leg.,
type
10079 (
MZHF
) [The specimen bears original identification label with the mention “
Adelphocoris sumatranus
n. sp.
” and a second label with the mentions “
A. sumatranus
” and “not
A
., possibly belonging to
Orientomiris
”. It was apparently dissected—abdomen lacking].
Diagnosis.
Body yellow to reddish-brown. Head yellowish brown, vertex medially dark red, eyes dark brown with light gray patches. Sulcus of vertex thin, very narrow. First antennal segment yellowish-brown, apically clublike, second antennal segment reddish-brown apically and basally, yellowish brown sub-medially, third and fourth segments missing. Apical collar and pronotal disk as well as pronotal callosities yellowish-brown, posterior margin of pronotum dark red. Scutellum reddish-brown to dark brown similar to clavus. Endocorium reddish-brown, exocorium yellowish-brown, cuneus reddish-brown. Membrane light brown. Dorsal pilosity white, recumbent or semi-erect.
Discussion.
The
type
of
O
. sumatranus
conforms to our diagnosis of
Orientomiris
on the basis of its external anatomy; hence we suggest the new combination. The
holotype
was originally from MCSN (Genoa) (
Poppius 1915a
) but it is now preserved in MZHF.
