A revision of the genus Psallopsis (Heteroptera: Miridae)

F.V. Konstantinov

Abstract. A key and descriptions are given for all 13 species of this genus, including 3 new species: Psallopsis neglecta sp. n. (Ukraine, south of European Russia, Altai, Central Asia, and Mongolia), P. caspia sp. n. (Caucasus, northern coast of the Caspi Sia, Central Asia, and Iran) and P. kalidiicola sp. n. (Central Asia and Mongolia). The following new synonymies are established: Psallopsis kirgisica (Becker) = Solenoxyphus flavicans Qi & Nonnaizab; Psallopsis minima (Wagner) = Solenoxyphus viridulus Qi & Nonnaizab. Data on distribution, mainly based on the collection of the Zoological Institute (St. Petersburg) are illustrated by maps for 9 species.
