reaching posterior margin of eye, nearly straight, apically bulbous ( Fig. 58 ); pronotum as broad as its length, anterior lobe strongly swollen, posterior lobe as broad as width of anterior lobe; prosternum reaching middle of mid coxae; scutellum ( Fig. 57 ) suberect; fore wing ( Fig. 57 ) reaching apical ⅔ of scutellum.

Material examined

Holotype

INDONESIA • ♀; West Sumatra, Batang-Palupuh ; 0.24602° S, 100.34805° E; 1400–1500 m a.s.l.; 19 Oct. 1991; A. Riedel leg.; ZSM.

Remarks

Putshkov & Bérenger (1999) described X. schoenitzeri based on a single female specimen from western Sumatra. This specimen is now deposited in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München, Munich, Germany (ZSM). Xenorhyncocoris schoenitzeri is highly recognizable due to its straight and apically bulbous labial segment II, and also by the combination of other characters mentioned in the diagnosis. This species was relatively well documented in its original description and illustrations. Photographs of habitus of the holotype ( Figs 57–59 ) are provided herein to facilitate the recognization of this species. Some diagnostic characters mentioned by Putshkov & Bérenger (1999) are discussed below.

Distribution

Indonesia (West Sumatra: Batang-Palupuh).
