Saccharosydne is the most diverse genus of the tribe Saccharosydnini. Male, female and nymphal Saccharosydne have been captured in recent collections from garlic (Allium sativum), rye (Secale cereale) and pampas grass (Cortaderia spp.) in Argentina. In this contribution, we describe and illustrate a new species S. subandina sp. nov., adding information on the geographical distribution and host plants. Saccharosydne subandina can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of features: uniformly light green-yellowish color with a distinctive rounded black macula on both genae; vertex 1.5x longer than wide, and projecting beyond eyes almost one half of its length; parameres divergent with internal and external angles acute; and dorsolateral angles of pygofer produced caudad. A key for species identification based on male genitalia and external morphology, is provided.

The genus Typhlocybella Baker is quoted for first time for Argentina from specimens collected on maize crops in Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Córdoba and Tucumán provinces. This contribution adds taxonomic and bioecologic knowledge about the genus as well as observations about the leaf damage produced on this crop.

El género Typhlocybella Baker se cita por primera vez para la Argentina a partir de ejemplares recogidos sobre cultivos de maíz en las provincias de Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Córdoba y Tucumán. En esta contribución se reúne información relevante acerca de los aspectos taxonómicos y bioecológicos del género, y se adicionan observaciones acerca de los daños foliares que provocan sobre el mencionado cultivo.
