Scolopocoris Carayon, 1972

( Figs. 9 View Figs , 28–30 View Figs )

Scolopocoris Carayon, 1972: 341 . Type species: Scoloposcelis gracilicornis Poppius, 1909 .

Diagnostic characters. Rostrum short, slightly surpassing fore coxae. All femora armed with spines on inner margin ( Fig. 28 View Figs ). Male with orifices of uradenia well separated, and with row of long setae over sternum IV among the orifices. Left paramere perpendicular to left margin of pygophore, ending as a long flagellum. Female with ovipositor well developed. Ostiolar peritreme ( Figs. 29, 30 View Figs ) wide, folded forward (as in genus Xylocoris View in CoL ), apically rounded with small excentric acute tip; median sulcus disappearing in apical quarter.

Studied material. ARGENTINA: CÓRDOBA: Calamuchita , I-1945, 1 ♀, Viana lgt. ( MACN) . BUENOS AIRES: Tigre , VII-1947, 2 ♀♀, Viana lgt. ( MACN) ; same locality, IV-1937, 1 J ( MACN) .

Remarks. This genus differs from the other Scolopina by having all femora armed with spines over the inner margin, and by ostiolar peritreme very long, folded (as in Xylocoris ). This is also the most meridional genus of the subtribe, distributed in temperate central Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay.
