Description de Macrotylus (Macrotylus) ehannoi n. sp. du Liban, suivie d'une clé de détermination des Macrotylus de couleur noire (Heteroptera, Miridae)
... Vesica bent in U-shape, widened, bifurcate apically. Genitalia of male were accurately illustrated by Wagner (1974) and Matocq (1996). Similar species: M. quadrilineatus is the first representative of Macrotylus species with blackish colouration recorded in the Pannonian region. ...
... A key to similar-looking black species (M. quadrilineatus) was published by Matocq (1996); some of the other included species might also occur in Hungary. ...
An overview on the representatives of the host plant specialist phyline genus Macrotylus Fieber, 1858 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Phylinae) distributed in Hungary is presented, including key, diagnoses, along with taxonomic, biogeographic, and ecological notes to the discussed species. First occurrences of Macrotylus quadrilineatus (Schrank, 1825) in Hungary are reported.
... We examined the specimens that were identified as M. (M.) quadrilineatus by F. Önder and found that they refer to M. (M.) soosi, a species endemic to Crete, Greece (Kerzhner & Josifov 1999). It differs from M. (M) quadrilineatus by its smaller size (Fig. 3C) and dissimilar vesica (Fig. 4G) (Matocq 1996). Önder (1976) stated that the specimens were collected from Salvia sp. ...
In this study, Acrotelus abbaricus Linnavuori, Dicyphus (Dicyphus) josifovi Rieger, Macrotylus (Macrotylus) soosi Josifov, Myrmecophyes (Myrmecophyes) variabilis Drapulyok and Paravoruchia dentata Wagner are recorded from Turkey for the first time. Second records of Amphiareus constrictus Stål, Psallus (Psallus) cruentatus (Mulsant & Rey), Psallus (Psallus) konyaensis Matocq and Psallus (Psallus) pseudopunctulatus Linnavuori from Turkey are given. A previously unknown female of P. (P.) konyaensis is illustrated and host plant association is given. Examination of some Nabidae, Reduviidae and Miridae species preserved in the Lodos Entomological Museum, Turkey (LEMT) led to the following results: the presence of Adelphocoris quadripunctatus (Fabricius) in Turkey is confirmed, and 19 other species are excluded from the Heteroptera fauna of Turkey.
... The roof, or dorsal wall, of the mirid genital chamber, has remained less well documented (except for the associated sclerotized rings), very rarely illustrated in its entirety and often underestimated, in spite of many notable exceptions (see among others : Schmitz 1968;Ehanno 1990a, 1990b, 1990c, Stonedahl 1991Matocq 1993Matocq , 1996Matocq , 2004Rosenzweig 1997;Ehanno & Ribes 1994;Chérot 2002;Carpintero & Chérot 2002;Malipatil & Chérot 2002;Chérot & Malipatil 2003;Wyniger 2004Wyniger , 2006Wyniger , 2010Wyniger , 2011Sadowska-Woda et al. 2006;Matocq & Pluot-Sigwalt 2001, 2005, 2006a, 2006b, 2012, 2014Yasunaga & Schwartz 2007;Pagola-Carte & Ribes 2007;Cassis & Wall 2010;Pluot-Sigwalt & Chérot 2013;Gapon 2014). Recently, it has been extensively studied within the Bryocorinae by Namyatova & Cassis (2012, 2013, 2015 and several characters supplied by the roof were used in phylogenetic analysis. ...
The roof (dorsal wall) of the female genital chamber (bursa copulatrix) was compared in 31 species representing six subgenera of the taxonomically difficult genus Psallus Fieber, 1858. This investigation tested the potential value of different elements of the dorsal wall (dorsal sac, sclerotized rings, spermathecal gland, lateral oviducts, and infolding of the lateral margins), anticipating diagnostic characters and phylogenetic information for a genus in need of revision. The dorsal sac, a very variable membranous pouch differentiated from the vaginal wall, appears highly informative in providing reliable diagnostic characters at species level; to some extent it may also reveal related species. At subgenus or genus level, the dorsal sac must be examined with other equally informative structures of the roof. In some cases, strong evidence is provided by these structures aiding the recognition of related and unrelated species. The subgenus Pityopsallus Wagner forms a homogenous species-group which does not seems closely related to Psallus s.l. and should be raised to generic status as already proposed by several authors. The subgenus Hylopsallus Wagner appears to gather several species united by at least one synapomorphy after removing unrelated species such as P. (Hylopsallus) callunae Reuter. Also, it is clear that Psallus pardalis Seidenstücker and Psallus jungaricus Vinokurov &Luo should be excluded from Psallus. One or several characters in the roof of some phyline species (Atractotomus Fieber, Campylomma Reuter, Europiella Reuter, Phoenicocoris Reuter, Plagiognathus Fieber, Phylus Hahn, Sthenarus Fieber) appear to be distinct from those of Psallus species.

In Miridae, the roof (dorsal wall) of the female genital chamber (bursa copulatrix) is often neglected in taxonomic studies, rarely represented in its entirety and its importance is usually underestimated. It contains several organs that are relevant for taxonomy and phylogeny, namely the ringed glands (parieto-vaginal glands) encircled by the widely used sclerotized rings, the spermathecal gland (vermiform gland), and the lateral oviducts; it may also display various “dorsal sacs” or pouches and other poorly known structures. The comparison of 24 species belonging to seven mirid subfamilies, and various additional literature data, suggest that the general architecture of the roof and the topographic relations of its different organs may be used to ascertain relationships of higher taxa. Information is mainly provided on the “dorsal sac”, i.e. a very variable pouch-like structure usually medially located in the vicinity of the lateral oviducts and the spermathecal gland. The dorsal sac is derived from the roof of the genital chamber, i.e. is a differentiation of the vaginal wall, and cannot be derived from the common oviduct as claimed by several authors. Apparently, the common oviduct does not exist in Miridae. A dorsal sac, variously shaped, occurs within most subfamilies examined (Cylapinae, Orthotylinae, Phylinae, Bryocorinae, Deraeocorinae, Mirinae). Some representatives of the tribe Mirini and Stenodemini (Mirinae) exhibit two types of dorsal sac. The subfamily Isometopinae as well as some species in each of the other subfamilies examined seem to be devoid of dorsal sac. Apparently, dorsal sacs are adaptive pouches which receive and lodge some parts of the phallus during copulation. At species level, the dorsal sac is informative in providing diagnostic characters. At supraspecific levels (genus, tribe, subfamily) the dorsal sac must be examined jointly with other equally informative structures of the roof: architecture of the sclerotized rings; location of the spermathecal gland; location, length and aspect of the lateral oviducts; aspect and size of the infoldings of the lateral margins of the genital chamber (mainly in Phylinae and Orthotylinae); shape of the genital chamber in dorsal view; and the presence, aspect and size of the paired lateral apodemes of the genital chamber.
This paper gives, for the first time, a faunistic list of terrestrial Heteroptera (Leptopodomorpha, Cimicomorpha and Pentatomomorpha) known to occur in Lebanon. The list is based on examination and identification by the first author of specimens preserved in various collections and on reliable published records. A total of 231 species and subspecies belonging to 161 genera and 26 families are recorded for the country. Among these species, 71 belonging to 60 genera and 11 families are not cited in the Catalogue of the Heteroptera of the Palaearctic Region (Aukema & Rieger, 1995–2006; Aukema et al., 2013; Aukema 2018–2022), as being present in Lebanon, and thus may be considered as new for the country. A list of 18 species of terrestrial Heteroptera housed at the Lebanese University Collection is also given but these identifications need to be verified.
