Genus Orthotylus Fieber, 1858

Orthotylus taksini Yasunaga & Yamada, 2009 ( Fig. 1E, F ) — Thailand (Chaiyaphum *, Nakhon Nayok *, Nakhon Ratchasima). Note: This is a typical member of Orthotylus , most closely related to eastern Palearctic O. fuscipennis Yasunaga or O. kurilensis Kerzhner , judging from the small size, and similar shape of the male and female genitalia; O. taksini is presumed to have been isolated in Indochina from a Palearctic lineage after the Pleistocene, as supposed for Psallus buddha Yasunaga, 2010 (Phylinae) , a single tropical Oriental species within the large Palearctic genus Psallus Fieber, 1858 ( Yasunaga, 2010) .
