(2018)retained the original generic placement of this taxon in  Prolygus( typespecies:  Lygus papuanus Poppius, 1914, Fig. 32L–O). However, the following morphological characters support its proper placement in  Paralygocoris, new genus: clavus lacking rows of lines along claval vein ( Fig. 32A, B); vesica with a single spicule that is coiled subapically and similar in basic colour pattern to  P. meridionalis(see Carvalho, 1987, p. 140, figs. 5–8); female genital chamber narrow ( Fig. 32D); and posterior wall with small interramal lobe and triangular, mesally continuous lateral lobe ( Fig. 32E, F).  Prolyguscongeners share the different character status, such as clavus at least basally with two or three rows of keeled lines parallel to claval vein ( Fig. 32L); vesica with 2–4 spicule or lobal sclerites ( Fig. 32J, M); wider genital chamber ( Fig. 32N); and posterior wall with developed, wide interramal lobe and paired lateral lobes ( Fig. 32K, O). Based on these evidences,  Prolygus alboscutellatusis herein transferred to  Paralygocoris, new genus. Both  Paralygocoris alboscutellatusand  P. meridionalisare considered Sundaland species. However, they appear to be allopatric with each other (the former in Oriental-Wallacea and the latter in continental Eurasia).
