Abstract
The lacebug tribe Ceratocaderini (Tingidae: Cantacaderinae) is reviewed. The tribe comprises five genera from the Southern Hemisphere: Allocader Drake, Australocader Lis, Caledoderus Guilbert, Ceratocader Drake, and Coolacader gen. nov. The tribe is restricted to the Australian and New Caledonian regions. This revision includes the description of a new genus, Coolacader gen. nov. and six new species from three other genera: Australocader porchi sp. nov., Ceratocader piae sp. nov., Ceratocader spiculas sp. nov., Coolacader cupido sp. nov., Coolacader kardia sp. nov. and Coolacader valentine sp. nov. The nymph of Ceratocader is detailed for the first time, and the nymphs of three species of Coolacader gen. nov. are described. Allocader cordatus (Hacker, 1927) is transferred to Coolacader gen. nov., resulting in a new combination Coolacader cordatus (Hacker, 1927) comb. nov., and Allocader nesiotes Drake & Ruhoff, 1962 is transferred to the genus Caledoderus, resulting in a new combination Caledoderus nesiotes (Drake & Ruhoff, 1962) comb. nov.. This work increases the number of species in the tribe from 13 to 19. A revised key to the genera and species of the Ceratocaderini is provided.
