New synonyms in Oriental Geocorinae (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae)

摘要

Taxonomic changes have been made in the Geocorinae (Lygaeidae), based mainly on observation of specimens in the collection of the Natural History Museum (London). Hypogeocoris itonis (HORVATH, 1905) is transferred to its original genus Ceocoris FALLEN, 1814. Six new synonyms were established: G.jucundus (FlEBER, 1861) (= Geocoris rutiloides DISTANT, 1918 syn. n. and G. vestitus DISTANT, 1901 syn. n.), Geocoris ornatus (FlEBER, 1861) (= Geocoris walkeri LETHIERRY et SEVERIN, 1894 syn. n.), Geocoris ochropterus (FlEBER, 1844) (= Geocoris rufipennis DISTANT, 1918 syn n.), Geocoris erebus DISTANT, 1918 (= Geocoris varipes DISTANT, 1918 syn. n.), and Geocoris hirsutus MONTANDON, 1907 (= Geocoris kalighatus DISTANT, 1910 syn. n.). Lectotypes of Geocoris hirsutus MONTANDON, 1907 and Stylogeocoris biroi MONTANDON, 1913 are designated.
