2F252D539A4FC463FF61FBEAFCD63262.taxon	description	There are multiple taxonomical treatments for the identification of the species of this tribe, the following genera have been recently keyed or reviewed: Cnemyrtus Stål (Brailovsky 1989), Curtius Stål (Brailovsky 1986 b), Himella Dallas (Brailovsky & Barrera 1986 a), Melucha Amyot & Serville (Brailovsky & Barrera 2014), Neoquintius Brailovsky & Barrera (Brailovsky & Barrera 2019), Pachylis Le Peletier & Serville (Brailovsky & Guerrero 2014; Brailovsky et al. 1994), Piezogaster Amyot & Serville (Dealy 2000) and Quintius Stål (Brailovsky & Barrera 1986 b). For Grammopoecilus Stål, Mozena Amyot & Serville, Nematopus Berthold and Saguntus Stål comparison with the original descriptions and type specimens is necessary, although the validity of Grammopoecilus angustatus (Herrich-Schäffer) has been questioned by Garcete-Barrett (2016). Since the tribe presents a marked sexual dimorphism mainly in the development of the hind legs, the sex of the photographed specimen is indicated in the corresponding figures.	en	Serna-Muñoz, Sebastian, Wolff, Marta (2024): Leaf-footed Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) of Colombia: Annotated checklist, distribution, and description of a new species.

Eubule - Pro, meso and metathorax without a pleural black spot ............................................... Spartocera Regarding the species identification, the species of Sephina were recently reviewed by Brailovsky & Barrera (2021), while Spartocera and Eubule lacks modern revisional works, although for the latter genus it is useful to refer to the description of some species by Brailovsky (1992 a). With this contribution, 22 Colombian species of Spartocerini are known, 11 of which are new records.	en	Serna-Muñoz, Sebastian, Wolff, Marta (2024): Leaf-footed Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) of Colombia: Annotated checklist, distribution, and description of a new species.

2F252D539A79C456FF61F93AFD6334DB.taxon	description	Currently, the only available key to identify the Colombian species of this tribe is that of Brailovsky (2000) for the genus Egerniella, while also offers diagnostic illustrations for the species of Himellastella Brailovsky & Barrera. Furthermore, Zurique & Lanuza-Garay (2020) discussed the species of Acocopus Stål, their diagnostic characters and pointed out the possibility that they could correspond to the same taxon. Six species compose this tribe in the country, with three first recorded here.	en	Serna-Muñoz, Sebastian, Wolff, Marta (2024): Leaf-footed Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) of Colombia: Annotated checklist, distribution, and description of a new species.

2F252D539A68C442FF61F88EFEBF36C3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Sundarellus orinoquensis can be distinguished from the other species of the genus Sundarellus by having the pronotal disc, thoracic pleura, and metathoracic peritreme completely orange, as well as by having the antennal segment I, femora, and tibiae reddish brown. In Sundarellus tiputinus Brailovsky & Barrera, the pronotal disc, thoracic pleura, and metathoracic peritreme are bicolored (bright orange and black), while the antennal segment I and legs are entirely orange (Brailovsky & Barrera 2020). The dorsal coloration and pronotum shape of S. orinoquensis is similar to those of Malvanaioides decorata Brailovsky but the latter has a prorrect head, with the tylus and jugum with the characteristic shape of the tribe Anisoscelini, projecting far forward, well beyond the antenniferous tubercles and all femora spinose below (Brailovsky 2009 c).	en	Serna-Muñoz, Sebastian, Wolff, Marta (2024): Leaf-footed Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) of Colombia: Annotated checklist, distribution, and description of a new species.

Name given for the type localities located on the Colombian portion of the Orinoco basin.	en	Serna-Muñoz, Sebastian, Wolff, Marta (2024): Leaf-footed Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) of Colombia: Annotated checklist, distribution, and description of a new species.

2F252D539A68C442FF61F88EFEBF36C3.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The male of S. tiputinus continues to be undescribed, and so we are unable to compare the male genitalia with that of this new species. Mattei & Mattei (2017), together with the Piaroa indigenous communities, catalogued some of the coreids found in the surroundings of Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela. Their Figures 86 and 87 correspond, respectively, to a male and female of S. tiputinus, which is also the first record of the species outside of Ecuador. In these two photographs, it is possible to observe sexual dimorphism like that found in the species described here, where the humeral angles of the female are wider (Figs. 342 – 346). The presence of a conical tubercle in the male pygophore could be a useful character in the separation of this genus from other closely related ones. Cases like this highlight the importance of citizen science and the participation of communities in the generation of knowledge.	en	Serna-Muñoz, Sebastian, Wolff, Marta (2024): Leaf-footed Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) of Colombia: Annotated checklist, distribution, and description of a new species.
