Bothriomiris capillosus Yasunaga

Bothriomiris capillosus Yasunaga 2000: 185, 203, Figs. 80–81 [sp. nov.]

Bothriomiris capillosus: Gorczyca 2006: 10 [catalog]; Yasunaga & Miyamoto 2006: 722 –723, Figs. 1 A, B, 2A, F, 3A–C, 4A, B [diagnosis, male genitalia].

Diagnosis. B. capillosus is distinct among other Oriental representatives of the genus by the following set of characters: antennal segment I comparatively short; segment II somewhat thickened; pronotal calli relatively weakly developed; scutellum entirely fuscous, somewhat convex; thoracic pleura (except for proepimeron) with sparse and fine punctures; hemelytron with whitish patch apically; endosoma with a few sclerites.

Most similar to B. yakushima in having the sparse punctation on metepisternum. This species can, however, be distinguished by having the rostrum reaching, but not extending procoxae.

Distribution. Japan (Ryukyus: Iriomote Is.), Taiwan (Yasunaga & Miyamoto 2006).
