Cylapus cf. amazonicus ( Carvalho, 1989 )

Chérot, Frédéric, Wolski, Andrzej & Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2023, The Cylapinae of French Guiana: an illustrated catalogue with the description of a new species (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae), Zootaxa 5230 (3), pp. 351-366 : 353

5) Cylapus cf. amazonicus ( Carvalho, 1989)

Examined specimens: 2♁♁: French Guiana, KOurOu, SOumOurOu track, 17–17.ii-iii.2002, Favre D. leg. (FC n°s 5952B–5953B) ( AMPF).

Both specimens we have examined are close to this species originally described from Brazil based on a female specimen, presently also known from Bolivia and Ecuador ( Wolski 2017). However, the patches of clavus and humeral angles of French Guiana specimens are particularly reduced and the endosomal sclerites are not totally identical to Wolski’s corresponding figs (op. cit., p. 428, Fig. 66).
