Abstract
A new genus, Mapuchea gen. nov. from Chile, is described with Myerslopia chilensis NIELSON, 1996 (type species) and two new species (Mapuchea burckhardti sp. nov. and Mapuchea hamiltoni sp. nov.). The nymphs of an unidentfied species of Mapuchea are also described. Four new species of the New Zealand genus Myerslopia Ev. (M. rakiuraensis sp. nov., M. whakatipuensis sp. nov., M. tawhai sp. nov. and M. tearohai) are described. Additional data on the distribution of some species of the genus Pemmation HMLT. are also presented.References
