Pehuencoris, a new genus of Cardiastethini (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) from southern Argentina and Chile (Patagonia).
We describe the new genus Pehuencoris to include P. gurguliophagus n. sp. from southern Argentina and Chile (Patagonia). We illustrate the dorsal habitus and male genitalia, provide a complete description of the ostiolar peritreme and its microsculpture, and show a distributional map. We include comments on the biology and habits of the new species, and discuss relationships of the new genus to other genera of Cardiastethini.
