Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae) Author Stehlík, Jaroslav L. Department of Entomology, Moravian Museum, Hviezdoslavova 29 a, CZ- 627 00 Brno – Slatina, Czech Republic text Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 2013 2013-11-15 53 2 505 584 journal article 2413 10.5281/zenodo.5739959 956fa4e4-8b18-4c70-94b2-5722d5348180 0374-1036 5739959 8D64B275-C6AF-411E-B79D-A3EBEB3D093FD Subgenus Physopelta Amyot & Serville, 1843 Diagnosis. Body large (15.7–21.0 mm) and wide (5.1–7.0 mm). Labium reaching between metacoxae. Antennomere 1 long in both sexes, invariably longer than antennomere 2, as long as or sometimes even longer than pronotum. Sexual dimorphism well expressed, callar lobe strongly gibbose in males ( Fig. 13 ), weakly gibbose in females ( Fig. 14 ). Profemora in males strongly incrassate, ventral surface with longitudinal furrow in its entire length bordered with a number of spines on both sides ( Fig. 5 ). In females profemora distinctly more slender, with fewer spines. Protibia ventrally with a strong anteapical tooth and a row of small denticles along its entire length in males ( Figs 5 , 15 ), unarmed in females. Mesofemora of males ventrally with a row of small denticles, these missing in females. Allometry of males exists: the sexually dimorphic characters are much more expressed in some males than in others. Stridulatory organs in form of a large tooth (strigil) on protrochanter, matching a depression on ventral surface of procoxa (plectrum) ( Figs 1−2 ). Peritreme of metathoracic scent glands horizontal, more or less scimitar-shaped with rounded apex, from ostiole directed laterad to slightly posterolaterad ( Figs 3−4 ). Paramere with apex longer and narrower, outer margin basally angulately produced ( Figs 8−12 ). Included species. There are three species placed in Physopelta s. str. , all of them distributed in the Oriental Region . I am not aware of any undescribed species.
