Type-species by original designation: Pseudophatnoma corniculata Blöte, 1945 . Froeschnerocader Péricart, 1986 : 245; synonymized by Péricart, 1991 : 49. Type-species by original designation: Froeschnerocader denticollis Péricart, 1986 . Diagnostic characters for the genus. Head apex not reaching the distal ends of the first antennal segment; head dorsal surface with two pairs of thin long spines, i.e., the jugo-frontal spines (located on the level of the base of the clypeus), and the preocular spines (located between the eyes); bucculae very low ( Fig. 1 ). Rostrum long, reaching at least the third abdominal segment ( Fig. 1 C). Pronotal disc convex with five longitudinal carinae ( Fig. 1 B); paranota wide, bilobed, bearing the forward-directed spine-like projection in its triangular anterior lobe ( Figs. 1 A and B). Scutellum entirely or partially covered by the posterior margin of pronotum. Hemelytra wide, broadly expanded at their bases, tiny areolated; its costal area wide, bearing 9–11 rows of areolae at mid-length; subcostal area with several indistinct transverse veins; discoidal area with one or two transverse veins. FIGURE 1. Pseudophatnoma laosana : A—body dorsal view B—head and pronotum, dorsal view, C—head and thorax, ventral view. Scale bar=1.0 mm. FIGURE 2. Pseudophatnoma laosana : A—pygophore, dorsal view, B—pygophore, ventral view. Scale bar=0.5 mm. Diagnostic characters for P. laosana . It differs from other species of the genus in having the scutellum not entirely covered by the posterior margin of pronotum and therefore partially visible in dorsal view – Fig. 1 B (in the two other species it is invisible, being entirely covered by the posterior margin of pronotum). Moreover, the costal area is widest at its posterior part ( Fig. 1 ), whereas in P. denticollis and P. corniculata it is widest at its mid-length. The male genitalia are illustrated in Fig. 2 . Material examined . CHINA : 1♂ , Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Mengla County, Menglun Township, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden ( 21.93°N , 101.25°E ), 531 m , 15.VIII.2010 , light trapped, K. Dang leg. THAILAND : 1♂ , Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Sakaerat Silvicultural Research Station, 25.IX.2013 , A. Wolski leg. Distribution . China (new record), Laos , Thailand (new record). Remarks . Sizes of both newly collected specimens differ from those of the type specimen from Laos ; therefore, updated measurements (in mm) for P. laosana are provided as follows: total body length: 7.41–7.70; body width: 3.57– 3.70; length of pronotum: 1.45–1.90; width of pronotum: 1.85–2.00; length of hemelytra: 5.18–5.45; length of discoidal area: 3.40–3.60; length of antennal segments: I 0.25–0.26, II 0.22–0.23, III 2.96–3.28, IV 0.57–0.64.
