Hebrus murphyi, new species (Heteroptera : Hebridae) from an intertidal mangrove habitat in Burias Island, Philippines

摘要

Hebrus murphyi, new species, from Burias Island, Philippines, is described. It is closely related to H. nereis Polhemus & Polhemus, 1989, and H. mangrovensis Polhemus & Polhemus, 1989, and - like these species - inhabits the intertidal zone of mangroves. Hebrus murphyi is only known in the apterous morph, which is very rarely encountered in Hebridae. Hebrus murphyi is the first known species of Hebridae, which lacks a metanotal elevation (in this morph).
