• Yuri A. POPOV

Abstract:

A new genus of the peculiar carnivorous bug, Empiploiariola, subfamily Emesinae, with one fossil species, Empiploiariola inermis n. sp. (Heteroptera, Reduviidae) from Dominican amber, supposedly from Lower Miocene of Haiti/Hispaniola, is described. Empiploiariola joins the tribe Ploiariolini, which also is discussed in the paper.
