Sejanus crassicornis (Poppius) View in CoL

Eosthenarus crassicornis Poppius, 1915: 73 View in CoL (n. sp). Chlamydatus crassicornis: Carvalho, 1958: 32

(cat.); Carvalho, 1980: 650 (diag., type specimen). Sejanus crassicornis: Kerzhner and Schuh, 1995: 5 View in CoL

(n. comb.); Schuh, 1995: 245 (cat.).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the dark castaneous coloration of the hemelytron without possessing a transverse fascia, two white spots on the anterior margin of the cuneus, the completely white third and fourth antennal segments, and weakly rugulose pronotum.

DESCRIPTION: See Poppius (1915).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Taiwan.

DISCUSSION: We were able to examine an image of the holotype. Based on that examination and a brief description of the type by Carvalho (1980) it appears to share most of the typical external color and morphological characters of species in this genus. Further investigation into the characters of the male genitalia will likely reveal additional unique characters that more clearly separate it from other Sejanus species.
