            <p> Chelyolygus ,  new genus</p>
            <p> Type species.  Chelyolygus wolskiorum ,  new species . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Chelyolygus ,  new genus , can be distinguished from other members of the  Lygus -complex by the following combination of characters: Body relatively small (3.1–4.7 in total length), ovoid to disk-like, tortoise-shaped; basic colouration variable, pale ivory white to fuscous (Figs. 1, 6A, F, 7A, B, D); dorsum shining, smooth, with sparsely (usually uniformly on hemelytra) distributed, simple, short setae, lacking noticeable puncture; vertex with flat, continuous basal transverse carina that is about as thick as pronotal collar; pronotum oily and shiny, sometimes nearly glabrous; parameres stout, with developed and often bifurcated apical parts of hypophyses; vesica with two distinct spicules; sclerotised rings oval, small, separated to each other mesally; posterior wall with a row of spinules on anterior interramal sclerite and with small dorsal structure and interramal lobes. </p>
            <p>Description. Body small to moderate in size, ovoid to disk-like, tortoise-shaped, not sexually dimorphic in general shape but pattern in male sometimes darker; basic colouration varying from ivory white to widely fuscous; dorsal surface shining, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, semi-erect setae but partly glabrous in some species. Head: Smooth, shining, rather vertical in lateral view, almost glabrous; eyes contiguous to anterior margin of pronotal collar; vertex weakly sulcate mesally, with flat, continuous basal transverse carina that is about as thick as pronotal collar. Antenna: Shorter than body, almost linear; antennomeres I and II always with dark apices (or apical parts), about as thick as protibia; antennomere II in female shorter than basal width of pronotum; antennomeres III and IV filiform. Labium: Relatively long and slender, reaching or slightly exceeding apex of metacoxa. Thorax: Pronotum polished, inflated, with sparsely distributed, short, reclining setae, lacking noticeable punctures, in some species glabrous; calli with a pair of dark spots, flat, not clearly demarcated; collar narrow; propleuron not margined nor carinate; metathoracic scent efferent system subtriangular, ovoid dorsally, with narrow, more or less produced peritreme; scutellum polished, flat. Hemelytron: Shining, variable in colour but as a rule with striped pattern on clavus and corium, almost impunctate, declivous at cuneal fracture, usually with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining setae; lateral margin of exocorium (embolium) rounded. Legs: Moderate in length; meta-tarsomere III longer than I or II; pretarsal structures as in Figs. 19G, 20D, E, K; parempodia usually short, with thick bases. Male genitalia: Pygophore relatively short. Parameres generally stout, sometimes with developed and bifurcate apical parts of hypophyses; left paramere C- or L-shaped, with elongate apical process of hypophysis; hypophysis of right paramere often bifurcate apically or sometimes terminated in a sharp point. Vesica with two distinct spicules, with one or two additional lobal-sclerites in some species; gonopore small, circular; apex of phallotheca simple, narrow. Female genitalia: Genital chamber with oval, small sclerotised rings separated to each other mesally; posterior wall with a row of spinules on anterior interramal sclerite; dorsal structure and interramal lobes relatively narrow.</p>
            <p> Etymology. From Greek noun, ‘chelys’ (= turtle), combined with mirine genus  Lygus Hahn , referring to the ovoid and stout body shape that is reminiscent of a tortoise-shell; gender masculine. </p>
            <p> Discussion.  Chelyolygus ,  new genus , is herein established to accommodate five representatives which have distinct characters diagnosed above. In addition to the ovoid or tortoise-shaped body shape, it is defined principally by the unique male and female genitalic structures, such as two spicules (and sometimes one or two additional lobal-sclerites) on the vesica and a row of spinules on anterior part of interramal sclerite and narrow interramal lobe and dorsal structure on the posterior wall. Currently, any plausible sister-group is not posited for  Chelyolygus ,  new genus . The ovoid or disk-like body form is reminiscent of  Apolygopsis Yasunaga, Schwartz &amp; Chérot, 2002 and  Chilocrates Horváth, 1889 , but the colour pattern and genitalic structure of  Chelyolygus ,  new genus , are obviously distinct from those of the latter two genera (Yasunaga &amp; Schwartz, 2000; Yasunaga et al., 2002; Yasunaga, 2023). Based on similarity in the striped pattern on the hemelytra and vesical sclerites,  Prolygus Carvalho is assumed to be one of the closer taxa. However,  Prolygus is distinct in having the elongate, conventional mirine shape (Fig. 32L) and female posterior wall with developed, wide interramal lobes and lateral lobes (Fig. 32K, O) (see Yasunaga et al., 2018, for typical features of  Prolygus ). </p>

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This new species is currently known by two male specimens mentioned above and recognised readily by the following characters: Orange-yellow basic colouration; oily-shiny, highly polished, impunctate and hairless dorsum (Fig. 20A) with characteristic fuscous spots or maculae on pronotum, scutellum and hemelytron (Fig. 1I, J); fully darkened clypeus; darkened apical ¼ of pale antennomere I; and unique form of male genitalia as described below. Further external features were described by Poppius (1915) and images of the holotype male are available on a database (National Museum of Natural Science, 2023). The male genitalia are herein described for the first time, but the female is yet to be found.</p>
            <p> Description. Male genitalia (Fig. 2A–H): Left paramere C-shaped, similar in general shape to that of  Apolygopsis species (but apex of hypophysis lacking lateral process) (Fig. 2D, E); right paramere with bifurcate hypophysis (Fig. 2G, H) and apical protuberance on sensory lobe (Fig. 2F). Vesica with two stout spicules and small, rounded secondary gonopore (Fig. 2A–C). </p>
            <p>Measurements. See Table 1.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Taiwan (Pingtung).</p>
            <p>Biology. Unknown.</p>
            <p> Remarks. This Taiwanese taxon has been regarded as a member of the speciose Holarctic genus  Neolygus since the treatment by Zheng et al. (2004). However, the present examination on the surface structures and male genitalia warrants its placement in  Chelyolygus ,  new genus . For instance, the highly polished, nearly glabrous dorsal surface is not exhibited in  Neolygus , and the principal morphology of the male and female genitalia is significantly different between the two genera (cf. Yasunaga, 1991, 2023, 2024; Yasunaga et al., 2018). Based on these morphological evidences, a new combination,  Chelyolygus bipuncticollis (Poppius) , is herein established. </p>

The female and male genitalia are herein described for the first time.</p>
            <p>Description. Female: Externally similar to male. Antennomere II widely pale brown, with dark apex. Scutellum with brown, narrow, triangular macula anteromesally. Male genitalia (Figs. 5A–D, 21G, 22F–G): Left paramere L-shaped, stout, with weak apical protuberance at apex of sensory lobe (Figs. 5B, 22F); right paramere with simple, tapered hypophysis (Fig. 5C). Vesica with two stout spicules (Figs. 5D, 22G, 1–2) and short lobal sclerite (3). Female genitalia (Figs. 4D, E, 22H, I): sclerotised rings (Fig. 4E) elongate-ovoid, relatively large; posterior wall (Fig. 22H, I) with kidney-shaped dorsal structure that is uniformly spinulate; interramal sclerite with rows of spines anteriad.</p>

            <p> Remarks. This Taiwanese taxon has been regarded as a member of  Apolygopsis (Yasunaga et al., 2018) . Nonetheless, the present examination of additional specimens revealed that this species should be placed in  Chelyolygus ,  new genus , as they share the following diagnostic characters: rather polished dorsum with sparsely distributed, minute punctures on pronotum (Fig. 21A); a few rows of lines on clavus (Figs. 4A, C, 21B); brown tibial spines; two elongate spicules (Figs. 5D, 22G, 1–2) and a horn-like lobal-sclerite (Figs. 5D, 22G, 3) on vesica; small, elongate-ovoid sclerotised rings (Fig. 4E); and posterior wall with a row of spinules and small, kidney-shaped dorsal structure, lacking lateral lobe (Fig. 22H, I). </p>

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This new species is recognised by the following characters: Widely pale olive-green general colouration (Fig. 7A, C, F); small size; pale base of antennomeres I and II; brown, narrow, continuous stripes along veins on hemelytron; small, sharply pointed hypophysis of right paramere; and presence of two additional lobal-sclerites on vesica, in addition to the characters mentioned in the key.</p>
            <p>Description. Body generally pale olive green (fading to yellowish in dry-preserved specimen as in Fig. 6F, G), small, stout, tortoise-shaped (Fig. 6A, F); dorsal surface shining, shallowly and minutely punctate, with uniformly distributed, pale, short, semi-erect setae. Head shiny pale green (Fig. 6D); vertex about as wide as an eye in dorsal view, with narrow, continuous basal transverse carina; apical ¼ of clypeus infuscate (Fig. 6E). Antenna dark brown; antennomere I pale brown, with fuscous apex and slightly darkened basal ⅓; antennomere II with pale base, about as long as labium, slightly shorter than basal width of pronotum. Labium pale reddish brown, slightly exceeding apex of mesocoxa; apical half of segment IV infuscate (Fig. 6C, F). Pronotum shiny pale olive; calli pale green; thoracic pleura and scutellum creamy yellow, partly tinged with green; metathoracic scent efferent system as in Fig. 22L. Hemelytra pale olive-brown, with dark, narrow, continuous stripes along veins and sutures, on clavus, corium and exocorium (embolium); apical inner corner of corium (or paracuneus) with brown, U-shaped macula; apex of cuneus narrowly darkened; membrane smoky brown, with pale veins. All coxae and legs pale creamy brown; metafemur with two brown apical rings that are interrupted posteriad; tibial spines reddish brown, each with a brown small spot; apical half of each tarsomere III dark brown; pretarsal structure as in Fig. 22O; parempodia relatively long and wide. Ventral surface of abdomen uniformly pale olive green. Male genitalia (Figs. 6H–J, 22M): Pygophore with triangular projection at base of left paramere (Fig. 22M); right paramere with short, pointed hypophysis (Fig. 4H); left paramere C-shaped, with rather elongate process on apex of hypophysis (Fig. 4I). Vesica with two stout lobal sclerites in addition to two slender, weakly curved spicules (Fig. 4J). Female genitalia: Not examined.</p>
            <p>Measurements. See Table 1.</p>
            <p>Etymology. From Latin ‘virgulatus’ (= striped) with diminutive suffix, referring to stripes on hemelytra of this new species; an adjective.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Singapore (tropical rainforest zone).</p>
            <p> Biology. Two male (one teneral) adult individuals were collected by sweeping inflorescences of a broadleaf tree, most probably identical to  Claoxylon indicum (Reinw. ex Blume) Hassk. (  Euphorbiaceae ) (Yap EH, pers. comm.). The female specimen was found from a rambutan tree,  Nephelium lappaceum L. (  Sapindaceae ). No other information is currently available. The collection records suggest  C. virgulatellus ,  new species , has two or more generations per year. </p>

            <p>Measurements. See Table 1.</p>
            <p>Etymology. Named after my Polish colleague and friend, Andrzej Wolski (who regrettably passed away in May 2024) and his wife Tamara; I was able to collect much material and confirm the immature forms of this new species while performing fieldwork in central Thailand with Andrzej and Tamara.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Thailand (Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima), Vietnam (Ha Tay).</p>
            <p> Biology. A female adult (Fig. 7B) and final instar immature form (Fig. 7C, successfully developing into an adult female in captivity) were captured by sweep-netting the inflorescences of an undetermined evergreen broadleaf tree (possibly  Dipterocarpaceae ). Some adults (including the holotype male) were occasionally attracted to UV light at night. </p>

Most similar in external appearance to  Apolygopsis Yasunaga, Schwartz &amp; Chérot and Apolygus China, 1941; the present new genus can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: Basal transverse carina on vertex obliterated or slightly keeled; scutellum and hemelytron with densely distributed, silvery, lanceolate setae mixed with pale, simple setae; pale brown tibial spines; short, duck head shaped hypophysis of left paramere; tiny hypophysis of right paramere; three distinct long spicules on vesica; ovoid sclerotised rings that are mesally separated to each other; and simple form of posterior wall anteriorly with a pair of small, pointed processes between interramal lobes.. </p>
            <p>Description. Body oval, relatively small (3.2–4.2 mm in total length); general colouration reddish brown or castaneous; dorsal surface weakly shining, partly matte, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining setae and densely distributed, silvery, lanceolate setae (Figs. 24E, 25E); significant sexual dimorphism not recognisable. Head: Vertical (Figs. 24B, 25A); eyes large; vertex narrow, weakly concaved mesially, lacking basal transverse carina; clypeus almost flat. Antenna: Almost linear, slightly shorter than body, generally slender, not incrassate; antennomere I reddish brown, with darkened basal half; antennomeres II–IV dark brown; antennomere II with pale reddish basal half and darkened extreme base, slightly longer (male)/ shorter (female) than basal width of pronotum; antennomeres III and IV filiform. Labium: Relatively slender, reaching but not exceeding apex of metacoxa, slightly shorter than metafemur. Thorax: Pronotum shining, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining setae, sparsely and shallowly punctate, without silvery setae; calli weakly demarcated; collar flat, about as thick as antennomere III, with sparse, short, upright setae; scutellum pale brown, shallowly and transversely rugose; pleura pale brown; metathoracic scent efferent system creamy yellow, subtriangular, with narrow, somewhat convex peritreme (Figs. 24C, 25G). Hemelytron: Weakly shining, matte, with uniformly distributed, minute, circular punctures and with both pale simple setae and silvery setae; cuneus more or less suffused with red. Legs: Pale brown; each femur with several obscure annulations; tibial spines pale reddish brown, rather short; meta-tarsomere I about half as long as II or III; parempodia lanceolate. Male genitalia: Left paramere L-shaped, with developed, with elongate hypophysis terminated in apical hook; right paramere almost straight, with tiny hypophysis; vesica with two spicules and a flagellate lobal-sclerite; seminal duct weakly inflated apically; secondary gonopore circular; phallotheca smooth. Female genitalia: Sclerotised rings oval, thick-rimmed, separated from each other mesially; posterior wall relatively simple in form, anteriorly with a pair of small, pointed processes between interramal lobes, lacking dorsal structure nor lateral lobe; interramal lobe narrow, with sparsely distributed, scaly microstructures along posterior margin.</p>
            <p> Etymology. Named for the plant associations of the known congeners with  Euphorbiaceae broadleaf angiosperms, combined with the mirine generic name  Lygus Hahn ; gender masculine. </p>
            <p> Discussion. Judging from the patterns of vesical sclerites,  Euphorbialygus ,  new genus , appears to be related to  Apolygopsis Yasunaga, Schwartz &amp; Chérot and Apolygus China. Nonetheless, presence of the silvery, lanceolate setae on the dorsum and the form of the female genitalia (e.g., ovoid, mesally separated sclerotised rings and wider interramal lobes on posterior wall) in  Euphorbialygus ,  new genus , are evidently different from those of the two known genera. </p>
            <p> Euphorbialygus ,  new genus , currently comprises two thermophilic members, associated with  Euphorbiaceae hosts and distributed in the southern foothills of the Himalayas and Indochina. </p>

            <p> Diagnosis. This new species is recognised by the characters mentioned in the generic diagnosis but can be distinguished from the other congener,  E. rufobrunneus , by its smaller size; apically situated, dark, ovoid spot on cuneus; shorter hypophysis and triangularly projected sensory lobe of left paramere; sharp, longer flagellate lobal-sclerite on vesica; distinct paired process on posterior wall; and sparsely distributed scaly microstructures on interramal lobe. The final (5th) instar immature form is recognised by its ovoid body shape; greyish dorsum speckled with reddish brown maculae; and antenna and leg with reddish brown annulations or spots (Fig. 8D). </p>
            <p>Description. Body generally reddish brown or brick-red, oval, comparatively small; dorsal surface weakly shining (Fig. 8A, C). Head shiny reddish brown, with sparsely distributed, short, semi-erect setae; jugum and lorum whitish; clypeus dark reddish brown (Fig. 8B). Antenna dark brown; antennomere I pale reddish brown, with basal ⅓–½ darkened; antennomere II with pale basal half and basal dark ring; extreme base of antennomere III creamy yellow. Labium shiny pale brown, reaching or slightly exceeding apex of metacoxa; base of segments III and almost whole IV darkened (Fig. 8B). Pronotum shining, uniformly pale reddish brown; pleura reddish brown, partly speckled with reddish suffusions (but fading to uniformly pale brown in dry-preserved specimens); collar smooth, without micro-setae or pruinosity (Fig. 24B, C); ventral margin of propleuron, posterior margin of mesepisternum and metathoracic scent efferent system creamy yellow; scutellum matte, with a pair of obscure maculae (Fig. 8A, C). Hemelytra matte, with somewhat darkened apical part of clavus and inner part of corium; cuneus pale reddish brown, with a dark, circular spot at posterolateral margin; membrane smoky brown, tinged with red anteriorly, with pale veins. All coxae and legs pale brown, partly suffused with red; apical part of each femur more or less speckled with brown spots or maculae; each tarsomere III dark brown; pretarsal structures as in Fig. 24H. Abdomen pale reddish brown, partly with sanguineous spots. Male genitalia (Figs. 9 A−E, 24I–K): Hypophysis of left paramere short, with hooked apex (Fig. 9A). Vesical spicule relatively slender, weakly curved apically; flagellate lobal-sclerite long (Fig. 9E, 24I). Female genitalia (Figs. 10 A−F, 24L–O): Sclerotised rings ovoid (Fig. 10E); posterior wall with a pair of distinct processes anteriorly (Fig. 24N); interramal lobes narrow, with sparsely distributed scaly microstructures on distal ⅓ (Fig. 24O).</p>
            <p>Measurements. See Table 1.</p>
            <p>Etymology. Named after the type locality, Nanglong (Nakhon Nayok, Thailand); a noun in apposition.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Thailand (Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Ratchasima).</p>
            <p> Biology. In Nakhon Nayok, central Thailand, the adults including a few teneral (freshly emerging) individuals and final instar nymph (Fig. 8D) were obtained from the inflorescence and flower-buds of  Homonoia riparia Lour. (  Euphorbiaceae ) along a stream (Fig. 8G). </p>

            <p> Himalisundacoris ,  new genus</p>
            <p> Type species.  Himalisundacoris duwalae ,  new species . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. Based on the similar surface and male genitalic structures,  Himalisundacoris ,  new genus , is assumed to be most closely related to  Sabactiopus Zheng &amp; Lin, 2002 , from which  Himalisundacoris ,  new genus , is distinguished readily by the following unique characters: Body generally larger; vertex smooth, lacking basal transverse carina (that is faintly recognisable in some species); left paramere with flattened sensory lobe and distinctly hooked (or shovel-headed or spade-shaped) apex; right paramere very tiny, with bulbous sensory lobe; interramal lobe with densely distributed, scaly microstructures.  Himalisundacoris ,  new genus , is also at first sight reminiscent of the European genus  Liocoris Fieber, 1858 (e.g., similar colour pattern and body shape, and shiny dorsum); however, the latter has the punctate dorsum and completely different genitalic structures (cf. Schwartz &amp; Foottit, 1998). </p>
            <p> Description. Body small to moderate in size, ovoid, relatively stout, not sexually dimorphic in general shape; basic colouration pale brown to fuscous; dorsal surface polished, oily shiny, impunctate, with sparsely distributed, pale, simple, semi-erect setae but nearly glabrous in some species. Head: Smooth, shining, somewhat oblique in lateral view, with sparsely distributed, short setae; eyes contiguous to anterior margin of pronotal collar; vertex shallowly sulcate or concaved mesally, without basal transverse carina; clypeus infuscate. Antenna: Slightly longer than or as long as body, almost linear; antennomeres I and II similar in colour pattern to those of  Chelyolygus ,  new genus , darkened apically (or at apex); antennomere II more or less darkened at base, relatively short, shorter than antennomeres III+IV antennomeres III and IV filiform; antennomere III as long as or longer than width of head across eyes. Labium: Relatively long, reaching or slightly exceeding apex of metacoxa. Thorax: Pronotum shiny, highly polished, almost glabrous or with sparsely distributed, short, semi-erect setae, impunctate; calli not clearly demarcated; collar shagreened, narrow, about as thick as antennomere III; thoracic pleura shining; propleuron not margined nor carinate; metathoracic scent efferent system, with small peritreme (Fig. 2B, K); scutellum polished, impunctate, weakly arched. Hemelytron: Oily shiny, variable in colour, impunctate, declivous at cuneal fracture, with sparsely (sometimes rather densely) distributed, pale, simple, semi-erect setae. Legs: Relatively long; tibial spines pale brown or reddish brown; meta-tarsomere II about as long as III; pretarsal structures as in Fig. 26I, O; parempodium relatively short. Male genitalia: Parameres highly asymmetrical; left paramere with hypophysis flattened, distinctly hooked (or shovel-headed or spade-shaped) apically and sensory lobe more or less projected basally; right paramere very tiny, with bulbous sensory lobe and simple, small hypophysis; vesica with at least two spinulate lobal-sclerites, without spicule; secondary gonopore thick-rimmed, small, rounded; apex of phallotheca smooth. Female genitalia: Genital chamber with relatively wide dorsal sac; sclerotised rings narrow, thin-rimmed, separated to each other mesally; posterior wall lacking dorsal structure or lateral lobe; interramal lobe relatively developed, densely covered with scaly microstructures instead of spinules. </p>
            <p>Etymology. Named for distribution pattern of the congeners of this new genus, known widely from the Himalayas and Sundaland, combined with Greek noun, ‘koris’ (= heteropteran bug); gender masculine.</p>
            <p> Discussion. This new genus is assumed to be sister to  Sabactiopus Zheng &amp; Lin, 2002 (see below). Both genera share the following characters: Dorsal surface shiny, well-polished, almost impunctate; head smooth, only with sparse vestiture; clypeus infuscate; pronotum and scutellum shiny, without puncture nor wrinkle; vesica widely membranous, with two spinulate lobal-sclerites, lacking spicule; secondary gonopore rounded, thick-rimmed; posterior wall lacking dorsal structure nor lateral lobe. However,  Sabactiopus is separable from  Himalisundacoris ,  new genus in having definitive characters, including presence of basal transverse carina on vertex (Fig. 34K, M); antennomere III as long as or slightly longer than IV; scutellum fuscous, surrounded by creamy yellow margin (Fig. 7G–H); right paramere conventional in shape and size (Fig. 35E, K); narrower sclerotised ring (Fig. 35G); and interramal lobe densely covered with spinules instead of scaly microstructures (cf. Figs. 27H, M vs. 35I, O). </p>
            <p> Incidentally, the extremely tiny, shortened right paramere possessed by  Himalisundacoris ,  new genus is not commonly found in the tribe  Mirini . So far as I am aware, members of  Charagochilus Fieber, 1858 have similarly reduced right parameres. However,  Charagochilus species are characterised by the heavily punctate dorsum, and totally different structures of the vesica and female genitalia (cf. Yasunaga, 2023). Therefore, the remarkable asymmetry of the parameres shared by the two genera is simply interpreted as a homoplasy. Additional undescribed congeners are remaining in Indonesia (Schwartz MD, pers. comm.), and further investigation is encouraged to clarify the whole fauna of  Himalisundacoris ,  new genus . </p>

            <p> Paralygocoris ,  new genus</p>
            <p> Type species.  Paralygocoris balicus ,  new species . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. This new genus is externally similar to  Lygocoris Reuter, 1875 and  Neolygus Knight, 1917 , as evidenced by previous placements of two known species (  Lygocoris vittulatus and  Neolygus meridionalis which are herein transferred to  Paralygocoris ,  new genus ). However,  Paralygocoris ,  new genus , is distinct in having the following diagnostic characters: Body pale brown or ivory brown, with darkened clypeus, antennomere I, posterior pronotum, anterior-mesal scutellum, inner part of clavus and apical part of corium; tibiae with dark brown spines; hypophysis of right paramere reduced, small; vesica bilobate, with a single, elongate, apically curved spicule, lacking other noticeable sclerite; female genital chamber, along with sclerotised rings, narrow; posterior wall without lateral lobe; dorsal structure basally fused with interramal lobes; and interramal lobe spinulate only along posterior margin. </p>
            <p> Description. Body, elongate oval, moderate in size, subparallel-sided; not sexually dimorphic in general shape (usually female is more oval); basic colouration pale or ivory brown, with similar dark pattern as in Fig. 12H, J, K, M, O; dorsal surface shining, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining setae. Head: Shining, vertical in lateral view, almost glabrous; eyes large, contiguous to anterior margin of pronotal collar; vertex narrow, shallowly sulcate mesally, without noticeable basal transverse carina. Antenna: Widely darkened, slightly shorter than body, almost linear; antennomere I always dark, about as long as IV; antennomere II sometimes with pale base, longer than basal width of pronotum or labium; antennomeres III and IV filiform. Labium: Relatively short, reaching but not exceeding apex of mesocoxa, obviously shorter than metafemur. Thorax: Pronotum shiny, always darkened posteriorly (except for pale posterior margin), with rather sparsely distributed, short, semi-erect setae, lacking noticeable punctures; calli reduced, weakly demarcated; collar shagreened, narrow, flat, about as thick as antennomere III; propleuron not margined nor carinate; metathoracic scent efferent system subtriangular, with relatively flat peritreme; scutellum smooth, more or less darkened mesad, impunctate, flat. Hemelytron: Moderately shining, with similar dark pattern on clavus and corium, shallowly and irregularly rugose, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining setae; lateral margin of exocorium (embolium) slightly rounded. Legs: Moderate in length; metafemur apically with two brown or reddish brown rings; tibial spines dark brown to fuscous; meta-tarsomere II longer than III; pretarsal structures as in Figs. 31K, 33F. Male genitalia: Left paramere L-shaped, similar to that of  Neolygus (e.g., Fig. 16A, B); hypophysis of right paramere reduced, small; vesica bilobate, with a single, elongate, apically curved spicule and long spinulate lobe, lacking other noticeable lobal-sclerite; phallotheca rather expanded, with a subapical, thin, semi-circular fin-like process. Female genitalia: Genital chamber, along with sclerotised rings, narrow (Fig. 16F); posterior wall without lateral lobe; dorsal structure basally fused with interramal lobes; interramal lobe spinulate only along posterior margin. </p>
            <p> Etymology. Named for the superficial resemblance to a mirine genus  Lygocoris Reuter , with a Greek prefix, ‘ para- ’ (similar, apart from, etc.); gender masculine. </p>
            <p> Discussion. This unique genus is established for three thermophilic members inhabiting the Oriental Region and Wallacea, and is distinct from superficially similar genera (  Lygocoris Reuter and  Neolygus Knight ) by the diagnostic characters mentioned above. As mentioned in some related works (e.g., Yasunaga et al., 2012; Yasunaga, 2023, 2024), a large number of known species as well as undescribed ones (liable to be placed in such genera) occurring in the Oriental Region and Wallacea may be representatives of  Miyamotolygus ,  Prolygus , and other (new) genera. In tropical Asia, ‘genuine’ members of  Lygocoris and  Neolygus are apparently restricted to cool montane zones. </p>
            <p>Although many of the above-mentioned taxa have the similar-shaped left parameres, each group is distinct in the pattern of vesical sclerites and female genitalic structures, which is currently considered homoplasy. Further continuing endeavour is required to clarify relevant taxa as much as possible in order to elucidate their plausible phylogenetic relationships.</p>

            <p> Remarks. Yasunaga et al. (2018) retained the original generic placement of this taxon in  Prolygus (type species:  Lygus papuanus Poppius, 1914 , Fig. 32L–O). However, the following morphological characters support its proper placement in  Paralygocoris ,  new genus : clavus lacking rows of lines along claval vein (Fig. 32A, B); vesica with a single spicule that is coiled subapically and similar in basic colour pattern to  P. meridionalis (see Carvalho, 1987, p. 140, figs. 5–8); female genital chamber narrow (Fig. 32D); and posterior wall with small interramal lobe and triangular, mesally continuous lateral lobe (Fig. 32E, F).  Prolygus congeners share the different character status, such as clavus at least basally with two or three rows of keeled lines parallel to claval vein (Fig. 32L); vesica with 2–4 spicule or lobal sclerites (Fig. 32J, M); wider genital chamber (Fig. 32N); and posterior wall with developed, wide interramal lobe and paired lateral lobes (Fig. 32K, O). Based on these evidences,  Prolygus alboscutellatus is herein transferred to  Paralygocoris ,  new genus . Both  Paralygocoris alboscutellatus and  P. meridionalis are considered Sundaland species. However, they appear to be allopatric with each other (the former in Oriental-Wallacea and the latter in continental Eurasia). </p>

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This new species can be distinguished from other congeners by the characters mentioned in the above key, in addition to the identical male and female genitalic structures, such as short, rather bulbous right paramere with small, blunt-tipped hypophysis (Fig. 16C); slender, elongate vesical spicule recurved apically (Figs. 16D, 33I–L); elongate-ovoid sclerotised rings contiguous to each other mesally (Figs. 16F, 33K); and triangular dorsal structure (Fig. 33N).</p>
            <p>Description. Body yellowish or stramineous brown, elongate oval, subparallel-sided; dorsum shining, impunctate, with uniformly distributed, brown, simple setae. Head shiny pale brown, with a pair of brown, symmetrical, C-shaped maculae in front; apices of clypeus and buccula infuscate. Antenna dark brown; female antennomere II with pale basal ⅓ and obscure subbasal ring (Fig. 12J); extreme base of antennomere III creamy yellow. Labium yellowish brown, reaching middle of mesocoxa; apical half of segment IV darkened. Thoracic pleura pale brown; mesal stripe on scutellum not reaching apex; metathoracic scent efferent system as in Fig. 33C. Hemelytron shiny pale brown; inner half of clavus fuscous; corium with a pair of dark spots apically; membrane pale smoky brown. All coxae and legs yellowish brown; metafemur with two brown apical rings subapically; each tarsomere III darkened. Abdomen pale brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 16A–E, 33G–J): Sensory lobe of left paramere weakly produced apically (Figs. 16A, B, 33H); right paramere rather bulbous, with small, blunt-tipped hypophysis (Fig. 16C).

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This species is recognised readily by its moderate size and unique colour pattern on the dorsum, as mentioned in the key. Further external characters including the male genitalia, along with a habitus image, were provided by Zheng et al. (2004). The female genitalia are described for the first time.</p>
            <p>Description. Female genitalia (Figs. 17F–H, 31 L−O): Sclerotised rings narrow, ovoid, relatively contiguous to each other mesally (Figs. 17F, 31N); posterior wall rather with rather wide dorsal structure and interramal lobes (Fig. 31L); anterior part of interramal sclerite with a field of minute processes; dorsal structure with uniformly distributed spinules (Fig. 31M).</p>
            <p>Measurements. See Table 1.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Although this taxon was described as a member of  Neolygus , the dorsal colour pattern, surface structures and form of the male and female genitalia suggest its best placement lies in  Paralygocoris ,  new genus . This mirid is now known from S. China (Yunnan), Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia. Its thermophilic habitat preference in tropical and subtropical zones also implies that it is not a genuine member of  Neolygus . </p>

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This species is recognised readily by its relatively large size and unique colour pattern on dorsum (Fig. 12M, O), in addition to the characters shown in the key. The male and female genitalic structures are herein described for the first time. Detailed description of external characters was provided by Poppius (1914).</p>
            <p>Description. Male genitalia (Figs. 17A–E, 34E, F): Left paramere L-shaped, with apically inflated sensory lobe and sharply pointed apex of hypophysis; hypophysis of right paramere sharply pointed; vesical spicule elongate, stout, L-shaped. Female genitalia (Figs. 17F, 34G–I): Sclerotised rings elongate ovoid, narrow, relatively contiguous to each other mesally; dorsal structure basally fused with interramal lobes; and both of interramal lobe and dorsal structure spinulate along posterior margin.</p>
            <p>Measurements. See Table 1.</p>
            <p>Biology. Unknown. According to the collector (Takai M, pers. comm.), more than a few individuals of this mirid were captured by sweep-netting inflorescences of broadleaf trees around cultivated fields.</p>
            <p> Remarks. This taxon has been known only by the female holotype from S. Celebes [= Sulawesi] (Bua-Kraeng) (Schwartz &amp; Chérot, 2005). During sorting a number of mirine specimens collected by Mr. M. Takai (Ehime University Expedition in 1999), several samples were found to match Poppius’ species. Although Schwartz &amp; Chérot (2005) placed  Lygus vittulatus in  Lygocoris , the present close examination of the surface structures and genitalia recognised it as a member of  Paralygocoris ,  new genus . A new combination is accordingly established. </p>

            <p> Diagnosis. Being closely related to  S. sauteri (Poppius) ,  S. schuhi ,  new species can be distinguished by smaller size; narrower vertex; wider yellowish subbasal annulation on antennal antennomere II; antennomere III longer than IV; roundly inflated sensory lobe of left paramere; T-shaped apex of right paramere; anchor-shaped apex and roundly inflated sensory lobe of left paramere; narrowed sclerotised rings; and mesally separated interramal lobes, in addition to being associated with a herb from the  Urticaceae ,  Urtica dioica . </p>
            <p>Description. Body ovoid, stout, rather box-like, small-sized; in female body larger and paler in colour (Fig. 7G–I); basic colouration shiny dark reddish brown; dorsum polished, finely and sparsely punctate, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, reclining or semi-erect setae on mesoscutum, scutellum and hemelytra. Head shiny pale brown, partly tinged with red, almost glabrous; eyes small; basal transverse carina on vertex with several upright setae, about as thick as pronotal collar (Fig. 34K). Antenna dark brown; antennomere I with darkened apex, base and middle; antennomere II with pale ring at basal ⅓, as long as or slightly shorter than basal width of pronotum; base of antennomere III whitish, longer than IV. Labium pale brown, reaching but not exceeding apex of metacoxa; segment IV reddish brown. Pronotum shiny pale or reddish brown, shallowly punctate or rugose, almost glabrous (Fig. 29K); calli sometimes with a pair of dark spots, flat; pleura pale brown; metathoracic scent efferent system greyish brown, with rather flat peritreme (Fig. 35A); scutellum shiny fuscous, with creamy V-shaped margin. Hemelytron shining, pale brown or reddish brown, widely darkened posteriorly, declivous at cuneal fracture; cuneus yellowish brown apically, with dark apex; membrane pale smoky brown. Coxae and legs pale brown, partly tinged with red; meso- and metacoxa, and base of each femur more or less darkened; tibiae with dark spots or annulations at bases of pale brown spines; tarsomere III darkened; meta-tarsomere II as long as III; pretarsal structures as in Fig. 30C. Abdomen fuscous; female sterna VII–IX pale brown. Male genitalia (Figs. 18A–D, 35 D−F): Left paramere with roundly inflated sensory lobe (Figs. 30D); right paramere with elongate hypophysis and T-shaped, flat apex (Figs. 18C, 35E). Vesica widely membranous, with two lobal-sclerites, one of which is deeply notched; secondary gonopore thick-rimmed (Figs. 18D, 35F). Female genitalia (Figs. 18E–G, 35 G−I): Genital chamber with small, narrow sclerotised rings that are separated to each other (Fig. 35G); posterior wall lacking dorsal structure or lateral lobe; interramal lobe comparatively narrow, densely covered with spinules (Fig. 35I), each lobe separated mesally (Fig. 35H).</p>

            <p>Etymology. Named in honour of Dr. Randall T. Schuh (Curator Emeritus, AMNH), one of the world’s most prominent heteropterists and my long-time mentor; an adjective.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Nepal (Kathmandu Valley, Kasuki), Thailand (Chiang Mai).</p>
            <p> Biology. In Kathmandu Valley, several adults of this new species were found to inhabit  Urtica dioica L. (  Urticaceae ) and to coexist on the herb with  Himalisundacoris duwalae under deciduous/evergreen mixed broadleaf forest (Fig. 7J). On the other hand, the Taiwanese congener,  S. sauteri (Poppius) , has been collected from the inflorescences and flower-buds of broadleaf trees, such as  Styrax formosanus Matsum. (  Styracaceae ) (Fig. 7L). Chérot et al. (2017) reported that a Papua New Guinean congener,  S. zhengi Chérot, Gorczyca, Schwartz &amp; Demol, 2017 , was collected by canopy-fogging. </p>
