APRESENTAÇÃO
No ano de 1876, precisamente em seu dia 26 de março, lançava o então Diretor do Museu Nacional, o Dr. Ladislau de Souza Mello e Netto, o primeiro volume dos “Archivos do Museu Nacio- nal do Rio de Janeiro”, com finalidade de “dar conta das investigações e trabalhos realizados no estabelecimento. . . etc”, havendo preferências pelos trabalhos originais de seu pessoal docente.
O volume precedente, de nº LV, editado em 1975, antecedeu de um ano ao centenário do periódico, ocorrido em 1976. Dificuldades de suprimento financeiro impossibilitaram a publicação do número LVI. Finalmente, agora mercê da compreensão do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvi- mento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), pode dispor o Museu de recursos bastantes para lançar a presente tiragem.
Assume, assim, o número LVI dos Arquivos, o caráter singular de número comemorativo do 1º centenário do mais antigo periódico dedicado às ciências naturais e antropológicas do país.
E que significa isto? Cem anos de pesquisa — gerações e gerações de cientistas, pesquisadores, professores e técnicos debruçados, dia após dia, sobre a realidade biológica e cultural sediada no espaço físico e político ocupado pela nação brasileira. E, como consegiiência as maiores coleções, levantadas em todo o território nacional, de amostras e exemplares ilustrativos da riqueza biológica e geológica e da diversificação cultural integrantes do nosso patrimônio natural, etnográfico, arqueo- lógico e bio-antropológico, concentrados em seus Departamentos e servindo de lastro básico para uma riquíssima gama de pesquisas, teses, monografias e artigos científicos e de divulgação cultural.
O centenário dos Arquivos passou, no momento exato, sem maiores comemorações, e a bem dizer quase desapercebido. Parece ter havido esquecimento quanto a essa realidade fundamental de que as nações sem história são também nações sem futuro. A própria história é um cemitério de comunidades que olvidaram a autovalorização de seus feitos e de suas tradições. Como reverso da medalha vemos nações que, com tradição forte e definida vocação nacional, sobreviveram às mais graves crises e se perpetuaram ao longo do tempo histórico fiéis a sua identidade política e étnica.
Possa o presente volume dos Arquivos do Museu Nacional, ao acentuar as finalidades da Instituição, em obediência aos desígnios que a fizeram nascer e crescer, contribuir para que autori- dades e agências de apoio à cultura e à pesquisa venham a melhor conhecer e avaliar a importância de termos periódico científico de seu quilate, e enfileirar-se dentre os congêneres mais antigos das Américas e, ao mesmo tempo, exemplificar a ânsia de crescer e de conhecer que tem sido uma das características mais típicas do processo de evolução do Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro.

CONTRIBUIÇÃO AQ CONHECIMENTO DOS FANNIA R. D., 1830 DA REGIÃO NEOTROPICAL
(DIPTERA, FANNIIDAE) - (Com 60 figuras)
O material que nos serviu de base para este traba- lho é o da coleção do Museu Nacional da UFRJ e não é uma amostra suficientemente significativa para maiores inferências. Adotamos linha eclética tendo como eixo HENNIG (1965), juntando caracteres não considerados de maior relevância filogenética (HENNIG £c), porém auxilia o grupamento de espécies.
O conhecimento dos Fannia R. -D., 1830 neotropi- cais é fragmentário, daí acreditarmos válida a nossa con- tribuição.
Reconhecemos 8 grupos e 3 subgrupos. Por cami- nhos quase diferentes chegamos a conclusões semelhan- tes às de CHILLCOTT (1961). Na América do Sul os grupos mais encontradiços são de espécies como as Fan- nia castanhas, listradas no dorso e com o fêmur HI dila- tado ou não no ápice, com grupo de cerdas ciliformes ou não. O subgrupo petrocchiae pelo plesiomorfismo que apresenta, fronte larga e as cerdas frontais retrodirigidas,

é sobremaneira característico da região neotropical e foi incluído no grupo canicularis pela ausência do processo baciliforme. Encontra-se também na América do Sul um grupo bem peculiar, grupo anthracina, conhecido do pa- ralelo quinze para o Sul.
Apresentamos uma chave para grupos, uma chave para subgrupos, uma chave para espécies, esta respaldada por descrições sinópticas das espécies já bem conhecidas e abundantes ilustrações. A chave para espécies não pre- tende relacionar os grupos, apenas facilitar a identifi- cação.
Foram redescritas e figuradas as espécies mal co- nhecidas na liiteratura e apresentamos duas espécies novas.
Pela dificuldade de ajustar machos e fêmeas nos grupos só estão representados na chave os machos, e as fêmeas grupadas de acordo com a genitália.

THE BRYOCORINAE OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA (HEMIPTERA, MIRIDAE)
Ê (With 200 text-figures)
This paper is a follow up of the study being undertaken with the Miridae of Papua New Guinea based on collections assembled by the Bernice P. Bishop Mu- seum, Honolulu, Hawaii.
The author wishes to present thanks to Doctors J. L. Gressitt, Wayne C. Gagné and G. M. Nishida who arranged for this work.
lHlustrations in the text were prepared by Luiz Antonio Alves Costa, Paulo Roberto Nascimento and Paulo Wallerstein under the author's supervision.
Types are deposited in the Entomological Collec- tion of the B. P. Bishop Museum and paratypes may be found also in the author's collection.
Bryocorinae Baerensprung, 1860
Bryocorides Baerensprung, Rep. Berf. Ent. 4:13.
Miridae with a single-celled membrane or when this is not the case with distally dilated tarsi, elongate guard setae, pulvilli on the inner claw surface and usual- ly with pulvillar combs, parempodia setiform (as a pair of straight hairs).
The subfamily has the majority of species distribu- ted on equatorial and tropical areas of the world, Most forms feed on thick leaves plants such as Bromeliaceae, Orchidaceae, Araceae and Esterculiaceae.
Type genus of the family: Bryocoris Fallen, 1829.

This tribe comprises a group of genera with very short first antennal segment which is usually incrassate, equal in length to half the width of vertex, about as long as wide, most species are of large size, compact, with coarsely punctured pronotum and strongly inflated (cystiform) scutellum.
Type genus of tribe: Odoniella Haglund, 1895
Most species of the tribe are pests of cacao and of economical importance. The tribe comprises bizarre forms mostly with dull color. Some African species have the antennae longer than half the width of vertex and the scutellum not cystiform, in this case the membrane has auxiliary veins or the head has three pointed tuber- cles anteriorly.

MILLER (1957) pointed out correctly that Parabryocoropsis cheesmannae China & Carvalho and Parabryocoropsis dunni China & Carvalho should be transferred to Pseudodoniella China & Carvalho.
Recently (May, 1977) the senior author had the opportunity to study the types in the British Museum of Natural History, London. Types of Pseudodoniella laensis Miller and Pseudodoniella szentivanyi Miller were also checked. A careful study of the types and also a long series from Papua New Guinea has revealed that this species shows a fairly wide range of color, which will include faensis, szentivanyi and dunni as synonyms of pacifica China & Carvalho. The genus Pseudodoniella as well as Parabryocoropsis thus remain with a single species. The author feel no reason to give names for the side range of color variation in pacífica.

Head about as long as wide, with a distinct neck, vertex slightly sulcate, eyes placed at middle of head, prominent, hemispherical; rostrum short, reaching the hind margin of metasternum; antenna long and slender with segment | distinctly clavate apically (subgenus Helopeitis Signoret), segments [-IV long and slender, with hairs as long as or longer than thickeness of segments.
Pronotum smooth, constricted anteriorly, calli not well marked, collar distinct, hind margin of disc straight, humeral angles rounded, lateral margins narrowing towards head; scuttelum small, somewhat rounded, punctured, with a long cylindrical process raised up- wards and ending in a mushroon-like knob.
Hemelytra glabrous, narrowed at middle, embo- Hum well marked, cuneus much longer than wide at base, narrowed and curved, membrane long, areola large, apical end of nervure broadly angulous.
Legs very long and siender, femora noticeably nodulose (subgenus Helopeitis Signoret).
Type species of genus: He/opeltis antonii Signoret, 1858.
This genus is easily recognized among others of the tribe by the long scutellar raised process. It has consider-
39
able economic importance since species attack cocoa, tea and cinchona, being well distributed over tropical and equatorial areas of the Oriental and Ethiopic Regions.

Hemelytra translucent, clavus usually with long and erect hairs, embolium well defined, cuneus slightly longer than wide at base; membrane with areola rounded apically.
Legs long and slender, with long erect hairs.
Type species of genus: Felisacus giabratus (Mots- chulsky, 1863).
Due to genital characters and type of antenna we prefer to place this genus in the tribe Bryocorini rather than to include it with the Monaloniini species. The genus is Indo-Pacific and all species known so far feed on
61
ferns. Species show much variation in color reasom why only fully mature specimens should be considered for specific keys.

Combalus Distant, Faun. Brit. Ind. Rhync. 2:431, 1904.
Species with body compact, ovoid, pubescence fine and erect, pronotum finely punctulate.
Head wider than long, frons rounded, vertex flat, immarginate; eyes small, placed at middle of heaú, somewhat removed from collar, this distance being about equal to thickness of first antennal segment; rostrum reaching apex of mesosternum; antenna with segment | longer than width of vertex, distinctly narrower at basal half, segment Il more than twice as long as |, segments III-|V slender, pubescence long, length of hairs greater than width of segments.
Pronotum finely punctate, pilose, hind margin of disc widely rounded, lateral margins narrowing towards head, straight, calli small, smooth, collar narrow, distinct; mesosternum covered; scutellum small, flat.
Hemelytra with sides parallel, embolium wide, explanate, cuneus about as long as wide at base, areolar membrane small, nervure rounded apicallyv.
Legs slender, densely pilose.
Type species of genus Hekista laudator Kirkaldy, 1902
The genus is very close to Bryocoris Fallen, 1829
J. C. M. CARVALHO
but differs by having a longer rostrum (reaching the middle coxae) and by the absence of brachypterous females. Differs from Monalocoris Dahlbom, 1851 by having the first antennal segment longer than width of vertex, by the sides of hemelytra parallel and by the cuneus noticeably longer than wide at base.
Further studies are needed to clear up relation-
ships of these three genera since they have a common fascies.
