On the basis of new survey, knowledge of Australia’s heteropteran fauna has been shown to have a significant taxonomic impediment, requiring the description of many new lineages. In this work we provide a monographic treatment of the lace bug genus Epimixia, including a phylogenetic analysis validating its monophyly. We redescribe the genus and previously described species E. alitophrosyne Kirkaldy, E. nigriceps (Signoret), E. nigripes dysmica Drake & Ruhoff, E. nigripes nigripes (Horvath), E. veteris Drake, E. vittata Horvath and E. vulturna (Kirkaldy). Eighteen new species are described, including the first recorded species from Papua New Guinea (E. gagnei, sp. nov.), a second species from New Caledonia (E. fulva, sp. nov.) and 16 new Australian species (E. aboccidente, sp. nov., E. acclivis, sp. nov., E. albimons, sp. nov., E. allocasuarina, sp. nov., E. bicolor, sp. nov., E. caerulamons, sp. nov., E. christopherdarwini, sp. nov., E. eneabba, sp. nov., E. kimberley, sp. nov., E. leai, sp. nov., E. megacosta, sp. nov., E. minor, sp. nov., E. pilbara, sp. nov., E. schuhi, sp. nov., E. tropica, sp. nov. and E. verticordiaphila, sp. nov.). Epimixia dysmica Drake & Ruhoff is elevated to species rank, from its previous subspeciefic status within E. nigripes. This work also reports host plants for Epimixia, predominantly belonging to the Casuarinaceae, with a handful of species associated with the Myrtaceae, Proteaceae and Fabaceae. Host plants are mapped to the Epimixia phylogeny, indicating that the Casuarinaceae-affiliated Epimixia species form a subclade. Area relationships of the Epimixia species are analysed using subtree analysis, resulting in the south-west and south-east corners of Australia being sisters, relative to the Adelaide subregion, and in turn to Atherton + New Caledonia. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E7FC4E37-517D-4AB7-A918-B9104D63AB25

澳大利亚、新喀里多尼亚和巴布亚新几内亚的羊角螟属 Epimixia Kirkaldy（昆虫纲：异翅目：Tingidae）的系统学和物种辐射

根据新的调查，澳大利亚的异翅目动物群的知识已被证明存在重大的分类障碍，需要描述许多新的谱系。在这项工作中，我们提供了花边虫属 Epimixia 的专题处理，包括验证其单系性的系统发育分析。我们重新描述了该属和先前描述的物种 E. alitophrosyne Kirkaldy、E. nigriceps (Signoret)、E. nigripes dysmica Drake & Ruhoff、E. nigripes nigripes (Horvath)、E. veteris Drake、E. vittata Horvath 和 E. vulturna (柯尔卡迪）。描述了 18 个新物种，包括来自巴布亚新几内亚的第一个记录物种（E. gagnei, sp. nov.）、来自新喀里多尼亚的第二个物种（E. fulva, sp. nov.）和 16 个新澳大利亚物种（E. gagnei, sp. nov.）。 aboccidente, sp. nov., E. acclivis, sp. nov., E. albimons, sp. nov., E. allocasuarina, sp. nov., E. bicolor, sp. nov., E. caerulamons, sp. 十一月，E. christopherdarwini，sp。十一月，E.eneabba，sp。十一月，E.金伯利，sp。nov., E. leai, sp. 十一月，E. megacosta，sp。十一月，E.小调，sp。十一月，E. pilbara，sp。十一月，E. schuhi，sp。nov., E. tropica, sp. 十一月 和 E. verticordiaphila, sp。十一月。）。Epimixiadysmica Drake & Ruhoff 从其先前在 E. nigripes 中的亚种地位提升到物种等级。这项工作还报告了 Epimixia 的寄主植物，主要​​属于木麻黄科，少数物种与桃金娘科、变形虫科和豆科植物有关。寄主植物被映射到 Epimixia 系统发育，表明木麻黄科附属 Epimixia 物种形成一个分支。使用子树分析分析 Epimixia 物种的面积关系，导致澳大利亚的西南角和东南角相对于阿德莱德次区域是姐妹，反过来又是阿瑟顿+新喀里多尼亚。http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E7FC4E37-517D-4AB7-A918-B9104D63AB25
