Taxonomic notes.
This species is known only from single female. A condition of the
holotype
is very poor and does not allow dissecting the genitalia without the threat of destruction of the specimen. This species is transferred into
Proboscidocoris
on the basis of claws toothed basally (
Fig. 19 P
) and clearly elongated and strongly pointed preocular part of the head (
Fig. 27 D, F
).
