Abstract

A new species, Chlorocoris charluzae Thomas (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), is de¬scribed from Panama. Eludocoris grandis Thomas is reported from Panama for the first time. The distribution of Chlorocoris rufispinus Dallas to include Panama is confirmed. Arawacoris Thomas, described as a subgenus of Chlorocoris Spinola, is elevated to full genus.
