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 Cleotomiris yamadakazi new species ( Figs. 3 , 4 , 5 B–C, 6, 8, 9) Diagnosis. Recognized by the largest size among congeners (so far as known), blackish brown basic coloration, dense vestiture on dorsum, terete antenna with the claviform segments II–IV, a median ear-like protuberance of the ostiolar peritreme, a clear whitish fascia across clavus and corium, elongate right paramere, long, curved apical spine of the endosoma, and toughened female bursa copulatrix; by these diagnostic characters this new species can be easily distinguished from other congeners. Description. Body large, rather elongate; basic coloration blackish brown; dorsal surface weakly shining, with uniformly distributed, silky, semierect setae and sparsely distributed, long, upright setae. Head pruinosed; basal margin of vertex narrowly carinate. Antenna dull brown, terete; segments II–IV claviform, thickened apically. Labium shiny mahogany brown, slightly exceeding apex of mesocoxa. Pronotum shallowly and irregularly punctate or rugose; collar about as thick as base of antennal segment II; pleura widely shagreened, or roughened by dense, minute sutures; ostiolar peritreme with a median, ear-like protuberance; posterior part of evaporative area ivory white. Hemelytron less shining, anteriorly with a clear, white fascia across clavus and corium; apical part of clavus and median part of corium more or less pruinosed; membrane smoky brown, with pale, translucent anterior corner. Coxae and legs dull brown, except for apical 1/2-1/3 of meso- and metacoxae pale brown; tibial spines relatively prominent. Abdomen entirely chocolate brown, widely pruinosed. Male genitalia ( Figs. 4 , 6): Genital segment with a ventral spine ( Fig. 4 ). Parameres large; left paramere with widened sensory lobe; right paramere elongate. Phallotheca nearly straight, tapered toward apex, terminated in a hook. Apical spine of endosoma very long, curved; secondary gonopore comparatively small. Female genitalia ( Fig. 9 ): Bursa copulatrix generally toughened, similar in overall appearance to those of Wygomiris ; sclerotized ring enlarged, ovoid.

Etymology. Named after Kazutaka Yamada who constantly supports the collection of mirids. Distribution. Thailand (Nakhon Nayok & Nakhon Ratchasima Provinces). Biology. Collection records suggest this new species has multivoltine life cycles. One male adult was captured from inflorescences of Mallotus sp. ( Euphorbiaceae ).
