By monotypy, 75 species included.</p><p>Polytoxus has been characterized by an unarmed clypeus; the head, labium, profemur and protibia ventrally with tufts of stout setae (but never spiniform setae); anterior pronotal lobe unarmed; humeral angles, meso- and metanotum spined; and forewing with a basal cell (Rédei and Tsai 2010). Currently, it is composed of 75 species, being the most diverse genus within  Saicini . Unfortunately it was not possible to include the type species in our data matrix because of the lack of specimens. Our results show that  Polytoxus may be paraphyletic, with  P. annulipes and  P. fuscovittatus more closely related to  Tolyxopus and  Saica than to the other  Polytoxus species. Interestingly, these results are consistent with Standring et al. (2023), where an unidentified species of  Polytoxus from India forms a clade with  Tolyxopus and are sister-group of  Saica + other  Polytoxus species. We only had the opportunity to examine 12 species of this genus, mainly from the Oriental Region; we expect that expanding the sampling with more species and from all the known distributional range of the genus would help to clarify the situation of this genus.</p><p>Examined material:  Polytoxus annulipes Miyamoto and Lee, 1966: JAPAN: one male, Komi, Iriomote Is., The Ryukyus, 4.vi.2003, T.

By monotypy, six species included.</p><p>The genus has been characterized by the clypeus armed with an anteriorly directed spine; head, first visible labial segment, procoxa, protrochanter, profemur, and protibia with large spiniform setae; humeral angles with long spines; and the first tarsal segment subequal to the lengths of the remaining segments combined (Rédei and Tsai 2010). Currently,  Gallobelgicus consists of six species occurring in the Oriental region. Unfortunately, the type species was not included in our data matrix due to the lack of available specimens. Based on the paramere shape, Miller (1957) proposed a ‘  Gallobelgicus complex’ for the genera  Gallobelgicus,  Choreutocoris Miller, 1957, and  Panagrocoris Miller, 1957 . However, this grouping was not recovered in our phylogenetic hypothesis. On the other hand,  Pristicoris has been previously related to  Gallobelgicus (Miller, 1952, Rédei and Tsai, 2009), and our results are consistent with this hypothesis. However, we think that the missing data of the matrix (particularly of genitalic characters) have an important effect in the analysis and resulted in the recovery of  Gallobelgicus as paraphyletic. All  Gallobelgicus specimens included in the analysis are males, whereas in the case of  Pristicoris the specimen studied is a female. It is probable that the inclusion of additional male and female specimens for both genera will help to solve their relationship.</p><p>Examined material:  Gallobelgicus heissi Rédei and Tsai, 2009: one male, THAILAND: Chiang Mai prov., 20 km SW of FANG, 19°49’57 ʹʹ N 99°02’54 ʹʹ E, 11.i. 2006, 1450 m, Lgt.
