Graziaedessa anastrephae (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Edessinae) a new genus and species collected in Multilure® fruit fly traps baited with ammonium acetate and putrescine. During a survey for fruit flies (Anastrepha spp., Diptera, Tephritidae) in Peru, specimens of a previously undescribed genus and species of Edessinae were collected in Multilure® fruit fly traps baited with a combination of ammonium acetate and putrescine. The new taxon, Graziaedessa anastrephae n. g., n. sp., resembles species of the edessine genus Hypoxys Amyot Serville but is smaller and the thoracic sternal structure is unique, consisting of an enlarged metasternal process which is bifurcate posteriorly but simple and rounded anteriorly, reaching for a short length onto the mesosternum and continued by a mesial carina on the mesosternum. Graziaedessa n. g. and G. anastrephae n. sp. are described and figured and compared to other genera of Edessinae.
