Diagnosis

Eritingis recentis can be distinguished from other species of Eritingis based on a combination of the following characteristics: body length 3.0-3.2 mm, 3.3 times as long as maximum width across hemelytra (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 a-d); rostrum reaching anterior margin of metasternum (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 a); anterior margin of hood protruding anteriad in middle part (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 b); anterior margin of hemelytron nearly straight (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 c); costal area distinct, with a single row of areolae throughout its length; subcostal area with 1-2 rows of areolae in basal part and 2 rows in remaining parts; discoidal area with 5-6 rows of areolae at widest part; sutural area with 9 rows of areolae at widest part; and female terminalia pentagonal in ventral view (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 d).

Distribution

Japan (Ryukyu Islands: Okinawa Honto Is.) (Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ), Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam ( Drake and Ruhoff 1965a, Drake and Ruhoff 1965b, Tomokuni 2008, present study).

The discovery of Eritingis recentis from Japan represents the northernmost distributional record of Eritingis species.

Biology

Adults have been collected in almost all seasons ( Drake and Ruhoff 1965b, Tomokuni 2008, present study). The host plant for Eritingis recentis is unknown (Drake and Ruhoff 1965a, Tomokuni 2008).

Taxon discussion

The above recorded specimens match well with the photographs of the holotype ( United States National Museum of Natural History 2021), illustrations ( Drake and Ruhoff 1962, Drake and Ruhoff 1965b) and original description ( Drake and Poor 1937a) of Eritingis recentis described from Singapore.

Eritingis recentis is highly similar to E. agyiates in general appearance. The latter is distinguished from the former by the body length 2.7 mm and the rostrum reaching the anterior margin of mesosternum.
