Kim leg. (DTUHMM0050); [ZCDTU] Paratypes: 1♂ 4♀♀, same data as holotype (DTUHHM0051-0055) .</p><p>Discussion. The new species Peritropis andrzeji sp. nov. is clearly assignable to the P. poppiana group, based on the key Gorczyca (2006) provided as well as a combination of morphological characters, including general body coloration, the pattern of longitudinal stripes on the hemelytra, and the structure of the male paramere.</p><p>In previous studies of Gorczyca (2006), as well as in subsequent works, species within this group have been distinguished primarily based on characters such as antennal coloration, body size, and the detailed characters of the striped hemelytral pattern (e.g., whether patches are continuous or densely clustered). Gorczyca &amp; Wolski (2007) employed similar diagnostic characters and, notably, were the first to describe the male parameres of several species within this group.</p><p>To date (except for P. similis Poppius, 1909) most species in the P. poppiana group are known from few specimens. Peritropis poppiana Bergroth, 1918 and P. javanica Poppius, 1909, for example, have only been recorded from the Philippines ( P. poppiana was recently reported from Brunei (Gorczyca et al. 2024)), and P. javanica is known only from the female holotype. Peritropis similis, by contrast, has a relatively wide distribution and is therefore represented by a larger number of records and specimens. However, despite this, its diagnostic characters remain poorly understood. In fact, a new species has been described from specimens previously identified as P. similis (Gorczyca &amp; Wolski 2007), highlighting the cryptic nature of the group (Gorczyca 2006; Gorczyca et al. 2024).</p><p>In the present study, we aim to reassess the morphological variation and interspecific boundaries within this cryptic group, based on previously published records, numerous Peritropis specimens which J. Gorczyca and A. Wolski had studied, and newly collected specimens. For the new species described herein, multiple specimens were examined and our observations reveal a certain degree of variation and continuity in the striped patterns of the hemelytra (the position, size, and density of the pale patches are variable, resulting in differences in the shape and continuity of the stripes in clavus and corium; Fig. 1A–B), which complicates species delimitation based solely on these markings. Similarly, antennal coloration, a character commonly used in keys, was found to exhibit substantial variation (attributed to sexual dimorphism; Fig. 1A–B, D), rendering it unreliable as a diagnostic character.</p><p>Gorczyca (2006) noted the presence of a pale ring or patch on the second antennal segment as a character for species within the P. poppiana group. Our examination revealed that this feature varies significantly among species: the pale ring is distinct in P. similis (Fig. 1E), but obscure or indistinct in P. poppiana (Fig. 1F). In P. javanica, the marking appears as a pale narrow ring, though only a single specimen is available (fig. 9 in Gorczyca (2006)), and, therefore, additional material is needed to confirm its consistency. In the new species P. andrzeji sp. nov., the marking is barely visible in males, whereas in females it appears more distinct, although in the form of a small spot rather than a complete ring. Depending on the viewing angle, it may appear ring-like, suggesting this species exhibits an intermediate state. Based on our observations, we conclude that – except for P. similis and P. javanica – the shape and presence of this marking are not reliable for species-level identification within the P. poppiana group.</p><p>Our observations also indicate that color patterns show greater intraspecific variation than previously recognized. In contrast, structural features, such as segment length, proportional ratio, thickness and shape, are more stable and congruent within species. Therefore, we propose that morphological diagnoses within this group should be based primarily on structural characters. When examined in this framework, the new species is clearly distinguished from all other known species. The new species P. andrzeji sp. nov. is distinguished from P. similis by the thin and linear second antennal segment without pale ring in male and with small pale spot in female (vs. thick and clavate second antennal segment with distinct pale ring in middle part); first antennal segment longer than 1/3 the length of second segment (vs. first antennal segment slightly shorter than 1/3 the length of second segment); third segment distinctly shorter than fourth segment (vs. third segment subequal to fourth segment; p. 26 in the original description by Poppius (1909), and p. 414 in Gorczyca (2006)); hypophysis of left paramere downturned (vs. hypophysis not downturned; fig. 7 in Gorczyca &amp; Wolski (2007) and fig. 47 in Yeshwanth et al. (2016)); and endosoma with two long spicules (vs. endosoma without long spicules but with setae-shaped structures; fig. 48 in Yeshwanth et al. (2016)). This new species is also distinguished from P. poppiana by first antennal segment longer than 1/3 the length of second segment (vs. first antennal segment subequal to 1/3 the length of second segment); first segment longer than third segment (vs. first segment shorter than third segment); third segment shorter than fourth segment (third segment subequal to fourth segment) (p. 119 in the original description by Bergroth (1918)); and hypophysis of left paramere downturned (vs. hypophysis upturned; fig. 5 in Gorczyca &amp; Wolski (2007)). Peritropis andrzeji sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. javanica by somewhat large body, more than 4 mm in female (vs. small body, about 3.3 mm in female in original description by Poppius (1909), but about 3.6 mm in Gorczyca (2006)); first antennal segment longer than 1/3 the length of second segment (vs. first antennal segment clearly shorter than 1/3 the length of second segment). In terms of the proportion of first and second antennal segments and subequal length of third and fourth antennal segments, this new species is similar to P. ernsti Gorczyca, 2006, but it can be distinguished by large-sized body, more than 3.8 mm (vs. small-sized body, about 2.4 mm); and tibia dark brown with pale rings at middle (vs. tibia pale with a brownish longitudinal stripe).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B1538796FFB0FFC6EEE1BA0196504EB2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Although all individuals of the new species P. cheroti sp. nov. lack femora, tibiae and tarsi and the tarsal structure has been considered one of the diagnostic characters, other characters place this species as a member of Peritropis, according to the generic diagnosis provided in Wolski &amp; Henry (2012).</p><p>The new species P. cheroti sp. nov. is easily distinguished from congeners by the pale dorsum with mottled spots; the first and second antennal segments mostly pale; and the membrane without spots. According to Gorczyca (2006), this new species may be assigned to the P. suturella group based on the unspotted membrane. In addition, among the Peritropis species, this new species is probably closest to P. setosicornis Bergroth, 1920, which was placed in P. suturella group by Gorczyca (2006), but can be distinguished by the small body size, approximately 3.4 mm (vs. large body, more than 4 mm); second antennal segment as thick as first segment (vs. second segment thinner than first segment); embolium mostly brownish except for pale apical part (vs. embolium entirely brownish); and cuneus with pale circular marking at inner part (vs. cuneus entirely dark brown).

This new species is also easily distinguished from another congener, P. suturella Poppius, 1914, by generally pale dorsum with tiny spots (vs. dorsum generally dark brown); pronotum pale brown with dark spots (vs. pronotum mostly dark brown with a pale medial stripe); and cuneus with pale circular marking at inner part (vs. cuneus entirely dark brown).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B1538796FFB4FFC8EEE1BC4395834E96	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to Gorczyca (2006), this species was first described from northern Thailand. The fact that it has also been reported in central Vietnam (specifically in Da Nang) suggests a broad distribution across the Indochina Peninsula, spanning both the West (Chiang Mai, Thailand) and the East (Da Nang, Vietnam). Chiang Mai, located in the northern part of Thailand, is a highland area with a mixed tropical and temperate environment, whereas Da Nang is a coastal region in central Vietnam, characterized by a tropical monsoon climate, consistently high humidity, and lowland evergreen forests, which contrasts with the cooler, montane environment of Chiang Mai. Despite these environmental differences, the occurrence of P. thailandica in both regions suggests that the species may have a much broader distribution.</p><p>Although a record of P. thailandica was recently added for China (Liu et al. 2022), based on the description and the plate illustration (p. 268 and fig. 165 in Liu et al. (2022)), it seems that a different species may have been mistakenly identified. Therefore, in this paper, we have only recognized the distribution of this species in Thailand and Vietnam.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B1538796FFBAFFC9EEE1BC6C945E4BBD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
