Cassis (1986), in his doctoral dissertation, subsequently elevated all subgenera of Cyrtopeltis, including Engytatus, to full genus status, a taxonomic arrangement subsequently followed in the catalog of Schuh (1995), thus validating Zimmerman‘s previous interpretation. Asquith (1992) described yet another Hawaiian Cyrtopeltis species, but gave no subgeneric assignment, and made no comment regarding his decision to use this genus name in preference to Engytatus . In the current work, all Hawaiian species formerly assigned to Cyrtopeltis are considered to fall within the generic limits of Engytatus as it is currently interpreted. In addition to the endemic Hawaiian species, another widespread Engytatus species, E. modestus (Distant), has also been introduced to the Hawaiian Islands, where it is a pest of tomato and other agricultural crops (Tanada and Holdaway 1954).</p><p>Following a modest amount of targeted collecting and taxonomic scrutiny from 1930-1968, Hawaiian Engytatus species have been infrequently collected or discussed in the scientific literature over the past 45 years. However, more recent records for previously described species, listed below, as well as the discovery of a new species, as reported herein, indicate that these insects are still present, even on the heavily developed island of Oahu, in areas of native forest. Overall, Engytatus species seem to be generally overlooked due to their inconspicuous habits and specialized associations with increasingly rare host plants.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8917017869C286603254D1F8E0ED8434	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Henry for his many years of scientific effort devoted to the study of Heteroptera, particularly Miridae .</p><p>Discussion.</p><p>Engytatus henryi runs to E. cyrtandrae in the key of Gagné (1968), by virtue of its parallel-sided form, pale dorsal pubescence, elongation of the head behind the eyes, uniformly pale antennae, and pale-colored body and wings with only a small dark mark at the extreme apex of the cuneus (Fig. 1). It differs from E. cyrtandrae in its larger size, with the overall length across both sexes being 3.90-4.10 mm, versus 3.13-3.28 mm in E. cyrtandrae; by having a much different set of structures at the apex of the pygophore, consisting of two small, rounded lobes on the right side (Figs 2, 3) and a large, hooked lobe on the left (Figs 5, 7), rather than a pair of more developed processes on the right side, one acuminate and the other bulb-like, as in E. cyrtandrae (see figs 5 a–b in Gagné 1968); and by the shapes of the male parameres (Figs 4, 6).</p><p>Ecological notes . The type series of E. henryi was taken from a stand of Abutilon sandwicense (Fig. 8) in a fenced enclosure along the middle reach of Kaluaa Gulch, on the windward side of the Waianae Mountains in western Oahu. Abutilon sandwicense is a sprawling to arborescent, large-leaved shrub that was formerly common in the understory of Hawaiian mesic forests, but has been badly reduced in extent by wildland fire and the depredations of feral pigs, such that it is now listed as Endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A57E1CA18E32E4C54C2DA9CFBD1E3026	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The current nomenclatural adjustment thus aligns the species binomial with current taxonomy.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E388CD3A07302094A04CC4502D407890	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gagné (BPBM); 1 male, 1 female, Koolau Mountains, Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve, Kului Gulch, 400 m, 31 January 1971, on Cyrtandra cordifolia W. C. Gagné (BPBM).</p><p>Ecological notes .</p><p>Three species of Hawaiian Engytatus, all of them endemic to Oahu, appear to be exclusively associated with the host-plant genus Cyrtandra in the Gesneriaceae, which contains 58 endemic Hawaiian species, all apparently derived from a single colonizing ancestor (Wagner et al. 1999, Cronk et al. 2005). Previously, Gagné (1968) speculated that specialization on individual species within this diverse local plant radiation could be a significant species isolating mechanism within Hawaiian Engytatus .</p><p>In regard to E. terminalis, Gagné (1968) noted its association with Cyrtandra, but did not specify which species was involved. Bishop Museum specimens collected subsequent to his study bear host-plant labels indicating that they were taken on C. cordifolia Gaudichard. More recently, specimens have been taken on the slopes of Mt. Tantalus, in the Koolau Mountains behind Honolulu, from Cyrtandra cf. sandwicensis . The host-plant determination for these latter specimens is provisional because hybrids between C. sandwicensis (H. Léveillé) H. St. John &amp; Storey and C. grandiflora Gaudichard are known to occur in the Mt. Tantalus area, based on Bishop Museum herbarium specimens, but the large, pubescent leaves of the plants in question are most similar to those of C. sandwicensis . It therefore appears that E. terminalis occurs on at least two Cyrtandra species in the Koolau Mountains. Other Gagné specimens in the Bishop Museum from Kaluaa Gulch, in the Waianae Mountains, are recorded as having been taken on C. christophersenii H. St. John &amp; Storey, which is now considered a hybrid of C. waianaeensis H. St. John &amp; Storey and C. garnotiana Gaudichard (Wagner et al. 1999). Engytatus terminalis thus utilizes a minimum of three species of Cyrtandra across Oahu as a whole, to some extent invalidating the hypothesis of Gagné (1968) that individual host-plant association would prove to be a species isolating mechanism in the genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3A01458218D990694AAE3D5198D0EB0C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
