(n. gen., descr., disc.).
TYPE
SPECIES:
Abuyogocoris abuyog
Schuh, 1984
, by original designation.
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by distinctly shiny hemelytron, head, pronotum, scutellum, and thorax; hemelytron transversely rounded and punctate, with broad and complete white to yellowish transverse fascia and large white area on the anterior margin of cuneus; cuneus small, less than
J
total area of hemelytral membrane; long erect setae on dorsal surface and long interocular setae; broad flat pronotal collar; flat vertex and broad head; fanlike, apical, posterior process on endosoma, and broad bladelike posterior process of left paramere.

Abuyogocoris
spp.
Female:
Unknown, see discussion.
HOSTS: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION:
Philippine Islands
,
Indonesia
(fig. 1).
DISCUSSION: The four known species of
Abuyogocoris
have a variety of body
types
: two species have broad eyes with a narrow vertex nearly half the width of one eye and a short body (e.g.,
A. abuyog
,
A. tawitawi
), one has a narrow vertex but elongate body, similar to
Austrodapus
(e.g.,
A. liwo
), and the fourth has a wide vertex greater in width than one eye and short body (e.g.,
A. calien
). However, the distinctive endosoma and left paramere, the punctate and shiny hemelytron, and the lack of sericeous setae support recognition of the genus. Two unidentified females that share the characteristics of
Abuyogocoris
, possibly representing a new species, have been examined from the
Northern Territory
of
Australia
.
