( Fig. 5a View FIGURE 5 )

Cylapus nubilus Distant, 1893: 421 View in CoL (sp. nov).

Cylapus nubilus: Bergroth 1920: 71 View in CoL (list); Carvalho & Dolling 1976: 803 (discussion of type).

Cylapus (Cylapus) nubilus: Carvalho 1957: 30 View in CoL (catalog).

Peltidocylapus nubilus: Carvalho & Fontes 1968: 276 View in CoL (list); Carvalho & Dolling 1976: 803 (discussion of type); Schuh 1995: 32 (catalog), 2002–2013 (online catalog); Gorczyca 2006a: 18 (catalog).

Diagnosis. Recognized by the following set of characters: dorsum mostly dark brown; antennal segment II entirely dark brown; pronotal disc without any swelling medially; scutellum with weakly convex, narrow longitudinal swelling medially ( Fig 5a View FIGURE 5 ).

Description. Female. COLORATION ( Fig 5a View FIGURE 5 ). Dark brown with small yellow areas. Head. Dark brown; antenna and labium dark brown. Thorax. Pronotum, scutellum, and mesoscutum. Dark brown. Thoracic pleura. Dark brown; metathoracic scent gland evaporative areas yellow. Hemelytron. Dark brown; clavus with small yellowish patch subapically, bordering claval suture. Legs. Dark brown with brown areas; femora with dark yellow band near apex. Abdomen. Dark brown, tinged with dark yellow. TEXTURE AND VESTITURE ( Fig 5a View FIGURE 5 ). Thorax. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Covered with short, fine, recumbent setae. Hemelytron. Covered with vestigial, adpressed vestiture. STRUCTURE ( Fig 5a View FIGURE 5 ). Thorax. Pronotum. Posterior lobe flat. Scutellum. With weakly convex, narrow longitudinal medial swelling.

Male. Unknown.

Measurements. Lectotype ♀. Body. Length: 4.40, width 1.40. Head. Length: 0.45, width: 0.97, interocular distance 0.32. Antenna. Length of segment I: 0.52, II: 1.6, III and IV broken. Labium. Immeasurable, obscured by clue. Pronotum. Length: 0.67, width of anterior margin: 0.82, length of lateral margin: 0.62, width of posterior margin: 1.45.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Panama (Chiriquí).

Remarks. Most like P. cerbereus in sharing relatively small body (smaller than 5.0 mm) and corium uniformly colored ( Figs 4c View FIGURE 4 , 5a View FIGURE 5 ). P. cerbereus can be distinguished by the lack of pale patches on each basolateral angle of scutellum and uniformly colored antennal segment II.

Type material. Lectotype ♀: Lectotype (round label); V. de Chiriqui 25–4000 ft. Champion ; B.C.A. Hem. I Cylapus nubilus (BMNH) .
