Abstract

Characters of male genitalia and sternal coloration are used to supplement the variable characters of head shape and tegminal colour pattern in determining the species of the world Prosapia. Five new species are described: chiapana, hemelytra, ignifera, and isobar from Mexico, and fortior from Panama. One new combination is created: Prosapia miles (Fowler). Four subspecies are considered valid species: ignipectus (Fitch), inferens (Walker), ripalis Fennah (new status), and teapana Fennah (new status). P. simulons (Walker) (1858) is synonymized with fasciaticollis (Stål) (1864), and bicincta (Say) (1830) is synonymized with fraterna (Uhler) (1864). An illustrated key to males of the 14 world species is provided.
