摘要

Peritropis waclawi a new species of Cylapinae is described on the basis of a single specimen collected in Namibia. The dorsal habitus of the new species is illustrated.The subfamily Cylapinae is a relatively small group of mirids inhabiting warm regions of the world. Most its representatives are probably fungivorous, although some of them are also carnivorous (gorczyca 2000, 2006, PLUOT-SlGWALT & CHEROT 2013). The genus Peritropis Uhler, 1891 is one of the most numerous in species within the subfamily occurring mostly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Most species of the genus inhabit the Afrotropical Region, from where almost 30 species have been described (Gorczyca 2006), and in South America where 21 species are known (Wolski & Henry 2012).
