Abstract

The presumed lost type of Arma pallipes Dallas is found and Thomas?s (1992) neotype is hereby set aside (ICZN 1999, Art. 75.8). A. pallipes is proposed as junior subjective synonym of Podisus ventralis (Dallas). A lectotype designation by inference of holotype (Gaedike 1971) is accepted for the female typical specimen of P. neniator deposited at Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut (SDEI, M?ncheberg, Germany) (ICZN 1999, Art. 74.6). Two new species of Podisus Herrich-Sch?ffer are described: Podisus graziae Brugnera, Roell \& Lema?tre sp. nov. and Podisus thomasi Lema?tre, Roell \& Brugnera sp. nov. Photographs of all types as well as of live specimens are provided. (AU)
