On the question of the taxonomical status of tribe Procleticini Pennington (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

摘要

Probable taxonomical connections of tribeProcleticini with others taxa of shielded-bugs are a subject ofthis paper. The parameres and aedeagi of Antestiella bequaerti,Antestiopsis cruciata, Arocera acroleuca, A. apta, Bolbocorisvariolosus, B. inaegunalis, Dendrocoris contaminatus,Holcogaster exilis, H. longicornis and Thyanta custator aredescribed in this paper. Aedeagi are described in completelystraightened and inflated condition. The general features of astructure of genitals for the specified species are consideredin paper. These features are characteristics of a structure ofparameres, theca, phallobase, ventro-lateral and dorsal lobesof conjunctiva. Dorsal lobes of conjunctiva have not beendiscovered at representatives of Asopinae, Discocephalinae,Phyllocephalinae and Podopinae with Pentatominae, exceptfor the representatives of tribes, which are considered in thispaper. Probably, it is uniform for these tribes and features, orat least, for Procleticini and Antestiini. Possible taxonomicalvalue of these features at definition of a place Procleticini insystem of Pentatomidae is discussed.
