Author TentatDAG text Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 2008 2008-12-08 48 2 523 532 journal article 4602 10.5281/zenodo.5341658 1631e77c-f93e-4f6c-834a-72243d3f0d52 0374-1036 5341658 Subtribe Scotinopharina subtrib. nov. Type genus. Scotinophara Stål, 1867 . Diagnosis. Dorsal surface of head convex along midline. Tooth on anterior part of bucculae lost. Jugae initially not closed before clypeus. Transverse carina present on pronotum. Metathoracic scent gland opening and evaporatorium as in the Podopina . Ventral infolding of pygophore bent dorsad ( Fig. 3 ). Medial parts of parandria standing apart from their lateral parts and appearing as a large plate lying in frontal plane ( Fig. 3 ). Sensory process of paramere short. Ventrolateral lobes of conjunctiva reduced to barely distinguishable vestiges or absent ( Fig. 8 ). Medial penal plates not differentiated into longitudinal bands and apical processes, and lying on lateral surfaces of conjunctiva. The setae covering the dorsal surface of the body of most primitive representatives of the group are as in the Kayesiina; in other genera, the setae are rather long and dense. Genera included. The subtribe includes at least nine genera: Amauropepla Stål, 1867 ; Aspidestrophus Stål, 1854 ; Coracanthella Musgrave, 1930 ; Haullevillea Schouteden, 1903 ; Gambiana Distant, 1911 ; Melanophara Stål, 1876 ; Oncozygidea Reuter, 1884 ; Scotinophara Stål, 1867 ; and Storthecoris Horváth, 1883 . Distribution. Mainly in the Indo-Malayan and Ethiopian Regions; Scotinophara sicula (A. Costa, 1841) is distributed in southern Europe and introduced to North America ( ROLSTON et al. 1984 ). Note. The genera Moffartsia Schouteden, 1908 , and Sepidiocoris Schouteden, 1903 , belonging to the Podopini , and the unplaced genera Burrus Distant, 1908 , and Eobanus Distant, 1901 , have not been studied in this work.
