Go to homepage of Florida Entomologist on WWW for more information about this service. Each genus and subgenus is described or redescribed and a key to genera, subgenera and species is included. Line drawings of head, metapleuron, spermatheca, ovipositor, parameres, and aedeagus are provided, as well as a cladistic analysis of the genera. In this paper we describe the fourth species of the genus, and the second species of Hadrosomus from the West Indies proper. This new species is described at this time to make the name available for the faunistic study of the Lygaeidae of the West Indies in progress by the senior author and J. A. Slater, University of Connecticut.
