Diagnosis:
All members of
Asthenocorini
have an anteromedial tooth of the prosternum (
Fig. 17
), except
Indonaucoris
gen. nov.
Comments:
This predominantly Philippine clade is represented by the three former members of Sagocorini that were transferred to
Naucorinae
by
Zettel (2007)
and a tiny (
5 mm
length)
Naucoris
-like species from
India
at its root. For this strongly supported group (pp = 1.0, bs = 100), I propose the new tribe
Asthenocorini
and the small
Naucoris
-like species at the root is described here as
Indonaucoris minutus
sp. nov.
(see description below).
Included taxa:
This tribe contains three genera endemic to the
Philippines
:
Asthenocoris
,
Philippinocoris
and
Stalocoris
. Also included is
Indonaucoris
from
Maharashtra
,
India
.
