The authors describe Adpiasus riegeri sp. nov. (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae, Mirini), a new species of the genus from French Guyana. It is compared with the three existing species of the genus Adpiasus Carvalo & Schaffner, 1973, A. punctatus Carvalho & Schaffner, 1973, and A. mayanus Carvalho & Schaffner, 1973, from Mexico, as well as A. ecuadorianus Carvalho &
Carpintero, 1986, from Ecuador. The characteristic features of the new species are described in detail and illustrated by photographs. Adpiasus mayanus is recorded for the frst time from French Guyana.
Additional information on the distribution of eleven species of stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) from the Afrotropical region is reported and discussed with respect to the major biomes of Africa. For some species, remarks on ecology, identifcation and taxonomy are included. New country records are indicated for Gampsoacantha pumilio, Gampsocoris africanus cornutus, Micrometacanthus trichoferus, Cametanthus madagascariensis, Metacanthus microphthalmus, M. mollis, M. nitidus,
Neostusakia picticornis and Yemma gracilis.
An inclusion in Miocene Dominican amber contained a well preserved velvety shore bug (Ochteridae), Riegerochterus baehri gen. nov., spec. nov., which is described and figured in this article. This is the first fossil representative of the family recorded from Cenozoic, as all previously described taxa are much older, e.g. from the Early Jurassic of England and the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous of China. It is distinguished from all extant genera of Ochteridae by several distinct characters that are shortly discussed. Figures and photos of representatives of fossil (Riegerochterus) and recent (Megochterus, Ochterus and Ocyochterus) genera are provided.
