Stenodema longicuneata (Carvalho and Rosas, 1966) (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Miridae) in Patagonia: redescription, new synonym and geographic distribution

Abstract: The genus Stenodema Laporte, 1832 is a group of grass-feeding plant bugs worldwide distributed, with five species recorded for the Subantarctic sub-region (sunsuMorroneMORRONE JJ. 2015. Biogeographical regionalisation of the Andean region. Zootaxa 3936: 207-236. 2015). Males of Stenodema longicuneata (CarvalhoCARVALHO JCM and ROSAS AF. 1966. Mirídeos neotropicais, XCVI: nôvo gênero e espécie da fauna chilena (Hemiptera). Rev Bras Biol 26: 73-75. and Rosas, 1966) are redescribed and photographed. Stenodema laolaoensis (Carvalho, 1985) is proposed as a junior synonym of S. longicuneata. New geographic records are provided and distributional and biogeographic issues are discussed.
