Pages 333-367 | Received 21 Dec 1976, Published online: 30 Mar 2010
 

The following new genera and species are described: Forsterocoris stewartensis n.sp.; Geratarma n.gen. (type‐species G. eylesi n.sp.), G. manapourensis n.sp.; Paratruncala n.gen. (type‐species Tomocoris insularis Woodward, 1953); Truncala insularis n.sp.; Woodwardiana n.gen.(type‐species Regatarma evagorata Woodward, 1953), W. paparia n.sp.; Tomocoris cookensis n.sp. from the Cook Islands. Eminocoris Eyles, 1967, is synonymised with Miller ocoris Eyles, 1967. The subspecies of Regatarma forsteri Woodward, 1953 (except obsolescens Woodward, 1953 and stephensis Woodward, 1953) are raised to species status. In addition, the following new combinations are made: Regatarma salmoni Woodward, 1953 to Forsterocoris; Regatarma notialis Woodward, 1953 and R. nelsonensis Woodward, 1953 to Woodwardiana. Supplementary descriptive details and illustrations, with emphasis on the genitalia, are given for the taxa of Woodward (1953) and Eyles (1967). Targarema stali White, 1878 and T. electa White, 1878 are redescribed. The genera and species are keyed, and the reasons for taxonomic changes to previously described taxa are discussed. Dorsal views of the body and line drawings of the genitalia and other structures of taxonomic importance are presented.
