Cryphocricos granulosus De Carlo View in CoL

( Figs 11–12 View FIGURES 9–12 )

Cryphocricos granulosus De Carlo 1967 View in CoL : Amazoniana 1:190–191.

Type repository: Zoologische Staatssammlung München (Munich, Germany) .

Type locality: Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul .

Discussion: The holotype is a brachypterous male ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 9–12 ) and the allotype a brachypterous female with heavy glue residue ventrally on the right side of the pterothorax ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 9–12 ), evidently to hold the specimen to the pin. Eighteen additional paratypes are at ZSM. Ectosymbiotic flatworms, Temnocephala minutocirrus Amato, Seixas & Amato, 2007 , were found on 33% of C. granulosus specimens collected from Arroio Forqueta in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil ( Amato et al. 2007). Previously, the only report of Temnocephala on saucer bugs was on several species of Limnocoris , also in Brazil ( Vianna & de Melo 2002).

Diagnosis: De Carlo (1967) reported this species to be very characteristic mainly due to the numerous granules (=tubercles) on the dorsal part of the body, which are not observed in C. vianai De Carlo, 1951 , which has the same color, but the anterior femora are slightly less wide and the female subgenital plate at the distal end is recessed on the sides, with a slight protruding curve in the middle; it differs from C. rufus by color and because granules (=tubercles) are more dispersed in it.
