038687BFE263FF81FD97FE54FE262BA7.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS Ch. pallidus n. sp. belongs to the species-group of the subgenus Statanus DIST., characterised by clearly bicolorous dorsal body surface (head, pronotum and scutellum distinctly darker than corium, the latter translucent or yellowish white). In general habitus the new species resembles Ch. campbelli J. A. LIS from India. Nevertheless, the former is smaller (body length 2.83 mm and 3.54 mm, respectively), and its dorsal surface is clearly paler than in Ch. campbelli (Ch. pallidus - head, pronotum and scutellum pale brown, corium colourless and translucent, only basally somewhat milky white, almost all punctures colourless except for darker short row of punctures on clavus and one row of darker punctures on mesocorium; Ch. campbelli - head, pronotum and scutellum castaneous, corium yellowish white, all punctures brown, clavus and mesocorium both with two rows of dark punctures). However, since only single males of both species are known to date, the shape of paramere seems at present to be the best character for distinguishing the new species from all other within this group of species.	en	Lis, J.

038687BFE263FF81FD97FE54FE262BA7.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Among the species of the subgenus known from Sulawesi so far, Ch. pallidus n. sp. is similar only to Ch. bosmansi J. A. LIS (both species have sharply bicolorous dorsal body surface, with entirely translucent or milky white corium); fortunately, they can easily be separated on the basis of puncturation of dorsal body surface (it is almost impunctate in Ch. pallidus n. sp., whereas it is clearly punctate in Ch. bosmansi J. A. LIS).	en	Lis, J. A. (2001): Two new Oriental species of the burrower bug genus Chilocoris Mayr (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Cydnidae). Genus 12 (3), No. 3: 269-274

038687BFE261FF87FD88FBF9FBF92939.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS Ch. malickyi n. sp. has an isolated position within the subgenus Statanus DIST., because of its bicolorous corium (basally yellowish brown, remaining surface castaneous). In general habitus and body vestiture the new species is at first sight similar to Ch. vanstallei J. A. LIS (Sulawesi), but can easily be separated from the latter by its larger body (Ch. malickyi – 5.20 mm in length; Ch. vanstallei – 3.05 - 3.95 mm in length), and bicolorous corium (corium, as well as entire dorsal body surface is uniformly castaneous or dark castaneous in Ch. vanstallei).	en	Lis, J.
