Descriptions of two new species of the enigmatic Neotropical tribe Chryxini (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Reduviidae) and a key to genera and species with single membrane cell

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Chen, Zhuo, Hartong, Charlotte, Li, Hu, Cai, Wanzhi (2026): Descriptions of two new species of the enigmatic Neotropical tribe Chryxini (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Reduviidae) and a key to genera and species with single membrane cell. Zoosystema 48 (7): 197-209, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2026v48a7 ABSTRACT The Chryxini Champion, 1898, previously recognized as a subfamily of the Reduviidae Latreille, 1807, is now placed in the Reduviinae Latreille, 1807 as a tribe to accommodate five genera and 18 species from the Neotropical Region.

Many species of the Chryxini are rarely encountered in the field as well as in museum collections, and their systematics, morphology, and ecology are still poorly understood. In the present study, two new species of the Chryxini, Chryxus willemsei Chen, Hartong & Cai, n. sp. (from Commewijne, Suriname) and Wygodzinskyella gilsantanai Chen, Li & Cai, n. sp.
