Marojejycoris auranticorium , new species

Plates 2, 5, 9, 19E, 20F; map 5

DIAGNOSIS: Males are recognized among

other Marojejycoris species by the larger body

size, coloration of antenna and corium, subtrian-

gular head shape in lateral view, relatively small

ocelli, and 6-segmented antenna. This species is

similar to M. notadichroa , but differs by the uni-

form dull orange pronotum, orange corium,

slightly more shallow postclypeal depression that

extends to middle of interocular area, slightly

smaller ocelli, and eye about one-fourth of the

head length in lateral view.

DESCRIPTION: Body length: 9.10 mm (holo-

type), 8.54–9.18 mm. COLORATION: Dull

orange with thorax, coxae, trochanters, and

hemelytron basally light orange-brown. Scape,

pedicel, antennal segments III–IV and base of

V, posterior margin of pronotum, and wing

membrane dark brown. Antennal segment V

apically and VI white. VESTITURE: As in

reaching the dorsal and ventral head margins, and the pronotal transverse furrow not continuous. This species is similar to T. harinhali , from which it differs by the larger body size; dark brown to blackish head, pronotum, and scutellum; the width of the synthlipsis about the width of an eye; and intersegmental sutures carinulate between sternites II–V.

DESCRIPTION: Medium body size (length: 16.05 mm, holotype; 14.30–16.05 mm). COLOR-

ATION: Dark brown with labrum, basal half of scapus, costal margin, and tarsi light brown. Antennifers apically, basal part of hemelytra, trochanters, basal half of femora, and tibiae medially yellowish. Tarsomere III on forelegs with dark brown band in apical part. VESTITURE: As in generic description. STRUCTURE: HEAD: Ventrally with shallow anteromedial depression; clypeal apex dorsally elevated relative to labrum (pl. 13G, H); postclypeus with relatively deep, broad medial longitudinal depression to middle of interocular area; postocular narrow in dorsal view (pl. 13A); synthlipsis about width of eye; interocular sulcus near hind margin of eye (pl. 13B); eyes about one-third of head length, reaching dorsal and ventral head surfaces; ocelli large, separated by less than half of diameter of ocellus, MAP 7.
