The Acanthosomatidae are Pentatomoidea and are gathered in 45 genus with 180 species in all the world. The geographic distribution of this family is mainly Austral. The material that we have studied is from Neuquen, Argentina and was collected in Notophagus sp. The purpose of this study is to describe a new genus with its nymphs. This contribution will increase the little knowledge of the biology of the austral species of Heteroptera. Index terms: Acanthosomatidae, new genus, nymphs, Notophagus sp.
