scientific name

Orius Wolff, 1811
status

 

Subgenus Orius Wolff, 1811 View in CoL View at ENA

Diagnosis

Recognised by a combination of the following characters: pronotum highly polished, impunctate, sparsely covered with setae, with long, stout setae near anterolateral and posterolateral corners and a pair of similar setae behind ocelli, with distinct collar and

convex callus; ostiolar peritreme usually with wide and smooth area anterior to median furrow. Detailed diagnostic characters were provided by Péricart (1967, 1972).

Remarks

Twenty-five species have hitherto been assigned to this subgenus, occurring in eastern Ethiopian and western and middle Palearctic Regions (cf. Péricart 1996; Hernández and Stonedahl 1999). Four species occur in India and one species occurs in Japan ( Muraleedharan 1977; Yasunaga 2001). This subgenus is recorded from Thailand for the first time.
