Asquith A. 1994. Revision of the endemic Hawaiian genus Sarona Kirkaldy (Heteroptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae). Bishop Museum Occasional Papers. Number 40:0-81
The endemic Hawaiian genus Sarona Kirkaldy is revised and proposed as the sister taxon to the North American genera Slaterocoris Wagner + Scalponotatus Kelton. Forty species are included in the genus Sarona, 39 of which are described as new. Illustrations are presented for the antennae and male genitalic structures of all species; habitus views are presented for four species; scanning electron micrographs are presented for setal structure, pretarsus, and other diagnostic characters. A key to separate males is provided.
