Alloeomimus
Reuter
Diagnosis.
Recognized by the slender, narrow, ant-mimetic body with long antennae and legs; relatively small size; fuscous general coloration; globular head with small eye; and noticeable white maculae on hemelytron. Schuh (1984) provided further diagnostic characters.
Discussion.
This small genus is composed of six species, known from the Ethiopian and Oriental regions, and Mediterranean areas. In Southeast Asia, only a single species,
A. muiri
, has been recorded from Indochina and
Indonesia
(Java).
Almost no information is available on the biology of any
Alloeomimus
members. Wagner (1974) reported that a species from Mid East,
A. kurdus
Hoberlandt
, sometimes inhabits galls of aphids, without indicating any plant association.
