Pantochlora vivida StDl - 2 - DAR exchange.

Peromatus sp. - 2 - my ID, from Brazil.
 

PENTATOMIDAE: Pentatominae:

Accarana australica Distant - 26 - not my ID.

Accarana spp. - there are maybe 100 specimens and at least 4-5 species (probably more); all of these specimens are from New Guinea.

Note: The character which I used to diagnose this genus is that the metasternum and usually the mesosternum are strongly sulcated with the margins distinctly elevated. There are many specimens that are similar to australica which has the posterolateral pronotal angles moderately produced. There are, however, several species in which the humeral angles are much less produced and a couple species which have them greatly produced. There are a couple specimens of the latter that are labeled "genus nr. Baracellus, so need to check that genus (only 1 described species from Jobie Island). The male genitalia is strikingly similar in all specimens, so I believe that they all belong to Accarana. There are only 3 described species of Accarana including one called metallica; there are three specimens with the scutellum distinctly metallic green?

Acledra albocostata (Spinola) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Acledra dimidiaticollis (Spinola) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Aednus spp. - 22 representing at least 2 species - my ID. There are 14 from s. China, 1 from w. China, 2 from Philippines, 1 from Malaya, 1 from Vietnam, 1 from Borneo, and 2 from Ceram. All but 2 specimens from China are rather uniform in structure and may all be one species, although the Borneo and Ceram specimens appear to be somewhat larger. Two of the specimens from s. China are smaller, paler in color and have the scutellum longer, reaching the apex of the abdomen (does not reach apex in all other specimens). I believe that these two are close if not the same as that illustrated as ventralis in Hsiao for China.

Aegaleus sp. 1 - One male - Dark brown species with scutellum and anterior two-thirds of pronotum black. White: arcuate transhumeral stripe, calli, extreme edge of anterior and anterolateral pronotal margins, small basal edge of scutellum, submarginal lateral stripes on scutellum straight, at angle to each other, and tip of scutellum. Abdominal venter distinctly spined. Connexiva mostly dark brown with extreme lateral margins and incisures very narrowly pale. South Africa.

Aegaleus sp. 2 - One female - Dorsal surface black with similar color pattern as above, except submarginal lateral scutellar markings are curved, not straight, the pronotal calli are not pale, and the connexiva is pale with black bands along incisures. Abdominal venter not spined, but with prominent hump. South Africa.

Aegaleus sp. 3 - 3 - Two males and 1 female. Dorsal surface nearly completely black, with a slight blue tinge. One specimen has a few pale markings along the anterior margin of the pronotum; another has a very small pale spot on each basal angle of the scutellum. Although the typical pale markings of the above 2 species are lacking, there are smooth calli in the same general areas (eg. transhumeral smooth calli). Connexiva dark with small to medium pale scallops on each segment. Ventrally colored like above species: pale yellowish-brown with dark punctures, & black spots near lateral incisures. Abdominal venter not spined, but with prominent hump. South Africa.

Aenaria pinchii Yang - 7 - my ID, all from s. China.

Note: Males of the two species are easy to separate (see Hsiao 1977). A. lewisi tends to more elongate and slender while pinchii is shorter and slightly more ovate.

Note: Aenaria and Niphe are somewhat similar, but Aenaria has the juga meeting in front of the tylus and Niphe has the the tylus and juga subequal.

Agonoscelis nubilus (Fabricius) - 100's

Agonoscelis rutilus (Fabricius) - around 100

Agonoscelis versicoloratus (Turton) - 2 - DAR exchange

Agonoscelis spp. (4) - 2 spp. are from Africa and are identifiable, but I don’t have the literature. The other two, however, may very well be undescribed species. There are 4 females and 1 male from Amboina that appear to be darker versions of rutilus but the black markings are somewhat diffuse. The male genitalia was also different. There are also 3 specimens from Borneo: Sarawak that appear to be different - kind of like smaller rounder versions of femoralis.

Agroecus griseus Dallas - 3 - 2 DAR exchange, their one is from Bolivia.

Alcaeus varicornis (Westwood) - 3 - Gross ID; juga longer than tylus and spinose apically; membrane reticulate; humeral angles spinose, from Australia.

Alciphron glaucus (Fabricius) - 17 previously ID’d. I ID’d another 50-75 specimens; only 1 species in the genus which is easy to ID. Guam, Australia (NT), Solomons, New Guinea, American Samoa, New Caledonia, New Hebrides, Philippines.

Amasenus corticalis StDl - 2 - my ID, from North Borneo and Laos. Distant placed this genus in the Compastini; I have my doubts. The body is covered with wax; the body is very cryptically shaped and colored (see illustration in Distant 1902). My guess is that this is a halyine. This may be what I have in the unidentified drawer at NDSU (from Bolivia I think) - check this out!! It is the same.

Amblycara gladiatoria (StDl) - 11 - my ID; 11 of which are from New Guinea (new locality record), the other is from Ryukyu Islands.

Amphidexius suspensus Bergroth - 12 - not my ID. From Australia (W).

Anaxarchus reyi (Montandon) - 3 - my ID, all from New Caledonia.

Note: Schouteden syn. the above 2 species which was disputed by Distant. They appear to be two good species to me. The pygophore is somewhat different. The posteroventral margin is much more produced in reyi with a much more scooped out area between it and the inferior ridge. Also, the tip of the scutellum is bright white in reyi and not always so in pardalinus. These species are both large brown, with large, black, coarse punctures, the basal angles of the scutellum are black, foveate, the connexivum alternates black and stramineous. A. reyi is more coarsely punctate than pardalinus.

Anaxilaus oliva (Van Duzee) - 4 - my ID, all from New Caledonia which may be a new locality record.

Anaxilaus vesiculosus (Herrich-Schäffer) - 1 adult - Gross ID. From Australia (Queensland).

Anaxilaus sp. - 1 - appears similar to oliva - from New Guinea.

Anchises parvulus (Westwood) - 3 - Gross ID’d 2 as A. sulcicornis which Leston 1957 placed as a junior synonym of parvulus. All 3 from New Guinea.

Note: Generic characters: Juga shorter than tylus; ocelli behind line connecting hind margins of eyes; femora unarmed; anterior margin of pronotum completely lacking collar; humeral angles not spinose; 2nd antennal segment weakly sulcated, 3rd depressed.

"Antestia degenera" - Bishop contains 38 specimens that would fall under this name. I can, however, detect at least 6 (based on male genitalia; female genital plates look good, too) species in this group of specimens, and I do not believe that the genus is either Antestia or Plautia; it probably needs a new genus. There are two specific junior synonyms that would have to be checked as well as the possibility of other "Antestia" species possibly refering to one of these. This would make a nice project.

Antestiella sp. - 2 - my ID. From South Africa.

Antestiopsis anchora (Thunberg) - 30 - all but 3 are my ID. China, British North Borneo, Macao, n. India, Laos, Malaya (Perak), Vietnam.

Antestiopsis cederwaldi (Bergroth) - 6 - Gross ID - smaller greenish species with markings more less faded. Australia (Queensland).

Antestiopsis cruciata (Fabricius) - 18 - my ID. Philippines, Vietnam, India, Java.

Antestiopsis orbona Kirkaldy - 6 - Gross ID as pallipes (preocc.) - very dark sp. with very few markings. Australia (NSW).

Antestiopsis spp. - 3 - Gross ID. Australia (Queensland).

Note: There are two drawers full of unidentified "Antestiopsis" species. At least most of these would key to Antestiopsis in some of Linnavuorie’s works, but that was for Africa. There appears to be incredible diversity, especially from New Guinea including probably a number of new genera and species.

Arniscus humeralis Dallas - 5 - Gross ID. From Australia (W).

Araducta spp. - 52 specimens representing 6 species - my ID. There is currently only one described species: Walker type should be easy to get hold of. Actually 2 of the species are nearly different enough to be in a new genus, but for time being I would place them here. There are good male genitalia characters, the female plates are different for some, and it appears that the color patterns hold up. Good project for near future! All from New Guinea.

Aspavia sp. - 6 - my ID - From Tanzania (4) and South Africa (2).

Aspideurus spp. - There is about two-thirds of a drawer of semi-sorted, unidentified species. Lots of different color patterns, some of which seem very constant, others exhibit much variation. There are a number of species though as the abdominal spine varies and the shape of the anterolateral pronotal margin. Some may not belong to this genus, especially those from s. China and mainland Southeast Asia. Once again , this would make a great, but difficult project.

Atelias variegatus (Westwood) - 2 - Gross ID; small, humeral angles cornutely produced forward; both from w. Australia.

Atelocera serrata (Fabricius) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Austromalaya aculeata (Bergroth) - 1 - Gross ID, from Queensland.

Austromalaya reticulata (Westwood) - 2 - not my ID, from Northern Territories, Australia; the membrane does appear to be reticulate.

Austromalaya sp. - 2 - my ID, from New Guinea.

Note: Generic characters: tylus longer than juga, head very long and slender, rather abruptly narrowing near insertion of antennae; humeral angles spinose; dorsal surface of pronotum rather flat, lacking gibbosities, etc.

Auxentius spp. - 100-150 specimens - my ID. There are only 2 described species; I has able to separate the males into at least 6 species. There appeared to be about that many different females also, but I did not separate them. These species are somewhat dimorphic as the males have the pronotum somewhat swollen (appearing fat); the females do not (they are flatter); they are not as long and slender as Coctoteris or Bromocoris but are more slender than Babylas or Neoptolemus. They are not pruinose as in the latter 2 genera. The males have the lateral margins of the pygophore expanded into long projections (the most common species has theses rather robust, the others they are more fingerlike); there are also some differences on the posteroventral surface of the pygophore (prominence, projections, etc.). The females usually have a distinct emargination in the last abdominal venter just behind the basal plates (one species was without this emargination, but the last abdominal segment was broadly and shallowly v-shaped). The size and shape of this emargination varies according to species.

Avicenna auricornis (Walker) - 2 - McDonald ID. We have auricornis catalogued as a Vitellus. It has never been in Avicenna. I need to check and see if Gross or McDonald have mentioned anything about moving this species to Avicenna. These two specimens are definitely not Vitellus as they do not have the apex of the scutellum modified as members of that genus. Australia (NT, NSW).

Axiagastus mitescens - 1 - my ID, from Laos. In my opinion this is not a Hoplistoderine. Gross says it belongs in the Antestiini which might be ok. It does have the ostiolar rugae elongate. It has the general appearance of a menidine or even more so an eurysaspine, but it does not have any ventral armature either on the base of the abdomen or on the thoracic sterna.

Axiagastus sp. 1 - lots - I had placed these under Hyrmine last trip. They have the same general facies as Hyrmine, but this is where they belong. This species is darker with the anterior margin of scutellum white, more less of the lateral margins pale, and a kidney shaped white spot on the apex. There is some small pale spots on coria and on pronotum. Solomon Islands, New Britain, New Ireland, Woodlark Island, Admiralty Island, New Hebrides.

Axiagastus sp. 2 - lots - Same as above on prior placement. These are much paler. At the very least anterior half of pronotum is pale with dark punctures; white spot on apex of scutellum much larger. Much less dark pattern on ventral surface. Male genitalia different also. Indonesia (Ambon), New Guinea, Taiwan.

Axiagastus sp. 3 - 1 - from India. Much paler still. Pale with dark punctures, two black spots on basal disk of scutellum, white spot on apex of scutellum not kidney shaped, more arrow shaped.

Axiagastus sp. 4 - 4 - from s. China. This may not be an Axiagastus as the scutellum is somewhat more narrow, and the apices of the bucculae are not greatly produced, and the male genitalia is quite different, but otherwise it appears to be close. The basal portion of the scutellum has a very striking white zig zag pattern, as well as similar markings on anterior half of pronotum. Once again there is a larg chordate spot on the apex of the scutellum.

Babylas bihamatus Horváth - 17 - my ID. Looks much like Neoptolemus, but front femora are unarmed (armed in Neoptolemus); they are also not quite as pruinose as that genus. The male genitalia has two large horn-like structures that protude posteriorly and slowly curve ventrad; the female genitalia is similar to Neoptolemus spp.

Baracellus sp. 1 - lots - one of these was labeled nr. Baracellus. There is only one described species of Baracellus; it is from Jobie Island. I have looked over the description and believe this and the next two species also belong in this genus. This is a very interesting genus. The lateral angles of the pygophore are extremely long and spinose and converge together; the female genitalia has either an excavation or is bulging out at the base of the basal plates, this is obviously where the spinose lateral angles of the pygophore insert. The humeral angles are long and spinose in all 3 species, and the anterolateral margins are distinctly dentate. This species is dull olive green (not shiny as in Accarana), with dark punctures. There is sometimes a pale streak at the base of each corium and a small pale discal spot on each coria. The male genitalia has a small medially oriented hook on the inside of each big spinose production of pygophore; the female has a small round notch in the last abdominal sternite just in front of basal plates.

Baracellus sp. 2 - 13 - a little larger than species 1; also dull olive green turning somewhat yellowish on the scutellum, and has some pale markings on the coria. The male genitalia now has a much larger and turned production on the inside of each lateral spinose pygophoral production; the female have a larger excavated area in front of the basal plates.

Baracellus sp. 3 - 5 - is black with 2 relatively large white spots on each corium. The male genitalia is similar, but different from species # 1; the female genitalia has a moderate excavation, but the exposed parts of the basal plates are very small, fingerlike.

New Genus nr. Baracellus - 3 - Large, olive green with large white longitudinal stripe on each corium; humeral angles are still quite large, spinose, with large sawlike teeth on each margin. Male pygophore greatly and robustly produced on each side, but not spinose as in above genus.

Berecynthus hastator (Fabricius) - 9 - these were ID’d as Berecynthus delirator, but that name is preoccupied; hastator is next available.

Biprorulus bibax Breddin - 6 - not my ID. From Australia (Queensland, NSW).

Boerias sp. - 2 representing 2 species - my ID. Both from South Africa.

Brachycoris semiflavus StDl - 2 - From the Philippines. This species was placed among the Scutelleridae. It should go somewhere in the Pentatomidae. We have it catalogued under the Eurysaspini, but in my opinion it does not belong there. It does have a much enlarged scutellum, but it is oval in shape, dark in color with very dense and coarse punctuation; it is dull and drab. Eurysaspines are more elongate oval, pale, with a very shiny appearance. It is a small to medium dark brown oval species with the posterior half of the scutellum, the posterior third of coria (with pale area extending anteriorly along corial margins), and connexiva pale yellowish brown. There is a small white spot near each basal angle of the scutellum, and a small subbasal white spot on the pronotum just behind the head. The anterior pronotal angles are produced forward to beyond middle of compound eyes and are white themselves. The humeral angles are rounded, not at all prominent. The juga are slightly longer than the tylus, but do not meet anteriorly; the dorsal surface of the head is tumid, convex. The first antennal segment does not extend beyond the apex of the head. The abdominal venter is pale yellowish brown with darker brown punctures; there is a smallish narrow abdominal spine projecting between the hind coxae. The thoracic sterna are black except around the coxal clefts, which is colored like the abdomen; the legs are also pale yellowish brown. There is a relatively large evaporative area; the ostiole is elongate auriculate, somewhat arcuate in form curving cephalad, reaching about half the distance laterally. The rostrum reaches to between the hind coxae, segment extends just beyond the bucculae, which has the posterior margin slightly lobed. The thoracic sterna medially are flattish, not sulcate or carinate. The male genital capsule appears somewhat like the eysarcorines or possibly the menidines. See also notes under Saceseurus.

Brachymna tenuis StDl - 21 - my ID, all from s. China, except 1 from Taiwan.

Brochymena spp. - 24 - no attempt to ID as of yet.

Bromocoris foetidus (Montrouzier & Signoret) - prob. about 100 specimens - all but 3 my ID, those 3 ID’d by Gross. Initially, there were many specimens ID’d by Gagne, but they turned out to be other Bromocoris or other genera. This species is fairly easy to ID; the female genital plates look just like Horváth’s illustration; the male illustration is a little simplistic, but is accurate: the lateral margins of the pygophore are produced into huge spine-like structures which apically diverge and each end in a small black tooth; the parameres are present, but they are extremely small. This species seems rather distantly related to the other Bromocoris spp. and maybe should be in its own genus.

Bromocoris souefi (Distant) - 8 - my ID (only known species from Australia); very similar to one of the Bromocoris spp. from New Guinea; may be a little smaller and broader.

Bromocoris subsimilis Horváth - maybe 50 specimens - my ID; once again the female genitalia matches Horváth’s illustration, but would also match that for olens; olens is known only from the Solomon Islands though. The male genitalia is distinct: the posterior margin is U-shaped with a pair of white bulges near middle, the parameres are big and globose, and very pilose.

Bromocoris sp. 1 - 2 - my ID, 2 males whose genitalia look similar to subsimilis, but they are much longer and slender (general facies more like Coctoteris). One of the two specimens has very extensive black markings on the abdominal venter (subsimilis usually at most has some signs of lateral black bands near spiracles).

Bromocoris sp. 2 - 2 - my ID, male and female from the Philippines. Once again the male genitalia is nearly identical to subsimilis, but the female genitalia is different (not squared off, but more like that seen in foetidus). The two specimens once again are long and slender and appear similar to Coctoteris species; they are more brownish mottled.

Bromocoris sp. 3 - 14 - my ID, these probably belong to another genus or their own new genus. They are quite large, and solid brown with black punctures. The female basal plates are shaped like foetidus with a notch on each side, the 8th paratergites are expanded apically and are bent such that they hang slightly over the edge of the basal plates. The lateral angles of the pygophore are greatly lengthened (somewhat like in foetidus), but they do not become spinose but rather are concave internally covering the greatly lengthened parameres which do become spinose apically.

Buthumka new species - 2 - Gross ID.

Cahara jugatoria (Lethierry) - 6 - my ID. From Nepal, 1 from India.

Cahara spp. (2) - 2 - my ID. One from India, one from Laos.

Capivaccius bufo Distant - 1 - DAR exchange.

Cappaea taprobanensis - 13 - my ID - posterior margin of pygophore looks like what is drawn in Hsiao 1977; all from s. China.

Cappaea sp. 1 - 11, all from s. China.

Cappaea sp. 2 - 20, all from s. China

Note: There are only two described species of Cappaea, so there is apparently at least one undescribed species. In my opinion, neither of these species matched very well with the 2nd known species, tibialis. The pygophore is quite different from each other and also from the picture drawn in Hsiao 1977. Both species have the posterior margin much excavated without the lateral tooth like projections seen in taprobanensis . Species 2 does have a small black tooth on each side of the central excavation, and the tibiae are not distinctly banded with white in the middle. Species 1 lacks all teeth on pygophore and has a distinct white band on middle of each tibia. The basal plates are quite large in both species, but the posterior margin tucks back into the body much more in species 1.

Carbula capito (StDl) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Carbula scutellata Distant - 8 - my ID, all from India (type country)

Carbula sp. nr. scutellata - 28 mostly from Thailand, 2 from Vietnam - actually may be scutellata: general appearance is similar by distinct from scutellata; male genitalia is quite similar.

Carbula spp. (12) - some of these are probably undescribed. There is an interesting species from Taiwan (15 specimens) that have the anterior angles of the pronotum produced into spines laterad of eyes.

Caribo fasciatus Rolston - 1 - British Virgin Islands.

Caridophthalmus spp. - close to 100 specimens - my ID, there are 5 known species in the genus; I was able to separate 6 out quickly in this material - there is probably more. Request these when I get around to the revision.

Carpocoris purpureipennis (DeGeer) - 4 - 2 not my ID, from Japan; 2 from DAR exchange.

Carpocoris spp. - 5 - Yugoslavia, Japan, Germany

Catacanthus taiti - 20 - not my ID; all of their specimens are from the type locality (Henderson Island); one of the irridescent green species, very similar to viridicatus. In fact, I could see no real difference in the male or female genitalia between the 2 species, but there does seem to be a color difference. Taiti is more of bronzy green color with the lateral edge of the corium pale and the veins on the coria are extensively pale; the legs are light brown in color.

Catacanthus viridicatus - 84 - all but 17 my ID, from the Society Islands. Overall color more pure greenish irridescent than taiti and the corium has much less extensive pale along outer margin and on veins; the legs are black to reddish brown.

Catacanthus sp. 1 - 2 - from Samoa, similar to taiti except the tip of the scutellum is pale.

Catacanthus sp. 2 - 2 - from Guam, another irridescent green species, but has a pale transverse band across anterior pronotal disc, and the connexivum is nearly entirely green.

Catacanthus sp. 3 - 5 - from New Hebrides, much like viridicatus except dorsum is chocolate brown instead of irridescent green; male pygophore slightly different.

Catacanthus sp. 4 - whole drawer - Most specimens are from New Guinea; this may be carenoi. It is three toned, overall color is orange to red, the corium pale, almost white, the head and membranes are black, there is a black spot covering the base of the pronotum and the base of the scutellum and there is a black spot on middle of each corium.

Catacanthus sp. 5 - whole drawer - Most specimens are from Laos, with a few from Java, and 2 from the Philippines. This is an orange species with reduced black markings; there is no black markings on the base of the pronotum, the two black spots in the basal angles of the scutellum are small or wanting, and the black spots on the middle of each corium are reduced to small transverse bars. The spots are a little bigger on the Philippine specimens.

Catacanthus sp. 6 - 19 - all from New Guinea. Markings similar to sp. no. 4, except corial ground color same as rest of body - orange with black markings as described above; connexivum alternating orange and black. Male and female genitalia distinctive.

Catacanthus sp. 7 - 11 - all from New Guinea; marked as above except the black on the base of the pronotum is now connected to anterior pronotal black with a broad band of black; abdomenal spine stout as in typical Catacanthus sp. Connexivum uniformly orange.

Catacanthus sp. 8 - 9 - all from New Guinea. This species is somewhat of an enigma. It is colored nearly identical wi.th sp. no. 7. Its male and female genitalia seems to be nearly identical to sp. no. 7. The only real difference is that the abdominal spine is reduced to a very small spine which just barely protrudes between the hind coxae. They have a different gestalt also - I could usually pick them out from above.

Caura bipartita (Signoret) - 1 - DAR exchange.

Caura pugillator (Fabricius) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Caystrus pallidolimbatus StDl - 1 - not my ID, from New Guinea.

Caystrus pallipes StDl - 1 - not my ID, from North Borneo. I matched another 12 specimens with this one. The male genitalia is distinctive. It is one of the smaller species which lacks the tooth in front of each compound eye. It has the anterolateral pronotal margins straight to slightly sinuous. It also pretty much lacks the pale lateral margins of the abdominal venter. Specimens are from Ceram, se Guinea, Ambon, Borneo, and the Philippines.

Caystrus quadrimaculatus Linnavuori - 1 - DAR exchange.

Caystrus spp. - lots - I separated the remaining specimens first into two groups: 1) smaller specimens which lacked the tooth in front of each eye, and 2) larger specimens which had a distinct tooth in front of each eye. The smaller specimens could be further divided into 5 species. The male genitalia was fairly distinct for all five. One matches the specimen above determined as pallipes. One is from s. India. Another is dark in color as pallipes lacking the pale margins of the abdominal venter and having the anterolateral pronotal margins straight to slightly sinuously concave. The remaining two species are pale in color, have a distinct pale lateral band on the abdominal venter, and have the anterolateral pronotal margins slightly convex. One of these two has only a thin pale stripe down the middle of the scutellum, while the other has this stripe plus a sublateral thin pale stripe on each side of the scutellum. The remaining large specimens with a tooth in front of each eye were left as one big group. I feel certain that these represent at least a couple species, but I was not for the time being able to put a finger on the differences. Most of these may actually match up with the specimen ID’d above as pallidolimbatus.

Ectenus sp. 2 - 15 - my ID. From the Philippines. Shorter and more brown than other species.

Note: One of these last two species is probably Ectenus brevirostris StDl; they both have the rostrum somewhat shorter than the other species. The remaining species in probably undescribed.

Ectenus sp. 3 - 8 - all females, my ID. From New Guinea; antennal segment two much longer than three; basal plates not excavated medially, but are somewhat produced posteriorly medially.

Ectenus sp. 4 - 21 - my ID. From New Guinea. Antennal segment three much longer than two; basal plates somewhat excavated medially.

Ectenus sp. 5 - 5 - my ID. All from Fly River, New Guinea. Antennal segments two and three subequal; basal plates somewhat excavated medially; male genitalia different from sp. no. 4.

Note: Only one species of Ectenus is known from New Guinea: pudicus StDl, so one of the last three species above is probably pudicus, the other two are probably undescribed.

New Genus nr. Ectenus or Bromocoris no. 1 - All of these species are from the Solomon Islands. In all species the lateral angles of the male pygophore are enlarged and greatly produced, each ultimately forming some type of ventral hook that overlaps the last abdominal sternite.

Species no. 1 - 64 - Gross ID’d 1, I have matched up the rest. This species is rather drab and inornate dark brown, sometimes with hints of metallic green on pronotum and scutellum; in many specimens the scutellum is dark orange-red except for the dark lateral margins. Each pygophoral production is black, robust, somewhat spatulate, each curving medially until they nearly touch each other, each is equipped with a stout hook directed anterolaterally over the last abdominal sternite. Basal plates are nearly circular, except for posterior margin somewhat straight medially, forming a right angle medially.

Species no. 2 - 40 - These are small than sp. no. 1; they are still quite dark, but have more metallic green markings; the apex of the scutellum is distinctly white, and there is usually a more or less distinct pale longitudinal stripe medially on scutellum. The pygophoral processes are yellow, still somewhat spatulate, they curve slightly medially, but do not nearly touch, the hook portion is similar in shape to a ram’s horn. The basal plates are wider than long, the posterior is substraight (a few minor sinuations), and the posteromedial angles are prominent.

Species no. 3 - 18 - about size of species no. 1. Pale to dark with many metallic green markings. Apex of scutellum is pale. Usually other pale markings on scutellum, coria, and pronotum. The male pygophore is pale ventrally, dark dorsally, not spatulate, but rather robust, each with a dorsal medially projected production which nearly contact each other, ventral hooks large and robust. Basal plates with posterior margins arcuate, meeting medially only at their bases forming a large V-shape gap between.

Species no. 4. - 9 - Similar general coloration as last species, tendency towards having pale smooth area near each humeral angle; abdominal venter much darker than in other species. Pygophoral projections black, not spatulate, lacking dorsal productions of last species, curving gently laterad, hooks short, not prominent. Basal plates greatly excavated near posteromedial margins, posteromedial angle hooklike.

Species no. 5 - 22 - Dark brown to black species, with white longitudinal stripe medially on scutellum which is wider basally becoming acuminate apically. The pygophoral projections are large, robust, each entirely being part of the hook, the surfaces are somewhat undulate. The last abdominal segment in the females is distinctly truncatly recessed, the basal plates are large and roundish, but the posteromedial area is slightly excavated. The clincher for this species is that the tongue of the scutellum is very small and narrow, and appears to somewhat deformed. It is nearly always inflated, knoblike, but sometimes taking different shapes including sometimes appearing somewhat bifid apically.

Species no. 6 - 2 - Only two females in material, but the basal plates are very distinct. The whole posterior margin is excavated.

Species no. 7 - 6- All females. More uniformly pale with dark punctures. Basal plates smallish, roundish, not meeting at all medially.

Species no. 8 - 36 - Black species with white spot in each basal angle of scutellum; apex of scutellum white to pale reddish; tip of coria reddish. Pygophoral projections pale, robust, but not really forming hooks. Basal plates typical pentatomoid, unremarkable.

Note: There are still many more specimens representing several more species. There are also a number of unidentified specimens in the unidentified halyines that are close, but probably belong in another new genus (a number of species). They are smaller and paler than above, and the pygophoral projections are less hooklike.

New Genus nr. Ectenus or Bromocoris no. 2 - 19 - Gross ID’d first 7, I matched up the rest. These are from New Britain; they are a brown oval species. The pygophore is fairly complex resulting once again into small hooks overlapping the abdominal venter (it is a different genus than above though).

Eurinome fasciaticollis StDl - 7 - my ID, all from the Philippines.

Eurinome spp. (at least 10-12 more species) - 100's of specimens.

Note: There are only 5 described species of Eurinome. If I have diagnosed the genus correctly, Bishop has about 15 different species. One has fairly prominent humeral angles and may actually be a new genus (Gross had labeled 2 specimens from n. Australia as unknown genus). The rest of the species can be divided into two species groups. In one group, the parameres are very long and slender, and in the other group, they are thicker to broadly rounded. There are 2-3 species which have the anterior angles of the pronotum produced into a relatively large spine (one of these is probably armata). One of the "toothed" species also has a small pale tubercle behind eash pronotal calli. One species has the anterolateral pronotal margins rather straight with the margin of the tooth in line with the pronotal margin (this species also has the evaporative areas conspicuously black). Another species has the dorsal surface rather dark, sharply contrasting with the pale connexival areas. In some species the anterolateral pronotal margins are sinuous and often there are transhumeral pale lines. A couple of the species are much smaller than the others. There are good male and often female genitalia characters, too.

Genus near Eurinome - see above paragraph; this is the one with the prominent humeral angles that Gross labeled as unknown genus.

Eurydema oleraceum (Linnaeus) - 3 - my ID. One specimen is labeled from Australia and was ID’d as Stenozygum sp. by Gross; it is not a Stenozygum, but is a Eurydema and appears to be oleraceum. Perhaps the label is wrong, or this is an adventitious specimen?

Fecelia sp. - 2 - my ID, from Dominican Republic.

Galedanta myops (Fabricius) - 1 - my ID, from Costa Rica

Glaucias amyoti (White) - 49 - not my ID. Uniformly green in color with concolorous punctures. The black markings seen were the very tips of the posterolateral abdominal angles which are minutely spinose. No white markings except in some species there is some submarginal yellowing on the head and pronotum. Palau Islands, Caroline Islands, New Zealand. Beak reaching to at most middle of fourth (third visible) abdominal tergite. Mesosternal cariana simple, not overly elevated.

Note: There were three specimens from Queensland, Australia, labeled by Gross as this species, but they do not match the other specimens at all. Not even sure if they are Glaucias as the mesosternal carina is elevated somewhat, hinting that it may be a rhynchocorine.

Glaucias eburnopictus Ruckes - 1 - female paratype. Marianas. The punctures on the head, pronotum and basal two-thirds of the scutellum are black, the punctures on the coria are concolorous with the green dorsum except for a few dark punctures laterally along each corial base. The tip of the scutellum is white with a small black spot on each side anterior to the white, the tongue of the scutellum is slightly emarginate at each black spot. The extreme edge of the anterolateral pronotal margin and base of the coria is pale whitish. Beak reaching anterior margin of fourth (third visible) abdominal sternite. Mesosternal carinae simple, not elevated.

Glaucias fulvescens Ruckes - 5 - 4 are paratypes. Marianas, Saipan, Rota, Guam. Actually this species is colored much like the last except for the ground color. It is light brown with dark brown punctures (including all of the coria). There are also brown spots on the connexiva that are lacking in eburnopictus. The tongue of the scutellum does not seem to be slightly emarginate near the black spots. Also a small oblique brown mark anteromesad of each spiracle. Beak reaching anterior margin of fifth (fourth visible) abdominal sternite. Mesosternal carinae very slightly elevated.

Glaucias inornatus (StDl) - 5 - Ruckes & Usinger ID; from Palau, Guam. Dorsally uniformly green in color except some yellowish color around eyes. Below also uniformly green, becoming yellowish medially. Mesosternal and metasternal carinae somewhat elevated beyond typical. Beak reaching to anterior margin of fourth (third visible) abdominal sternite.

Glaucias lucidus Ruckes - 1 - female paratype; Caroline Island. Pale greenish species (faded in only specimen) with very small punctures that are dark brown. Below uniformly yellowish brown. Beak reaching to near middle of fifth (fouth visible) abdominal sternite. Mesosternal carina simple, not unusually elevated.

Glaucias ponapensis Ruckes - 1 - Female. Ruckes ID; from Ponape Island. Overall green in color, punctures concolorous, lateral edge of head brown, a distinct submarginal yellow band on pronotum continuing along lateral basal margin of coria. Connexivum with posterolateral angles distinctly black, but not continuing onto laterotergites. Below yellowish becoming greenish laterally with posterolateral abdominal angles distinctly black. Metasternum somewhat elevated, but flat, not carinate, Mesosternal carina not unusually elevated. Beak reaching anterior margin of fifth (fourth visible) abdominal sternite.

Glaucias samoanus China - 21- 3 are paratypes, I ID’d the remaining 18; from Samoa. Dorsum bright green with distinct contrastingly yellow margins to head, pronotum, and bases of coria, continued by the bright pale yellowish connexiva. Once again the tips of the incisures are black. The antennae and the rostrum are billiant red in color, as well as the thetip of the tylus in one specimen. Below it is yellow medially becoming greenish laterally except for a narrow yellow band along margins; the posterolateral abdominal angles are black. The pygophore is similar to, but different from amyoti, but the parameres are very similar. The beak just reaches the anterior margin of the fourth (third visible) abdominal sternite. The posterior third of the mesosternal carina and the metasternal carina are slightly elevated.

Glaucias venustus Van Duzee - 29 - 8 are paratypes, 21 are my ID; from Marquesas Islands. Green, with slightly yellow margins, the connexiva is contrastingly pale, with all punctures black, including disk of coria. Below yellowish medially, green laterally, tips of incisures both dorsally and ventrally are black. Beak reaching to or nearly to anterior margin of sixth (fifth visible) abdominal sternite. Mesosternal carina typical. The edge of the scutellar tongue with a tiny black spot on each side about two-thirds to the tip, sometimes slight amount of white coloring along edge above and below spot. Sometimes the anterior angle of the pronotum and the edge of the head just in front of the compound eyes is marked with black. Also the spiracles are narrowly ringed with black.

Glaucias spp. - 13 - not my ID. There is then another 2.5-3 drawers of unsorted, unidentified Glaucias. Quick examination revealed that there are many species; for example there are at least 5 or 6 different species with the anterior disk of pronotum white. Undoubtedly a number of undescribed species exist for someone ready for the challenge.

Goilalaka spp. - about 100 specimens, representing at least 4-5 species. There are only two described species, so there has to be several undescribed. Ghauri, 1972, worked on the genus. Some have a reddish fascia between humeral angles, most don’t; there seems to be differences in the shape of the head also. Another good project!

Glyphepomis setigera Kormilev & Piran - 1 - DAR exchange.

Grossiana persignata (Walker) - 9 - my ID; n. Australia; Gross had ID’d these as Stenozygum sp.

Gynenica spp. - 3 - my ID.

Halyabbas unicolor Distant - 5 - my ID, all from Laos.

Halyomorpha picus (Fabricius) - 1 - not my ID, from n. Borneo - probably is not picus

Halyomorpha sp. 1 - 100's, may be brevis or halys, all from s. China, Taiwan, Japan, Macao - the superior ridge is produced over the pygophore with a v-shaped notch in the middle.

Halyomorpha sp. 2 - 100's, from Indonesia, more brown than other species, posteroventral margin of pygophore v-shaped with no sinuation in middle.

Halyomorpha sp. 3 - 11, from s. India - posteroventral margin of pygophore similar to sp. 1, but parameres much different (more elongate); superior ridge not produced over pygophore

Halyomorpha sp. 4 - 3 - 2 from the Philippines, 1 from Laos; pygophore and parameres different; the specimen from Laos may be a different species, but pygophore and parameres match with the male from the Philippines.

Halyomorpha sp. 5 - 8 - also from the Philippines, posteroventral margin of pygophore more transverse, sinuous, with a mesial v-shaped notch between two obtuse teeth like projections; a brownish species with almost no dark markings ventrally.

Halyomorpha sp. 6 - 18 from Laos & British North Borneo; posteroventral margin of pygophore more u-shaped; pygophore dark brown with inner margins of lateral projections pale; usually with small inward projecting obtuse tooth on these inner margins and a patch of long hairs on posterventral surface of pygophore; superior ridge not produced over proctiger.

Halyomorpha sp. 7 - 3 from Laos; large species with distinct longitudinal pale line on head and pronotum becoming faint on scutellum; posteroventral margin of pygophore nearly transverse, slightly sinuous.

Halyomorpha sp. 8 - 3 - 1 from New Guinea and 2 from Indonesia; more mottled coloration above; below with a dark round to square spot posteromesial to each spiracle (not a band); male pygophore much different, posteroventral margin sinuous with a smallish u-shaped notch in middle.

Halyomorpha sp. - 1 - Kenya

Halyomorpha spp. - 33. Some match up with those below (late entries).

Halys spp. (2) - 16 - 1 from s. China; the rest from s. India. My ID.

New Genus in Halys group - 7 - Gross had ID’d one specimen as this; I found 5 more that matched his, and 1 more that appears to be a 2nd sp. in the genus. There is a chance that this genus belongs in the Carpocorini. Species 1 is mottle green with the distal half of the embolium white and a distal vein on the corium is also white; there is a thin pale longitudinal line medially on the pronotum and a faint white spot in each basal angle of the scutellum; the juga are slightly longer than the tylus and acute to spinose; also the anterlolateral pronotal margin is expanded near head with several small teeth. Species 2 is the same except the embolium is not white and the teeth near the head are longer, nearly spinose. There is a specimen in the CAS material.

New Genus in Halys or Carpocorini group - 26 - Once again, Gross had ID’d one specimen; I matched up the remaining 25. This genus also may belong in the Carpocorini. This is a relatively large species; brown, with the apex of the scutellum white, and a small white spot in the middle of each corium; the juga are slightly longer than the tylus and acute to spinose; the connexivum is contrastingly paler than rest of dorsum. There is a specimen in the CAS material.

Hippotiscus scutellatus Distant - 6 - my ID. They match perfectly Distant’s description and they are from the same place - Sarawak, Borneo. There are actually 2 species which superficially look the same, but have quite a few structural differences, such that I do not believe they even belong in the same genus. Both species are oval in shape, light brown with darker brown punctures; both have a white spot on the apex of the scutellum thinly margined anteriorly with black. The spot, however, in scutellatus is chordate in shape (as described by Distant), while it is just oval in the other species. Scutellatus has simple wing venation (somewhat reticulate in other species), and has dark markings along the ventral abdominal incisures, around spiracles and a short transverse line posterior to each spiracle (all lacking in other species). The male genitalia is drastically different between the two. The other species is placed at the end of the subfamily as an unknown genus.

Holcostethus abbreviatus (Uhler) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Holcostethus limbolarius StDl - 7 - 5 my ID

Holcostethus tristis (Van Duzee) - 1 - not my ID

Holcostethus vernalis (Wolff) - 2 - DAR exchange.

Holcostethus spp. - 6

Homalogonia obtusa - 17, all from s. China, except 1 from Japan, and 2 from w. China; the 2 from w. China have the humeral angles more produced than the others - there is a subsp. described from w. China (yunnanensis). Two more from DAR exchange.

Hoplistodera incisa Distant - 2 - my ID, one from Vietnam and 1 from Laos.

Hoplistodera spp. (several) - about 100 specimens, from all over, including New Guinea, and one from the Solomons.

Hymenarcys aequalis (Say) - 1 - DAR exchange.

Hymenarcys nervosa (Say) - 4 - 1 my ID; 3 from DAR exchange.

Hyparete boitardi (Montrouzier) - 42 - someone else ID’d 1 specimen; I matched up the remaining specimens. We have this genus catalogued in the Carpocorini, but I believe it might actually belong in the Halyini. The male pygophore has the lateral angles greatly expanded and produced posteriorly, beginning to hook downwards similar to the new genus described above from the Solomons. This species, however, is smaller and broadly rounded with numerous pale markings on the dorsum (ground color is brown). The connexivum alternates between brown and pale areas which match up to corresponding pale spots on the venter. There is a 2nd species (7 specimens) and possibly a 3rd species (2 specimens); the 2nd species lacks most of the pale markings above except that on connexiva; the 3rd species is nearly totally black except small pale markings on connexiva.

Hyrmine dispar (Westwood) - 1 - Gross ID.

Hyrmine spp. - one half drawer of what appears to be 2-3 species.

Iphiarusa compacta (Distant) - 14 - my ID, relatively easy to ID from Hsiao 1977. All from s. China.

Note: I do not believe that this genus belongs in the Rhynchocorini. It is the abdomenal spine which is produced forward to the head forming the well known structure defining the Rhynchocorines. But in true Rhynchocorines, the abdomenal spine is not usually greatly produced but rather fits into the elevated metasternum which then fits together with the elevated mesosternum which is then produced forward over the prosternum and sometimes under the head.

Ippatha australiensis Distant - 1 - not my ID.

Ippatha ornata Distant - 1 - Lyal ID.

Ippatha new species - 1 - Lyal ID (1976).

Note: These are pretty excellent species; they are elongate oval in shape with black and white longitudinal stripes on scutellum and coria (scutellum is greatly enlarged, nearly covering entire abdomen); pronotum has transverse black and white stripes.

Laprius sp. - 3 - From s. China. Much smaller than above specimens and male genitalia was different.

Lathraedoeus sp. - 1 - Gross ID.

Lathraedoeus new species - 1 - Gross ID.

Note: Gross, 1976, stated that there were only 6 genera of Menida Group in the the Australian and New Guinea region. Three have the anterolateral pronotal margins slightly reflexed, the other three have them more laminate. Of the three with reflexed margins, one is a new pilose genus from western Australia. The remaining two can be separated by the male genitalia. In Lathradoeus, the male genitalia is concealed by the extended last abdominal ventrite, in Menida, the male genitalia is not hidden as above. Using this criteria, there is a huge amount of material that would fall under the genus Lathradoeus. In fact, it is my belief that this material actually represents 5-6 genera. In addition, the two specimens from Australia identified as Lathradoeus by Gross do not match up very well with anything from New Guinea, the type locality of the type species of Lathradoeus. I have placed all of this material under Lathradoeus in the collection for the time being. Even in what I am calling Lathradoeus, there appears to be tons of species, most of which are probably undescribed. This would be a very challenging project!!

Lubentius marginellus (Westwood) - 4 - not my ID.

Macrocarenoides scutellatus (Distant) - 2 - Gross ID.

Madates spp. - 58 total specimens. The Problem: Only one species has ever been described in this genus; there are obviously 2 species. Bishop has 16 specimens from s. India which are not conspecific with the remaining specimens from Laos and Malaya. I am not sure which of the 2 species deserves the only name, limbata, and which is undescribed. The pygophore is slightly different between the 2 species, but the real difference is the parameres. The Indian specimens have shorter, stubbier parameres that are roundly truncate apically. The Laos-Malay specimens have a long paremere that is spinose apically. Also, the Indian specimens are somewhat smaller than the other species. Will have to borrow these and describe the new species some day soon!!
