Review of the phyline plant bug tribe Auricillocorini from Asia, with descriptions of a new genus and nine new species from Japan, Nepal and Thailand (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Phylinae) Author Yasunaga, Tomohide text Zootaxa 2012 3530 1 24 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.214852 a8c0634c-5ac1-492c-9e4f-186169aaafbf 1175-5326 214852 Artchawakomius moteus new species ( Figs. 1 C–D, 2, 3, 4, 8) Diagnosis. Recognized by the amber-brown basic coloration, and polished pronotum and scutellum that are not pruinosed or shagreened, in addition to the characters mentioned in generic diagnosis. Description. Male : Body generally amber-brown; dorsal surface shiny. Antenna yellowish brown, except for darkened segment IV. Pronotum and scutellum polished; anterior lobe of pronotum transversely wrinkled; apical scutellar spine dark brown; ostiolar peritreme creamy yellow. Hemelytron less shining, with three white maculae each on middle clavus, and base and subapical part of corium; corium chestnut brown posterior to apical white macula (anterior to cuneal fracture); cuneus fuscous; membrane smoky brown, except for pale, translucent apical and posterior margins. All coxae and legs pale brown. Male genital segment widely infuscate. Male genitalia ( Fig. 2 ): Right paramere somewhat tapered toward apex; apical membranous area of endosoma not developed. Female : Unknown. Measurements . 3: Total body length 3.0–3.1/ 3.0–3.2; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 2.22–2.35; head width across eyes 0.69–0.71; vertex width 0.25–0.27; lengths of antennal segment I–IV 0.20–0.23, 0.87–0.90, 0.55–0.57, 0.42–0.45; labial length 0.84–0.86; mesal pronotal length 0.63–0.69; basal pronotal width 0.76–0.78; width across hemelytron 0.76–0.84; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 0.97–1.02, 1.48–1.52, 0.26–0.27. Etymology. From a Thai noun ‘Mot (= ant)’, Latinized as an adjective. Distribution. Thailand (Nakhon Ratchasima Prov.). Biology. A bivoltine life cycle is assumed for this new species; specimens were each collected in February and August. This species resembles certain ants that similarly have brownish or amber coloration and slender body form, such as very aggressive Oecophylla species ( Formicinae ). If this mirid were associated with these ants, the body form of A. moteus would allude to Batesian mimicry.
