Cylapocoris barensis Carvalho 1982: 813 , Figs. 4–7 (n. sp.); Carvalho & Froeschner 1987: 154 (list); Schuh 1995:22 (catalog); Gorczyca 2006b: 28 (catalog).

Diagnosis. According to Carvalho’s (1982) description this species can be recognized by the pale patch in the middle of the hemelytron, pale yellowish coxae, and the endosoma with large, serrate lobe.

It appears most similar to C. simplex in sharing dark castaneous or dark brown dorsum, with hemelytron with small pale patch in the middle and endosoma without sclerites. C. barensis is distinguished, however, by the larger size (4.5–4.6 mm) and the darker, fuscous antennal segment II.
