Extract

The adult stage and nymph 2 of Hoplopleura johnsonae sp.nov. and the nymphal stages of H. captiosa Johnson are described. The morphology of Hoplopleura nymphs and the infraspecific variations of H. captiosa Johnson are discussed, and a key to the seven species of Hoplopleura Enderlein known in Thailand is also presented.

I am grateful to Dr K. C. Emerson, Arlington, Virginia, and Dr Zofia Wegner, Gdansk-Wrzeszcz, Poland, for the loan of materials on which this work was based. I am also indebted to Dr Phyllis T. Johnson, University of California at Irvine, and Dr Edwin F. Cook, University of Minnesota, for their suggestions as to this species complex and reading the manuscript.
