Wolski, Andrzej, Gorczyca, Jacek, Chérot, Frédéric & Gawlak, Magdalena, 2016, Cylapofulvidius Chérot & Gorczyca, 2000 — a synonym of Fulvidius Poppius, 1909 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Cylapinae), Zootaxa 4184 (2), pp. 347-357 : 353-356

Fulvidius webbi (Chérot & Gorczyca) comb. nov.

( Figures 5 , 15 , 16–29 )

Cylapofulvidius webbi Chérot & Gorczyca 2000: 223 , 224, Figs. 1 , 10–11 , 18–19 ; Gorczyca 2006: 29.

Diagnosis. Recognized by the following characters: body relatively small (2.9–3.25); proepimeron entirely black, without a pale stripe (as on Fig. 8 ); humeral angle of pronotum, and medial part of posterior margin of pronotum with small, dirty yellow patch; apex of scutellum with relatively large, yellow patch; male genitalia as described by Chérot & Gorczyca (2000: Figs. 10–11 ) and depicted in the figure 15.

Most similar to C. zetteli , but can be easily distinguished by smaller body, pronotum without a large patch on the humeral angle, and by shape of male and female genitalia (see Chérot & Gorczyca 2000, Figs. 10–11, 15 , 16– 19 ).
