Abstract Tinginotum minutum n. sp. from New Zealand
and Australia, and Tinginotopsis tuberculatus n. sp. from Norfolk
Island, are described and illustrated. The female genitalia for both genera are
described and illustrated for the first time. The apex of the second
gonapophysis in both genera differs from those previously illustrated for other
species of Miridae. A contribution is made to defining the limits of the two
genera, and to distinguishing between them. The known distribution of
Tinginotum knowlesi (Kirkaldy, 1908) and Tinginotopsis
camelus Poppius, 1915 is extended, and a host plant (Artocarpus
altilis) for the former is recorded.
