Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae) Author Stehlík, Jaroslav L. Department of Entomology, Moravian Museum, Hviezdoslavova 29 a, CZ- 627 00 Brno – Slatina, Czech Republic text Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 2013 2013-11-15 53 2 505 584 journal article 2413 10.5281/zenodo.5739959 956fa4e4-8b18-4c70-94b2-5722d5348180 0374-1036 5739959 8D64B275-C6AF-411E-B79D-A3EBEB3D093FD Physopeltini Hussey, 1929 Physopeltini Hussey, 1929: 28 . Type genus: Physopelta Amyot & Serville, 1843 . Diagnosis. Labium reaching between meso- and metacoxae. Callar lobe gibbose or not. Ventral surface of profemora with smooth longitudinal furrow along its entire length, denticles forming two longitudinal rows, one on each side of the furrow. Parameres short, directed obliquely towards midline of the genital chamber, not crossing each other, not surpassing ventral rim of pygophore. Parameres basally wide, middle portion forming rounded lobe with sensory setae on its ventral side; apical part narrowed, straight, apically narrowly rounded ( Figs 8–12 , 30–34 , 55–59 , 75–79 ). These characters were examined in all known genera of the subfamily (except male characters of Wachsiella ). Parameres of various genera and species and their modifications were figured e.g. by ZAMAL & CHOPRA (1990) and STEHLÍK & JINDRA (2008a) . Genera included. Delacampius Distant, 1903 , Iphita Stål, 1870 , Jindraia Stehlík, 2006 , Physopelta Amyot & Serville, 1843 , and Taeuberella Schmidt, 1932 . The systematic position of the genus Wachsiella is doubtful. The profemur of this taxon lacks any longitudinal furrow ventrally, which is a diagnostic character of the tribe Physopeltini . As the genus is known only by the female sex and male characters cannot be considered to elucidate its relationships, I classify the genus here as Physopeltinae incertae sedis .
