Abstract

<i>Alphocoris naso</i> Rédei &amp; Tsai, sp. nov. Figs. 7–12, 22–24, 30–31, 37–40, 45, 47–48, 55–56, 63–64 <b>Type material. Holotype</b>: &amp;male;, " India, Molem, Goa, \ 120 m " [hw], "No.116. netted \ 21.II.1980. \ leg. Topál" [hw]; mounted on card, intact (HNHM). <b>Paratypes</b>: labels as in holotype (1 &amp;female; NMNS); " INDIA Molem, \ Goa, 120m " [pr], "No.116. netted \ 21.II.1980. \ leg. Topál" [hw] (1 &amp;male; 2 &amp;female;&amp;female; HNHM). <b>Diagnosis.</b> Similar to <i>A. asper</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> in size and habitus, but it can be distinguished from the latter species by the less coarse punctation of the dorsum (Figs. 7, 10) and the straight lateral margins of the posterior third of scutellum (Fig. 7). The male genitalia (Figs. 30–31, 37–40, 45, 47–48) and female terminalia (Figs. 55–56) offer seVeral diagnostic characters for separation of the two species. <b>Description.</b> <i>Colour, integument and vestiture.</i> Ground colour of dorsum stramineous with contrasting black markings on head and with more or less distinct dark longitudinal Vittae on scutellum formed by dark punctures, dull to weakly shining; head stramineous to yellow, with black markings on anterior and lateral part of clypeus, margins of mandibular plate, submedially between eyes, postocular portion, and Ventral surface of head more or less as in <i>A. caudatus</i>; antenna rather uniformly stramineous; labium stramineous, segments III and IV suffused with dark brown; pronotum, scutellum, and exposed portions of fore wings stramineous, with two pairs of more or less distinct, broad, longitudinal bands on pronotum as well as a pair of discal and a pair of marginal bands on scutellum formed by dark but not confluent punctures, punctures forming these bands are confluent and form dark patches immediately mesad and laterad of cicatrices on pronotum and bilaterally before apex of scutellum; dark punctures forming aboVe described longitudinal bands large, rather coarse, greatly confluent in male, smaller and isolated in female [...]
