Hemiptera Rhyparochromidae Pamera noctuabunda Bergroth a species of Stalaria synonymous with S. nysias (Linnavuori) revised key to species of Stalaria

Abstract

The rhyparochromid Pamera noctuabunda Bergroth, 1907 is shown to belong in the genus Stalaria Harrington, 1980, not in the genus Remaudiereana Hoberlandt, 1954, where it was placed by Harrington (1980). Stalaria nysias (Linnavouri, 1978) is synonymized with S. noctuabunda. The four species described in Stalaria are confined to Africa: their distribution is outlined. Specimens examined are listed, and a revised key to the species of Stalaria is appended.
