The New World assassin bug genus    Zelus    Fabricius, 1803 (  Insecta  :   Hemiptera  :   Heteroptera  :   Reduviidae  :   Harpactorinae  :   Harpactorini  ) is revised based on more than 10,000 specimens. Seventy-one species are recognized and twenty-four described as new:    Zelus   aithaleos    sp. n. ,    Zelus   amblycephalus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   antiguensis    sp. n. ,    Zelus   auralanus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   bahiaensis    sp. n. ,    Zelus   banksi    sp. n. ,    Zelus   casii    sp. n. ,    Zelus   championi    sp. n. ,    Zelus   cordazulus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   fuliginatus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   gilboventris    sp. n. ,    Zelus   gracilipes    sp. n. ,    Zelus   grandoculus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   kartaboides    sp. n. ,    Zelus   lewisi    sp. n. ,    Zelus   panamensis    sp. n. ,    Zelus   paracephalus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   rosulentus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   russulumus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   spatulosus    sp. n. ,    Zelus   truxali    sp. n. ,    Zelus   umbraculoides    sp. n. ,    Zelus   umbraculus    sp. n. , and    Zelus   xouthos    sp. n.  Five species,    Zelus   araneiformis    Haviland, 1931,    Zelus   gradarius    Bergroth, 1905,    Zelus   modestus    (Stål, 1862),    Zelus   subfasciatus    Stål, 1860 and    Zelus   vittaticeps    Stål, 1866, are removed from    Zelus    and placed  incertae sedis  within   Harpactorini  . Nine new synonyms are recognized (senior synonym in parentheses):    Zelus   atripes    Champion, 1898  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   conjungens    [Stål, 1860]),    Zelus   dispar    Fabricius, 1803  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   pedestris    Fabricius, 1803),    Zelus   formosus    Haviland, 1931  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   laticornis    Herrich-Schaeffer, 1853),    Zelus   obscuridorsis    (Stål, 1860)  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   pedestris   ),    Zelus   pallidinervus    Haviland, 1931  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   kartabensis    Haviland, 1931),    Zelus   personatus    Berg, 1879  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   versicolor    Herrich-Schaeffer, 1848),    Zelus   trimaculatus    Champion, 1898  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   means    Fabricius, 1803),    Zelus   trimaculicollis    (Stål, 1855)  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   means   ), and    Zelus   tristis    Haviland, 1931  syn. nov.  (=   Zelus   laticornis   ).    Zelus   conjungens    (Stål, 1860)  stat. rev.  Is resurrected from junior synonymy with  zealous armillatus  (Lepeletier &amp; Seville, 1825).    Zelus   ambulans    Stål, 1862  stat. rev.  and    Zelus   cognatus    (Costa, 1862)  stat. rev.  are resurrected from synonymy with    Zelus   exsanguis    Stål, 1862.    Iquitozelus    Bérenger  syn. nov.  is synonymized with    Zelus    and its only species transferred to    Zelus   , hence resulting in a new combination,    Zelus   couturieri    (Bérenger, 2003)  comb. nov.  Lectotypes, paralectotypes or neotypes are designated for a number of species. Habitus images, illustrations of male genitalia, distribution maps and measurements are provided for nearly all species. The three previously recognized subgenera of    Zelus    are found to be based upon superficial characters and these divisions do not reflect natural groupings. Using sets of characters, especially those of the male genitalia, eleven species groups are proposed. It is also hypothesized that    Zelus    is closely related to three other New World genera:    Atopozelus    Elkins,    Ischnoclopius    Stål and an undescribed genus "Hartzelus" [manuscript name].    Zelus    is endemic to the New World, occurring naturally in the Caribbean and all but one of the continental countries, with introductions to Pacific islands, Europe and Chile.
