Discussion.
This
type
genus of the tribe
Auricillocorini
is presumably most closely related to
Zaratus
Distant
, on the basis of similarity of the external appearance and male genitalia.
Auricillocoris
is composed of rare species, with only
15 specimens
having so far been known. No information on the biology and morphology of the female genitalia is currently available.
