Genus Cyrtocapsus Reuter View in CoL

Cyrtocapsus Reuter, 1876: 70 View in CoL . Type species: Cyrtocapsus caligineus Stål,1859: 258 View in CoL .Monotypic. Cyrtocapsus View in CoL : Henry & Carvalho 1987: (key to species); Henry 2022 (revision of genus).

Diagnosis. Species small size (2.50–4.90 mm), oblong, pronotum punctate and pubescent, with hemelytra enlarged towards apex; eyes extending laterally beyond the anterior angles of the pronotum; Front rugose and striate; hemelytra dull and impunctate with silvery, sericeous seta; lateral margins of cuneus not reaching apex of the membrane. Male pygophore smooth, lacking projection on the left side. ( Ferreira and Henry 2011; Henry 2022).

Remarks. Henry (2022) revised the genus Cyrtocapsus with descriptions of new species, synonyms, lectotype designations, color habitus illustrations for species and male genitalia characters, and a key to identify species.

Cyrtocapsus rostratus Reuter ( Fig. 6-A View FIGURE 6 )

Cyrtocapsus rostratus Reuter 1908 a: 181 (original description; Chile); Carvalho 1954C: 13 (key), 1957: 96 (catalog); Henry & Carvalho 1987: 292 (key); Carvalho 1980B: 646 (diagnosis); Schuh 1995: 542 (catalog), 2002– 2013 (online catalog).

Cyrtocapsus femoralis View in CoL (of authors, in part): Ferreira & Rossi 1979: 133 (distribution), Ferreira & Henry 2011: 12 View Cited Treatment (distribution), Vélez et al. 2020: 4 (distribution).

Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by its dark brown dorsum, the often narrowly brownish-orange basal area of the pronotum, pale brown or brownish orange apical area of the corium and embolium, and mostly dark brown femora, with only the bases of the front and middle femora and the basal half of the hind femur pale, and the basal fourth of all tibiae dark brown. ( Henry 2022). Male genitalia as figure 11-A.

Remarks. Henry (2022) clarified confusion between C. femoralis and C. rostratus . He showed that all records of C. femoralis in Brazil (e.g., Ferreira & Rossi, 1979; Ferreira & Henry, 2011; Vélez et al. 2020) should be referred to the name C. rostratus .

Plant Associations. Convolvulaceae : Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. ( Ferreira & Rossi 1979); Fabaceae : Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.; Poaceae : Specimens collected on pastures of Brachiaria brizantha and Panicum maximum ( Vélez et al. 2020) .

Distribution. Brazil (Espírito Santo (Jerônimo Monteiro) ( Vélez et al. 2020), Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul ( Carvalho 1957; Ferreira et al. 2006; Barcellos et al. 2011; Ferreira & Henry 2011), Cuba ( Hernández & Henry 2010) , French Guiana, Mexico, Venezuela ( Schuh 2002 –2013; Henry 2022).

Espírito Santo material examined. Brazil : Espírito Santo: 5♀, 4♂, Jerônimo Monteiro, Fazenda Luzitânia, Coord. 20º 46’ 10.64” S / 41º 23’ 4.32” W, Col.: M. C. Vélez, 25/XI/2013. 2♀ R1 M1P32b; 2♀ R1 M1P32b GoogleMaps .
