Abstract

The genus Geocoris Fallén, 1814 is recorded for the first time from Peru. Five new species are described: G. castanoae, G. flatus, G. genuinus, G. infrequens, and G. navus. Geocoris sobrinus (Blanchard, 1852) is recorded for the first time from Peru. Geocoris barrosi Porter, 1917 is considered a synonym of the nominal species Geocoris sobrinus (Blanchard, 1852). A key to the six species known from Peru is included, with photographs of the dorsal habitus, and parameres of some species
