03EC87AEFFDA714B0D791373B76A748F.taxon	discussion	Comments. This genus is related toHypatropis; they share the following characters: head in proﬁle with jugae in a higher level than tylus, parameres absent, ductus receptaculi extremely long, and well-developed secondary thickenings of gonapophyses 9. Amauromelpía could be distinguished from Hypatropis by the structure of the male genitalia, specially the conjunctival processes of the phallus; segment X with an entire transversal carena in Hypatropís, instead of l + l processes at middle third in Amauromelpia.	en	Fernandes, José Antônio Marin, Grazia, Jocélia (1998): Amauromelpia, a new Northern Neotropical genus (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae).
