Abstract Six genera and 11 species of Orthotylinae
are now known from New Zealand. Zanchius Distant is newly
recorded. One new genus, Tridiplous, and seven new species of
endemic New Zealand Orthotylini are described and illustrated. Four new
species are described in Tridiplous: T. burrus, T.
parvapiatus, T. penmani, and T. virens, and
three new species are described in Zanchius: Z. ater, Z.
rubicrux, and Z. totus. Keys are provided to identify New
Zealand taxa of the tribes of Orthotylinae, genera and species of
Halticini, genera of Orthotylini, and species of Tridiplous and
Zanchius. The bugs are illustrated with colour habitus photos,
and drawings including male and female genitalia. Economic importance
is discussed.
