Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: New genus · Topics: Phytoplasmas and Hemiptera pathogens, Cocoa and Sweet Potato Agronomy, Hymenoptera taxonomy and phylogeny

Based on examination of holotypes or interpretation of original descriptions, four taxonomic changes are proposed for South American species erroneously placed in the tribe Smiliini: Flynnia, gen. n. (Thuridini) and F. fascipennis (Funkhouser), comb. n. from Bolivia; Antianthe atromarginata (Goding), comb. n. from Ecuador; Amastris pilosa (Funkhouser), comb. n. from Peru; and Thelia planeflava Fairmaire from Brazil to Polyglyptiniincertae sedis, new placement.
