Grypocoris genus

( Fig. 2 , node 16).

Five species of Grypocoris are currently known in Palearctic region, which only G. fieberi and G. golestanicus are documented from Iran (occurrence of G. ajderensis Putshkov, 1975 remains doubtful (see Aukema et al. 2013; Zamani & Hosseini 2018)). Grypocoris is a monophyletic group according to IW morphological analysis, with 61% support. This clade is supported by two synapomorphies: pretarsal with claw tooth (51-1) and pulvilli absent (53-0), and two other morphological characters including: shape of secondary gonopore (71-0) and sclerotized rings (79-1). In these analyses, genus Camponotidea ( Herdoniini tribe) is united with Grypocoris as a sister group due to several morphological characters (e.g. size of eyes (12- 0) and position of metacoxae (46-1)). In the present study, the monophyly of Grypocoris is studied for the first time.
