A revision of Neomegalotomus (Hemiptera: Alydidae).

We recognize two species in Neomegalotomus, N. parvus (Westwood), the type species; and N. rufipes (Westwood).

The correct name of the neotropical soybean bug (Hemiptera: Alydidae).

A species of Neomegalotomus is an occasional pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] in the neotropics, including in Brazil. It was known as Neomegalotomus parvus (Westwood); but the discovery of the type specimen of a species described earlier requires that the name be changed to Neomegalotomus simplex (Westwood), which becomes the correct name for the soybean pest.
