ABSTRACT
The rare Neotropical Discocephalini (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) monotypic genus Glyphuchus Stål, 1860 and its type species Glyphuchus sculpturatus Stål, 1860 are known only from the female holotype. Here, they are redescribed based on a recently collected specimen and on the holotype. The male of the genus is described for the first time based on a specimen collected in a protected area of the Atlantic Rain Forest, in southeastern Brazil. General morphology and male and female genitalia are described and compared to those of other Discocephalini genera. Photos of the main morphological characters are presented, as well as photos of the living and preserved specimens. The relevance of protected areas for studies on biodiversity and natural history is highlighted.

Dinidor jograziae sp. nov., is described. The new species can be recognized by the relatively shorter mandibular plates which do not come in contact with each other anterior to the clypeus, by the dark brown hemelytral membranes, with darker, reticulate veins, and by having a relatively large portion of the connexiva exposed. We provide high-resolution photographs of important characters such as the head, pronotum, and the male and female external genitalia. We also provide new locality records for D. saucius from southern and southeastern Brazil, including the Atlantic Rain Forest region in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São Paulo.
