Abstract:

A checklist of the known genera, subgenera, and species of the coreine tribe Colpurini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from the Philippine Republic is given. Four new species, Hygia (Eucolpura) cassisi, Hygia (Sphinctocolpura) alvarezi, Hygia (Sphinctocolpura) oligotricha, and Kekihygia culiona, are described. Dorsal habitus illustrations and drawings of the pronotum and male genital capsule are provided to distinguished these species. Hygia (Colpura) obscuricornis (Stal) is synonymized with Hygia (Colpura) pallidicornis (Stal).
