Diagnosis
Head shiny, contrasting with a dull pronotum and hemelytra. Pronotum and scutellum without erect setae. Distiflagellomere and hemelytra uniformly coloured cinnamon brown. Profemora pale yellowish brown.
Heraeus cinnamomeus
and
H. costalis
sp. nov.
are the only two species of the
coquilletti
group that have a shiny head, contrasting with a dull pronotum and hemelytra, and the scutellum lacking erect setae. The general colouration of
H. cinnamomeus
is cinnamon brown, with distiflagellomeres and hemelytra uniformly coloured, whereas
H. costalis
sp. nov.
is dark brown with the distiflagellomere mostly white and with the apex darker.
