dc.descriptionA new species of Salpingogaster is described from southern Brazil, S. distincta Mengual, Veríssimo & Auad sp. nov. The new species is very similar to the widespread S. nigra Schiner. We describe the new species in full and provide images and DNA barcodes of the closest species to differentiate them. Moreover, a RAPD analysis was performed to test its value to distinguish our new species from Salpingogaster nigra. Larvae and adults of the new species were collected in fields of elephant grass, Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone. Larvae of the new species are reported feeding on spittlebugs Mahanarva spectabilis and Aeneolamia contigua (Hemiptera: Cercopidae). Until now our efforts to rear the species in captivity have not been successful.
