Abstract

The harpactorine reduviid genus Sinea is represented in the midwestern United States by three species: Sinea complexa Caudell, Sinea diadema (F.), and Sinea spinipes (Herrich-Schaeffer). Although the nymphs of these species have been described, no key has been developed for their identification. Here, we present a key to the nymphs of these taxa to the species and instar levels.
