Abstract

Two new species of the genus Scirtetellus Reuter, 1890 (Heteroptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae: Halticini) are described as new to science from China: Scirtetellus qinghaiensis sp. nov. and Scirtetellus shanxiensis sp. nov. Detailed morphological description, photographs of the dorsal habitus and male parameres, key to species of Scirtetellus from China and species list of Scirtetellus of the world are provided. The 658 bp long fragments of the mitochondrial gene COI (DNA barcode) are provided as a part of the diagnosis of the new species. The type specimens and the DNA sample were deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.
