(Figs. 2 F, 5D̄E, 11)
Hallodapus linnavuorii Miyamoto, 1966: 433 (n. sp.); Schuh, 1995: 225 (cat.); Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999: 292 (cat.); Yasunaga, 2001: 153 (diag.); Vinokurov et al., 2010: 126 (cat.); Duwal et al., 2016: 105 (cat.); Yasunaga et al., 2016: 385 (cat.).
Diagnosis. Recognized by its orange-brown or brown body, with shining head and pronotum; brown hemelytron with two white transverse maculae: anterior wide transverse macula obscure on claval commissure and posterior quadrate macula adjacent to the cuneal fracture; pale antennae and tibiae, reddish antennal segment I provided with a white longitudinal stripe ventrally; and form of male genital structures (Figs. 5 D̄E, 11). For detailed description see Miyamoto (1966: 433̄436; figs. 14̄16).
Two teneral specimens were suspected to be a new species because they were relatively smaller than the usual size of H. linnavuorii, and bear pale appendages with red stripes on antennal segment I and the femora. But on further observation of the male genital structures, they were found to be H. linnavuorii. The female specimens are mostly brachypterous and thus the length apex cuneal fracture was measured between apices of clypeus to corium.
