Microcaenocoris nanus Breddin, 1900: 171 View in CoL . Lectotype ( Gaedike 1971: 118): ♂, [ Indonesia:] Sumbawa ; SDEI. Arocatus aurantium Zou & Zheng in Zheng & Zou (1981: 17) View in CoL . Holotype: ♀, China: Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Ganlanba; IZAS (examined). Synonymized by Gao et al. (2013: 693).

A bibliography was provided by Gao et al. (2013: 693).

Material examined. TAIWAN. Hsinchu Co.: Maopu , 1.x.1981, leg. T.C. Hsu (1 ♂ NTU) ; Miaoli Co.: Taian , 16.vii.1980, leg. Y.I. Chu (1 ♂ NTU) ; Nantou Co.: Sungkang , 2100 m, x.1985, Malaise trap, leg. K.S. Lin (1 ♂ TARI) ; Pingtung Co.: Koshun [= Hengchun ], 19.xi.1932, leg. R. Takahashi (1 ♀ NTU).

Diagnosis. This species is readily recognized within the genus Arocatus by its almost uniformly red dorsum lacking contrasting dark markings ( Figs. 26–27 View FIGURES 26 – 31 ). It was thoroughly redescribed and illustrated by Deckert (1991) and Gao et al. (2013).

External male genitalia. Genital capsule ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 32 – 40 ) with dense, short, semierect and adpressed hairs all over its surface and scattered, long, erect hairs ventrally; lateral extension of ventral rim provided with a pair of hook-like lateral protrusions surrounding paramere sockets dorsally; cuplike sclerite ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 32 – 40 : cs) with a distinct longitudinal ridge fused with ventral rim. Paramere as in Figs. 33–36 View FIGURES 32 – 40 . Phallus ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 15 – 19 ) with a losely wrinkled helicoid complex, two coils of penisfilum continued in a long, transparent filament distally which is somewhat longer than half of penisfilum.

Distribution. India (Tamil Nadu); Cambodia; Thailand; Laos; China (Yunnan, Hainan); Indonesia (Sumbawa) ( Gao et al. 2013); Taiwan (new record).
