus. Here I add a new genus and a new spe-cies in order to make the name available for discussion of the zoogeography of the tribe. The following abbreviations are used for the institutions cited in this paper: MNHN (Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France), UNAM (Institute de Biolo-gia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico), ZISP (Zoological Institute, St. Pe-tersburg, Russia).
