The Oriental flat bug genus Libiocoris Kormilev 1957 revisited: re-examination synonymy and description of a new genus (Heteroptera Aradidae)

摘要

Re-examination of type specimens of Libiocoris, L.poecilus from New Guinea and other taxa assigned to this genus, the Chinese Libiocorisheissi Bai, Yang & Cai, 2006 and Libiocorissinensis Bai, Yang & Cai, 2006 proved to be synonyms, thus L.heissi = L.sinensis syn. n. They are, however, different from Libiocoris Kormilev, 1957 to which they were originally assigned and a new genus Paralibiocoris>gen. n. is proposed for them. Therefore Paralibiocorisheissi comb. n. = Libiocorisheissi Bai et al., 2006 = Libiocorissinensis Bai et al., 2006, syn. n. From Hainan Island, China, the following new species, P.roundangulus>sp. n., P.hainanensis>sp. n., and P.limuensis>sp. n., are described and figured and a key to species is provided.
