Abstract: Afromenotes hirsuta gen. & sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Dinidoridae:
Eumenotini) is described from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and compared
with its only close relative, the Oriental genus Eumenotes Westwood,
1844. Afromenotes hirsuta thus represents the first record of Eumenotini from
the Afrotropical Region. The external efferent system of the metathoracic scent
glands of E. obscura Westwood, 1846 is described in detail, and distribution
and host plants of Eumenotes species are reviewed. A list of known host plants
for larval Dinidoridae is compiled from literature. Eumenotes obscura is
recorded for the first time from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and several
territories within India (Uttarakhand), Indonesia (Bali, Mentawai Islands) and
Malaysia (Kelantan, Sabah, Tioman Island); E. pacao Esaki, 1922 is recorded
from Vietnam.
