Notes. Fieber’s type on Ophthalmicus ochropterus seems to be lost according to the author’s recent knowledge. However, types of two synonymous species ( Ophthalmicus cinarescens Walker, 1872 ; Geocoris rufipennis Distant, 1918 ) are deposited in the collection of BMNH and they were studied during the author’s visit in 2016. All three specimens are clearly identifiable as syntypes, description and collecting data concurrent with the original descriptions. A syntype of Ophthalmicus cinerascens was improperly provided with a holotype label. During the study it was concluded that the Notes. According to the distribution data of Lygaeoidea Species File ( Dellapé & Henry, 2018) this species occurs in China, Formosa, and Japan. Josifov & Kerzhner (1978) recorded its presence from the Korean Peninsula.
