Cylapinus yasunagai , new species

( Figs 3b, 8a, 12d–f)

Diagnosis. Recognized by the following set of features: scutellum dark castaneous with three yellow patches ( Fig. 3b); corium with narrow patch medially, not reaching outer margin of clavus ( Fig. 3b); secondary gonopore undifferentiated, medial sclerotization indistinct ( Fig. 12d).

Description. COLORATION ( Fig. 3b, 7a). Dorsum dark castaneous with yellow areas. Head. Dark red brown to entirely black; antennal segment I dark yellow tinged with red; segment II from yellow tinged with dark brown apically to entirely dark brown; segments III and IV dark brown; labium yellow with red and fuscous areas. Thorax. Pronotum. Dark castaneous. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Dark castaneous; scutellum with two patches basolaterally and one apically. Thoracic pleura. Dark castaneous; metathoracic scent gland evaporative area yellow. Hemelytron. Dark castaneous with dark yellow areas; clavus and corium dark castaneous, corium with yellow patches – one basally and other medially; embolium dark yellow; cuneus dark brown, yellow basally; membrane fuscous. Legs. Dark yellow with brown and dark brown areas. Abdomen. Dark castaneous. TEXTURE AND VESTITURE. As in generic description. STRUCTURE ( Fig. 3b). Thorax. Pronotum. Collar broad, about as wide antennal segment I diameter; calli broadly developed, about the same size as eye diameter. Genitalia. Endosoma simple, with well-developed, straight, medial sclerite narrowing toward apex, acute apically ( Fig. 12d). Left paramere when viewed dorsally ovoid, apex short and narrowed ( Fig. 12e). Right paramere apical process short, strongly narrowing toward apex; sensory lobe prominent, rounded ( Fig. 12f).
