Two species distributed in Australian Monsoonal Tropics (fig. 5).	en	Tatarnic, Nikolai J., Cassis, Gerasimos (2022): Turrana ejuncida, a new species of Acanthocorini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) from Cape Range, Western Australia, with discussion of its systematic position and host plant associations.

03C387CEFFF1FFB1FF78CAB1FDE6095B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Brailovsky (2007) hypothesised that Turrana is allied to Postleniatus, because of the elongate head (longer than wide), absence of a postocular tubercle, the concave posterior margin of the pronotum, the short legs, the unarmed femora, the flat ocelli and the deeply punctate hemelytra. Brailovsky (2007) distinguished Turrana from Postleniatus by AIII being longer than AII, the smaller eyes, the shorter labium (not reaching beyond the prosternum), the labial groove not extending to the metasternum, and the elongate female terminalia. Brailovsky (2007) also differentiated the other Australian acanthocorine genus Pomponatius from Turrana by its transverse head, ventrally armed femora, and the presence of a postocular tubercle, as well as it having shallower punctures. We have observed armed femora in Pomponatius, which were not illustrated in the habitus images of Brailovsky (2007). Turrana ejuncida sp. nov. is mostly consistent with the diagnostic characters given by Brailovsky (2007) but differs by the longer labium, which reaches near the posterior margin of the mesosternum: this character state separates it from T. abnormis and is more like Postleniatus glycosmisus. Nonetheless, T. ejuncida sp. nov. is undoubtedly congeneric with T. abnormis, and the revised diagnosis of Turrana herein excludes the very short labium character as given in Brailovsky (2007). Both Turrana species also have a clavate AIV as opposed to the fusiform shape found in Postleniatus glycosmisus.	en	Tatarnic, Nikolai J., Cassis, Gerasimos (2022): Turrana ejuncida, a new species of Acanthocorini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) from Cape Range, Western Australia, with discussion of its systematic position and host plant associations.

03C387CEFFF0FFB5FF78CB01FC2C08BF.taxon	biology_ecology	Hosts. Initial series collected from flowering Ipomoea yardiensis A. S. George shrubs (fig 6 A). This species is narrowly distributed in the Exmouth local government area of northwest Western Australia, where it is commonly found. It is a perennial shrub of about 1.5 metres, with broad grey-green leaves and purple tubular flowers. Additional specimens were subsequently collected from the dried base of Triodia epactia S. W. L. Jacobs (fig 6 B). This tussock-forming perennial is a “ soft spinifex and is coated with sticky resin on its green surfaces. DNA sequence data. Nucleotide data amplified from the holotype male WAME 106179 and paratype female WAME 106180 for the mitochondrial gene regions COI (accession numbers OL 457614 and OL 457615) and 16 S (OL 462857 and OL 462858) are available on GenBank.	en	Tatarnic, Nikolai J., Cassis, Gerasimos (2022): Turrana ejuncida, a new species of Acanthocorini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) from Cape Range, Western Australia, with discussion of its systematic position and host plant associations.

03C387CEFFF0FFB5FF78CB01FC2C08BF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Turrana ejuncida sp. nov. and T. abnormis are similar in morphology, with the new species differing by the longer labial segment which reaches beyond the midpoint of the mesosternum (cf. restricted to procoxae in the type species), the sparser distribution of scalelike setae, the absence of a keeled scutellum. Turrana abnormis is known from tropical Australia, with collection records from northern parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory, and the Kimberley region of Western Australia (Cassis & Gross 2002) (fig 5). Presently T. ejuncida sp. nov. appears to have a more southwestern distribution, known only from the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia (fig 5). The erection of T. ejuncida sp. nov. as a new species is based on comparison to the original description of T. abnormis by Distant (1911), observation of the syntype photograph of the species available online through the Coreoidea Species File (CoreoideaSF Team 2021), and observation of a single female specimen collected during a Bush Blitz survey in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (Palmer Creek, 15.956 ° S 127.57627 ° E, 5 June 2014, N. J. Tatarnic & J. Karras, WAM), and an additional six specimens from nearby Kununurra, as well as the diagnostic characters, including genital illustrations, given by Brailovsky (2007).	en	Tatarnic, Nikolai J., Cassis, Gerasimos (2022): Turrana ejuncida, a new species of Acanthocorini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) from Cape Range, Western Australia, with discussion of its systematic position and host plant associations.
