Genus
Eurystylus
Stål, 1871
E. burmanicus
(
Distant, 1904
)
(
Fig. 2
E)—
Distribution:
China (Yunnan), India, Myanmar (Karen), Nepal* (Kathmandu Valley, Makawanpur), Thailand* (Chiang Mai).—
Note:
This tropical species is considered to be a closest relative of
E. coelestialium
(
Zheng
et al.
, 2004
)
, from which
E. burmanicus
can be distinguished by the generally grayish brown body and a clear, creamy, mesal stripe on the scutellum.
E. coelestialium
(
Kirkaldy, 1902
)
—
Japan
(
Hokkaido
, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okushiri Is., Rishiri Is., Tsushima Is.,
South Chishima
[= Kuril] Islands)
, China (nearly eastern half region),
Korea
, Russian Far East (Khabarovsky and
Primorsky
)
, Taiwan*.—
Note:
This species has the northernmost distribution among the congeners, as a result of successful adaptation to cold temperate zones.
E. costalis
Stål, 1871
(
Fig. 2
F)—China (widely from northeast to central and southern parts),
Indonesia
(
Java
,
Sumatra
)
, Philippines,
Thailand
* (
Nakhon Ratchasima
),
Pacific islands
, Papua New Guinea*.
E. jingfui
Yasunaga, Nakatani & Chérot
,
n. sp.
—
Taiwan
(
Kaohsiung
).
E. luteus
Hsiao, 1941
(
Figs. 7
,

B)—
China
(
Anhui
,
Fujian
, Guandong,
Guizhou
,
Hainan
,
Jiangxi
,
Sichuan
,
Yunnan
, Zejiang)
,
Korea
?—
Note
:
What
has been identified as
E. luteus
in
Japan and Taiwan
corresponds to
E. sauteri
.
Even
the northernmost specimens in
North Korea
(
Fig. 8
B) cannot be positively separated from the
holotype
of
E. sauteri
(
Fig. 8
C). Both taxa are presumed to be conspecific (see discussion below).
