Torax: pronotum yellow to reddish, or with posterior pronotal lobe dark brown; collar yellow, orange or black; mesoscutum yellow to reddish; scutellum brown to black or yellow, in some species yellow with dark areas; pleura yellow to reddish. Hemelytron: yellow, black, or yellow with brown to black areas; membrane and veins yellow or brown, or anterior half dark and posterior half yellow.

Abdomen: yellow or dark brown to black. Surface: shiny; posterior pronotal lobe evenly punctate; head dorsally with some recumbent setae, ventrally with longer and more abundant setae; antennal segment I with recumbent setae, II–IV with semierect setae; collar, pronotum, and hemelytra with abundant, short, semierect setae; veins of membrane with very short setae; pleura and abdomen with semierect setae; coxae, trochanters, femora, and tibiae with short, semierect setae, dorsal setae of femora usually as long as ventral setae. Structure: Head: more than 2× as wide as long; clypeus visible dorsally (except A. explanata comb. nov.), rounded in lateral view; frons rounded or flat in lateral view; vertex globose, wider than head length; eyes medium to large, sessile, more than half head height, upper margin not ataining dorsal margin of head, inner and posterior margins straight; inner margin inside or at level with lateral collar margin; labrum rounded in lateral view, long; gula visible; labium extending to mesosternum; antennal segment I long, widened towards apex; II, thinner and longer than I; III, thinner than II, narrowing towards apex; IV slender. Torax: anterior margin of collar straight or concave and posterior margin convex; pronotum bell-shaped; calli small to large, separated from each other by a median depression; posterior pronotal lobe flat, with shallow lateral depressions before humeral angles, posterior margin convex (straight in A. fumentaria comb. nov. and A. panamensis ); mesoscutum exposed. Hemelytron: lateral margins parallel to convex; R + M extending to cuneal fracture; cuneus longer than wide, inner margin straight; veins roundly angled before the middle length of membrane, directed posteriorly, and passing apex of cuneus. Legs: profemora slightly widened at base; metafemora slightly curved. Male genitalia: genital capsule short, less than one-quarter of abdomen length, wider than long; genital aperture small and facing caudally; right wall as long as lef wall; dorsal wall less developed than ventral wall; supragenital bridge strongly sclerotized. Lef paramere similar to right paramere, strongly curved, hook-shaped; basal and apical processes narrower than body. Right paramere curved; basal and apical processes narrower than body. Aedeagus small; phallotheca membranous with some sclerotized areas or totally sclerotized, curved and slightly curving to the lef relative to the phallobase; seminal duct broad, membranous and slightly folded basally; apex of endosoma sclerotized.

Distribution: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela ( Fig. 6).

Discussion: Te phylogenetic analysis recovered this genus as originally conceived as paraphyletic and as the sister-group of the clade formed by Pocnoderes quadrimaculatus + ( Parafurius discifer + Paraneella amazonica ). It is supported by 12 synapomorphies. Five continuous characters: total length (0:078– 0792), and the following relations: labrum length/labial segment I length (4: 0.123 –0.124), antennal segment I, length/ antennal segment II (6: 0.229 –0.244), medial fracture length/ corium length (14:0.028), and genital capsule length/abdomen length (16:0.011); six discrete contradictory synapomorphic characters: labrum slightly globose (29:1), surface of collar smooth (43:0) and with recumbent setae (45:0), calli separated (48:0), inner margin of cuneus sinuate (71:1), medial angle of membrane cell acute (77:1), and supragenital bridge present (111:1); and a discrete synapomorphic character: phallotheca slightly inclined to the lef (147:0). Te GC frequencies indicate a low support due to high contradictory information ( Fig. 7).

Carvalho (1960), in the original description of Adneella , stated that it is related to Neella , Neoneella , Paraneella , and Proneella . In our results, Adneella and Paraneella are located in a different clade from Neella , Proneella , and Neoneella , showing a more distant and complex relationship than assumed previously. In addition, Carvalho (1960) designated Neella distincta as type species, and suggested that four Neella species should also be transferred to this genus. In our analysis, Carvalho’s (1960) hypothesis was verified and Neella explanata , Neella fumentaria , Neella cuneata , and Neella nigronotata are transferred to Adneella , as well as Neella decarloi .

Included species: E. chaparensis Mingheti et al., 2024 E. dimorphus Mingheti et al., 2024

E. ecuatorianus Mingheti et al., 2024

Discussion: Tis genus was recently described to include three species from Bolivia and Ecuador. Egerocoris is recovered as the sister-group of the clade, including Neoneella and Puncticollus gen. nov., and is supported by six synapomorphies: five discrete contradictory synapomorphic characters: eyes covering laterally collar (22:1), dorsal wall of genital capsule with sclerotizations (97:1), posterior margin of ventral wall of the genital capsule sinuate (103:0), lef wall of genital capsule shorter than right wall (107:2), and lef paramere triangular (136:1), and one discrete synapomorphic character: lef paramere with distal extreme basally curved (141:1).
