Diagnosis.

Male length 5.2–5.3 mm. Ocular commissure> 1 / 3 of eye width. Scutellum with hyaline apex; ventral surface of middle trochanter with a group of ensiform bristles. Hemelytra of brachypterous specimens with medial longitudinal hyaline stripe wide, tapering from base of hemelytra up to coastal margin in membrane suture; wide range of hemelytral process stripe, 25 % up to 40 % of hemelytral length; hemelytral process shorter than membrane length (Fig. 9 A View Figure 9 ).

Taxonomic notes.

Martarega bentoi is a medium-sized species that is very common and widespread in Brazil. It is very similar to M. uruguayensis (Berg, 1883) , but can be distinguished from it after examination of the hyaline band on the hemelytra of coleopteroid specimens (Fig. 9 A View Figure 9 ), or the different position of the ensiform bristles on the middle trochanter. Also, it differs from Martarega brasiliensis and M. membranacea , the other two species found in this survey, by the combination of a scutellum with a hyaline apex and the middle trochanter with ensiform bristles.
