Tribe Anisoscelini

The available keys to the tribes of new world Coreidae ( Packauskas 1994; Panizzi & Grazia 2015) indicate that the members of the tribe Anisoscelini that do not have the posterior tibiae expanded must have all femora spinose below, however, this character is inaccurate when considering the inclusion of Sephinioides Brailovsky and should not be taken as fundamental to defining the tribe. Recently, Leavengood et al. (2024) published an updated key to the genera of Anisoscelini . This key included Amblyomia Stål and Mamurius Stål , which have historically been included in other tribes or treated as incertae sedis due to their dubious taxonomic position. Amblyomia is here presented within the Anisoscelini , while Mamurius is on the incertae sedis section.

Anisoscelini is represented by 60 species in Colombia, 25 of which are new country records. Comparison with type specimens and original descriptions is required to identify the species of Diactor Perty , Leptoscelis Laporte , Malvana Stål , the Phthia complex, Sephinioides Brailovsky and Tarpeius Stål ; whereas the following genera have recent keys or revisions: Amblyomyia Stål ( Brailovsky & Barrera 2022a), Bitta Osuna (Leavengood, Brailovsky & Barrera 2024) , Dalmatommamurius Brailovsky ( Brailovsky 1990c), Holhymenia Lepeletier & Serville ( Brailovsky 2014b) , Leptoglossus Guérin-Méneville ( Brailovsky 2014a; Brailovsky & Barrera 2023c); in the case of Anisoscelis Latreille it is pertinent to note that, although Anisoscelis was addressed in Brailovsky (2016), the key presented there possess problems that were amended by Leavengood, Brailovsky & Barrera (2024).
