Distribution

This subspecies is endemic to Mindoro ( Zettel et al. 1999). See Fig. 5 for new records.

Taxon discussion

For identification, refer to the key by Zettel et al. (1999), a habitus illustration is provided in Fig. 4 C. The genus Asthenocoris is endemic to the Philippines ( Zettel et al. 1999). All material treated in here is brachypterous.

Habitat

Asthenocoris luzonensis paradisianus Zetttel & Nieser, 2009 Fig. 4 C is found in middle-sized streams running through secondary rainforest (Fig. 2 B), as well as large, fast flowing streams, partly in secondary vegetation (Fig. 1 C), but then only downstream of forested areas ( Zettel et al. 1999). The specimens were retrieved in more or less fast flowing water from several substrates, foremost gravel, but also wood, leaf litter and root packs (Fig. 3 G).
