Abstract

The thyantae group of Trissolcus is characterized by the presence of abundant long setae on the metapleuron. All known New World species occur in the Nearctic, viz. T. thyantae Ashmead (eastern USA and Canada), T. occiduus n. sp. (western USA), T. parma n. sp. (widespread), and T. ruidus n. sp. (Arizona, New Mexico). An identification key is provided and all species are described or redescribed. Data on distributions and hosts (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) are summarized.

Résumé

Le groupe thyantae du genre Trissolcus est caractérisé par la présence de longues soies sur le metapleure. Toutes les espèces connues du Nouveau Monde se retrouvent dans la région néarctique, soient T. thyantae Ashmead (est des USA et Canada), T. occiduus n. sp. (ouest des USA), T. parma n. sp. (largement répandue) et T. ruidus n. sp. (Arizona, Nouveau-Mexique). On fournit une clé d'identification et toutes les espèces sont décrites ou redécrites. Les données sur leur répartition et leurs hôtes (Heteroptera : Pentatomidae) sont résumées.
