A new genus and a new species of wasp-mimicking Harpactorini (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Reduviidae, Harpactorinae), with an updated key to the Neotropical genera.

ABSTRACT: Quasigraptocleptesmaracristinaegen. nov., sp. nov. (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Reduviidae, Harpactorinae, Harpactorini) is described based on male and female specimens from Brazil. Photographs and comments about the syntypes of Myocorisnigriceps Burmeister, 1835, Myocorisnugax Stål, 1872, Myocoristipuliformis Burmeister, 1838 and Xystonyttusichneumoneus (Fabricius, 1803) are presented. The intra-specific variability and sexual dimorphic characteristics among specimens of Q.maracristinaesp. nov. are recorded. General characteristics of Hiranetis Spinola, 1837, Graptocleptes Stål, 1866, Quasigraptocleptesgen. nov. and Parahiranetis Gil-Santana, 2015, which seem to be closer genera, are compared, in
