Apiomerus nitidicollis . 1 female : PERU , Loreto , Picuroyacu , I-1988 [ MNRJ ] . Apiomerus nitidicollis was described based on specimens from northern Brazil ( Stål 1872 ). This species was further recorded from Suriname ( Costa Lima et al . 1951 ), Colombia ( Gil-Santana et al . 2003 ) and French Guiana (Gil-Santana 2022). Based on the color of the coria of hemelytra of A. nitidicollis , Stål (1872) named two varieties of it: “var. nigripennis ”, with the hemelytra completely black and “var. discopterus ”, with the central portion of the coria golden yellowish. The middle and hind legs and the abdomen were described as mostly yellowish and reddish respectively by Stål (1872) and Walker (1873) , denoting color or tone variations of the species. The female examined here agrees well with the descriptions and diagnosis of A. nitidicollis , belonging to the variety with the hemelytra blackish. The femora and connexivum are mostly reddish, while the tibiae are yellowish. Distribution. Brazil , Colombia , French Guiana , Peru ( new record ), Suriname .
