Body shape. Body robust, medium to large, nearly oval, never parallel-sided. Head. Subquadrate; tylus extending beyond antenniferous tubercles by half length; juga visible from above, not extending past antenniferous tubercles, not expanded laterally; eyes large and hemispheric; postocular tubercle not protuberant, nearly with contour of eye, indistinct; ocellar tubercles large, raised; interocellar distance longer than distance between ocelli and eye; antenniferous tubercles unarmed; antennal segments I and II subequal, III the shortest, IV the longest, little longer than II and III together; segments I and II robust, stout or I relatively robust and II slender; segment III robust, weakly clavate or uniformly elongate, slender; segment IV fusiform; buccula roundly, truncate, reaching mideye; rostrum reaching posterior margin of mesosoternum or just anterior border of metasternum; rostral segment II the longest, IV the shortest and I and III subequal; rostral segment I not extending past head. Thorax. Pronotum. Trapeziform; collar distinct; callar region flattened, eventually slightly raised; anterior border slightly concave; anterior angles truncated, not expanded; anterolateral margins not emarginate; anterolateral and posterolateral margins smooth or crenulate; posterior margins straight, smooth; humeri not expanded; humeral angles obtuse, rounded or slightly subacute with or without short obtuse spiny projection; Scutellum. Triangular, flattened, wider that long or equilateral; apex subacute. Hemelytra. Macropterous, reaching the apex of last abdominal segment; eventually beyond them. Thoracic pleura. Metathoracic peritreme with two auricles, the anterior reniform the posterior acute; males with large supracoxal spines on metapleuron; females unarmed. Thoracic sternum. Pro-, meso-, and metasternum not sulcate. Legs. All femora ventrally armed with one row of spines; dorsally without tubercles or spines; hind femora incrassate in males, not in females; hind tibiae not expanded; inner face of tibiae strongly spined in males. Abdomen. Body widest through abdominal sterna IV–V, and varying from relatively narrow to much wider than folded hemelytra; connexival segments III–VII not spined posteroapically; abdominal spiracle IV–VII closer to base of each segment than to apex, farther from lateral edge. Male. Genital capsule. Posteroventral border almost straight to slightly convex, with lateral angles exposed ( Figs. 80–88 View FIGURES 80–85 View FIGURES 86–88 ). Paramere. Elongate, relatively slender, apically short, with stout hook, directed outward (Figs: 89–104). Female genitalia. Abdominal sternite VII with plica and fissure; plica transversally rectangular, narrow, just reaching anterior margin of sternite VII; valvulae VIII broad, enlarged dorsoventrally; laterotergite VIII short, triangular, with spiracle visible; laterotergite IX squarish, larger than laterotergite VIII. Integument. Head, pronotum, scutellum, clavus and corium with minute erect and decumbent silvey hairs; antennal segments I–III densely pubescent with decumbent hair-like setae; IV with tiny decumbent hairs; pro-, meso- and metasternum with short erect hair-like setae; pro-, meso- and metapleuron glabrous; abdominal sterna almost glabrous with short hair-like setae along middle third. Head impunctate; pronotum, clavus and corium densely punctate, each puncture small; scutellum striate with few punctures.
Discussion. Differential diagnosis. The genus Laminiceps Costa, 1863 , is characterized by a body robust, nearly oval, never parallel-sided; hind tibiae cylindrical not expanded; rostrum never extending to abdomen with segment II the longest, IV the shortest, and I subequal to III; scutellum wider than long; humeral angles obtuse, rounded or slightly subacute with or whitout short obtuse spiny projection; and metathoracic peritreme with two auricles. The related genus Salapia Stål, 1865 is similar to Laminiceps except for the elongate body; the scutellum, longer than wide, humeri expanded, and humeral angles subacute ( Brailovsky and Barrera, 2023).
