Stenotus (Charitocoris) pallidus Reuter, 1904

Comments. The status of Charitocoris remains unclear. The name was considered as junior synonym of Stenotus by Carvalho (1959). However, Charitocoris was regarded as a subgenus of Stenotus by Linnavuori (1975) and as a separate genus by Wagner (1974). We adopt here Linnavuori’s taxonomy, even if the Stenotus -like mirine should be carefully reviewed on a World-scale to address this problem (Chérot 2013).
