Lodosia Ahmad & Önder, gen. n., and Lodosia gonocoxa Ahmad & Önder, sp. n. are described. The single female specimen was collected some 900 km east of Ankara, Turkey, and is the westernmost representative of the pentatomine tribe Myrocheini; it is distinguished in particular by the raised tips of both pairs of the gonocoxae. Our cladistic hypothesis is that Laprius Stål is the sister group of Lodosia, and that Dollingiana Ahmad & Kamaluddin is the sister group of Lodosia + Laprius. The three genera all have remarkably wide interocular distances; and Lodosia and Laprius each has an unusually wide anteocular distance. Autapomorphies of the three genera are discussed.
