Taxonomic notes.

Buenoa konta and B. salutis are the two smallest species of Buenoa occurring in Brazil. The former has a conspicuous blackish brown hoof print-like pattern on the hemelytra in dorsal view. This mark, with other morphological features like the short labial prong and the wide apex of the fore femur, ensures an easy identification.
