Abstract

The genus Reuteroscopus is known from North America, Central America, and the West Indies. Lygus uvidus Distant considered a synonym of ornatus Reuter is a good species and the name must be revived. Psallus nicholi Knight is transferred to Reuteroscopus. Descriptions are given for the following 11 new species, making a total of 16 known species for the genus: antennatus, aztecus, chillcotti, complexus, digitatus, mexicanus, and similis from Mexico; diffusus from Mexico, Costa Rico, and Panama; femoralis from Arizona and Mexico; curacaoensis from Curacao Is.; and hamatus from Florida, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands. Reuteroscopus sulphureus Reuter will be removed to another genus. Male genitalia of the 16 species are illustrated and a key to males is provided.
