Abstract

A new monotypic genus, Sulawesifulvius, with an unusual set of characters, is described to accomodate S. schuhi n. sp., a cylapine plant bug (Heteroptera: Miridae) from Sulawesi. Illustrations of the dorsal habitus, male and female genitalia, tarsi, foreand hind legs are provided. The possible phyletic relationships of this taxon are briefly discussed.
