Formerly monobasic with O. hypomelas (Burmeister, 1835), one new species is here described, O. paranaensis n. sp. Illustrations of the external genitalia of both sexes are provided. Key words: Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Neotropical region, Ogmocoris, new species INTRODUCTION Grande do Sul (Brazil), but this species was determined to be a junior synonym of Tibraca limbativentris Stal, 1860, by Silva (1945). Costa Lima Burmeister (1835) described Atelocerus hypomelas (1947) considered the genus Ogmocoris to be a based on a female collected in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Mayr (1864) described the genus junior synonym of Tibraca Stal, 1860, but Fernandes & Grazia (1998) reinstated Ogmocoris. Ogmocoris to include A. hypomelas. Mayr (1866) redescribed and Ogmocoris considered it similar to MATERIALS AND METHODS Mecocephala Dallas, 1851. Walker (1868) described Ansa distincta based on a female from Amazon. Stal (1872) considered A. distincta as ajunior synonym of Ogmocoris hypomelas. Costa Lima (1935) The types of Ansa distincta andatelocerus hypomelas were examined. The specimens studied belong to the following described O. reinigeri from Porto Alegre, Rio collections: BMNH Natural History Museum, London, England (Dr M.
