Rajburicoris gen. nov.
Type species. Rajburicoris stysi sp. nov.
Description. Male ( Fig. 1 View Figs ). Dorsal surface smooth except rough pronotum, with uniformly distributed, dense, erect hairs.
Head produced anteriorly; row of hairs at level of posterior border of eyes present; eyes attaining 2/3 of head length, surpassing ventral outline and slightly surpassing dorsal outline of head in lateral view; almost reaching the rostrum in ventral view; frons straight, finely punctate; ocelli large and elevated. Rostrum slightly surpassing middle coxae. Antennae: thick, pedicellus thinner basally; long and erect hairs uniformly distributed, some of them longer than width of segment.
Thorax. Pronotum with carinate lateral margin; collar present, narrow; anterior and posterior lobe well delimited by transversal sulcus; basal margin slightly concave. Scutellum with basal transversal sulcus; central parastigmatic fossulae absent, basal pair of parastigmatic fossulae present on basal third of lateral margin. Exocorium without flattened bristles. Ratio of width of apex of exocorium (between C and Sc) to endocorium equal to 0.5. Sc vein long, parallel to R + M, near to C. Cuneal fracture not fused. Stubs of membrane present, long. Tibiae with short hairs. Fore tibiae with long spines on apical half. Fossula spongiosa on anterior legs absent. Hind tibiae curved, with interior row of long hairs, 2.5 times as long as tibia wide. Metapleural scent gland sulcus slightly curved backwards and continued as thin sinuate carina directed forwards ( Fig. 2 View Figs ). Supracoxal area restricted to basal margin of metapleura. Subdorsal area wide, extending over the carina. Metasternum with apical margin rounded, only longitudinal sulcus present.
Genitalia. Pygophore ( Fig. 3 View Figs ) with irregular and short parameroid. Left paramere very long, thin and acute, widened basally.
Female. Genitalia. Omphalus ( Fig. 4 View Figs ) with extremely long spermatic tube, located near anterior margin of abdominal sternite 7; last sternite prolonged medially at its posterior margin.
Differential diagnosis. This new genus is closely related to Alofa Herring, 1976 , and Buchananiella Reuter, 1884 , by the morphology of the male genitalia, but it can be easily separated by the particular shape of paramere and omphalus ( Figs. 3-4 View Figs ).
Etymology. The generic name refers to the Thai province where the specimens were collected. The gender is masculine.
