**Pegs, Pouches, and Spines:**
Systematics and Comparative Morphology of the New World Litter Bug Genus *Chinannus* Wygodzinsky, 1948

By A. Knyshov, S. Leon, R. Hoey-Chamberlain, and C. Weirauch

Dipsocoromorpha, the minute litter bugs, are minuscule true bugs with substantial undescribed biodiversity. The authors of the newest Thomas Say Monograph taxonomically revise the genus *Chinannus* Wygodzinsky, 1948 (Dipsocoromorpha: Schizopteridae: Ogeriinae), describe 26 new species, and expand the known natural range of species in the genus to span most countries between Nicaragua and Bolivia.
