Cameronaptera glabrinotum n.gen., n.sp. from Malaysia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Aradidae)

摘要

A new genus of apterous Carventinae from the Malaysian mainland, Cameronaptem n. gen. with the species glabrinotum n.sp., is described and figured. Because of its habitus and abdominal structures, it is not related to any other Oriental Carventinae. Kormilev & Froeschner (1987) listed 19 genera of Carventinae from the Oriental Region. A further five genera have been described since (Sandakanaptera Vasarhelyi 1988 (Borneo); Singhalaptera Heiss 2001 (Sri Lanka); Crassocorios Bai,Heiss & Cai 2007 (China, Hainan); Taiwanaptera Heiss & Nagashima 2008 (Taiwan); and Vietnamaptera Bai,Heiss & Cai 2010 (Vietnam)), raising the number of recorded genera to 24. In 1983 the author collected a single specimen in the Malaysian Cameron Highlands which could not beplaced in one of the known genera. Additional specimens of both sexes were collected in later years by the author or presented by friends, and are now available for a comparative study. They belong to a new genus and species which are described and figured below.
