Germalus banari
Kóbor et Kondorosy, 2016
(
Fig. 16
)
Material studied: as listed in
KÓBOR and KONDOROSY (2016)
.
Diagnosis. Colouration generally ochraceous with a narrow, but well-defined, brown median longitudinal stripe extending from apex of clypeus to the middle of scutellar trifurcate carina; a thin, partly faded longitudinal fuscous line across each pronotal callosities; a rounded black spot at each humeral angle and variably defined brown sublateral bands on abdominal tergites. Eyes moderately stylate, eye stalks slightly projected; ocular sulcus complete and well-defined. Integument of vertex smooth, lacking furrows and pubescence. Pronotum trapeziform with lateral margins slightly constricted medially and posterior margin slightly convex. Scutellum subequilateral triangular with median trifurcate carina well-developed, basal angles slightly flared. Clavus of hemelytron with margins subparallel, claval commissure developed. Corial margin of clavus only punctate at basal third. Punctuation along R-M of corium not reaching corium-membrane margin. Peritreme spout, i.e., auricle with dorsal supporting projection; dorsal supporting projection moderately elongate with apex recurv- ing; evaporatorium covering mesepimeron and metepisternum.
Distribution. Endemic to
Madagascar
(
KÓBOR & KONDOROSY 2016
).
Germalus benyovszkyi
Kóbor et Kondorosy, 2016
(
Fig. 17
)
Material studied: as in
KÓBOR and KONDOROSY (2016)
.
Diagnosis. Colouration generally ochraceous with rounded dark brown spots at each humeral angles and oval dark brown spot at apex of corium. Conspicuously large species, body length above
7 mm
. Eyes moderately stylate with eye stalks straight, not projected; ocular sulcus complete, well-defined. Antenniferous tubercles protruding, visible from anterior view. Pronotum campanulate, i.e., with anterior margin strongly rounded, lateral margin posteriad to callosities constricted. Scutellum subequilateral triangular with trifurcate carina well-developed, but not flared at basal angles. Clavus of corium with corial margin punctate at entire length. Punctuation along R-M of corium reaching corium-membrane margin. Peritreme spout, i.e., auricle with dorsal supporting projection; dorsal supporting projection straight, moderately elongate; evaporatorium covering mesepimeron and metepisternum.
Distribution. The species is currently known from a single location in Northern
Madagascar
(
KÓBOR & KONDOROSY 2016
).
