Abstract: Nabidomiris Poppius, 1914 is an African plant bug genus with three described
species. Here we describe as new a fourth, Nabidomiris natalensis sp. nov. from
KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), and compare it to the other known species. Because
male genitalia are important for species delimitation, and it has never been
documented for any of the species of Nabidomiris, we describe for the first time
the male genitalia of N. clypealis Poppius, 1914, N. longipennis Odhiambo, 1958,
and N. giloicus Linnavuori, 1975. We provide a key to separate all species, and
new country records for the previously described species. Nabidomiris clypealis
is recorded for the first time from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and
South Africa, N. giloicus from Cameroon, and N. longipennis from Tanzania.
