Descripción
Sumario:A new genus of Larginae (Largidae), <i>Parvacinocoris</i>, is described to include a new species from Argentina and Paraguay, and <i>P. stehliki</i> (Doesburg) new combination, a species previously placed in <i>Acinocoris</i>, previously known from Surinam and Venezuela and in this paper recorded also from Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala. This new genus is similar to <i>Acinocoris</i> however it may be separated by the smaller size, the shorter antennae, the immaculate abdominal sterna, the shape of the parameres, and the presence of a pair of hook‐like processes on the aedeagal conjunctiva. Photographs of dorsal and lateral habitus of both sexes as well as the male genitalia of the new species are included.
