Fulvidius lineolatus (Chérot & Gorczyca) comb. nov.

( Figures 1, 7 , 9–11 )

Cylapofulvidius lineolatus Chérot & Gorczyca 2000: 223 , 224, 227, Figs. 4, 6, 7–9 , 21, 22 , 25 (n. sp.); Gorczyca 2006: 29 (catalog).

Diagnosis. Fulvidius lineolatus is recognized by the following set of features: relatively small (3.80–3.90); proepimeron with yellowish line along entire length ( Fig. 7 ); posterior lobe of pronotum with three longitudinal, yellow swellings ( Fig. 1 ); scutellum entirely black ( Fig. 7 ); corium with longitudinal, yellow swellings ( Fig. 7 ); male genitalic structures as presented below ( Figs. 9–11 ).

Most similar to F. punctatus in sharing yellow stripes on proepimeron and similar coloration of the pronotum, scutellum, and hemelytron. This species can, however, be distinguished by the smaller body.

Male genitalia ( Figs. 9–11 ). Left paramere ( Figs. 9–10 ). Apical process relatively long, ovoid, extreme apex of apical process relatively short and thick in dorsal view; paramere body with bundle of few long, protruding, thick setae. Endosoma ( Fig. 11 ). Sclerotized portion of ductus seminis and secondary gonopore ovoid.
