description: Cylapocoris marmoreus Wolski sp. nov.
(Figures 8, 19, 56–61, Table 1)
Diagnosis. Recognized by the small body length (3.7 mm), the dorsum with relatively large, yellowish patches (Fig. 8), the antennal segment II with relatively broad, apical, yellowish annulation (Fig. 19), the endosoma with the DSS strongly reduced, as long as its width (Fig. 56), the other endosomal sclerites absent (Fig. 56), and the ML strongly developed, occupying most of endosoma (Fig. 56).
C. marmoreus is most similar to C. barensis, C. fulvus, C. simplex, and C. sulinus in sharing the pale patch on apex of the corium (Figs. 4, 10–11) and an endosoma with the distinctly developed ML and distinctly reduced DSS (Figs. 45, 80, 85; Carvalho 1982: Fig. 5). The present new species can, however, be distinguished by the pale patches on the dorsum (Fig. 10) and the shape of the endosoma (Fig. 56).
Description. Male. COLORATION (Figs. 8, 19). Dark castaneous with relatively large, dirty yellowish patches. Head. Mostly dark brown; vertex with two distinct, yellowish patches laterally, each contiguous inner margin of eye and two pale patches on pronotal collar; frons with indistinct, dirty yellowish tinges; antennal segment I dark brownish with yellowish brown one fourth and annulation at extreme apex; segment II dark brown except for contrastingly pale, dirty yellow annulation at apical one third; segment III and IV blackish; labial segment I dark reddish with dark brown basal portion; remainder of labium fuscous. Thorax. Pronotum. Dark castaneous with large, brownish and dirty yellowish areas; pronotal collar with two very broad, dirty yellowish patches medially; anterior lobe with single yellowish brown patch between pronotal calli, contiguous with pronotal collar; remainder of pronotum with large, dirty yellowish and brownish patches occupying most of posterior lobe, posterior margin, and humeral angle. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Mesoscutum blackish with two yellowish, relatively large patches laterally; scutellum dark castaneus, with yellowish patch basally. Thoracic pleura. Blackish; scent gland efferent system fuscous with dark red peritreme. Hemelytron. Mostly dark castaneous with numerous dirty yellowish patches on clavus, corium, and extreme apex of cuneus; membrane blackish, with outer portion of major cell vein yellowish. Legs. Blackish dark brown with dirty yellowish areas; procoxa blackish; meso- and metacoxa blackish basally, dirty yellowish apically; trochanters dirty yellowish, tinged with red; femora dark brownish with yellow patches; tibiae dark brownish, with three, indistinct, dirty yellowish annulations: one situated near base, second situated medially, and third situated apically; tarsus dirty yellowish brown. Abdomen. Blackish. STRUCTURE, TEXTURE, AND VESTITURE (Figs. 8, 19). Head. Slightly rugose, covered with moderately dense, irregularly distributed setae; antennal segment I somewhat narrowed basally, remainder of segment I almost cylindrical; segment II relatively stout, thickened toward apex; labium thin, long, with apex reaching pygophore. Thorax. Pronotum. Pronotum with shallow punctation. Mesoscutum and scutellum. Scutellum convex.
Male genitalia. Aedeagus (Fig. 56). Endosoma strongly membranous; DSS with very small length and width; other sclerites absent; ML nearly ellipsoidal, strongly developed, occupying most of endosoma. Right paramere (Figs. 57–58). Paramere body: inner margin slightly sinuate; apical process: lateral view: moderately curved, rounded apically; dorsal view: left lateral margin distinctly sinuate, apex rounded, medial process distinctly developed, rounded. Left paramere (Figs. 59–60). Apical process: lateral view: straight; dorsal view: relatively narrow, with subapical incision rather shallow, apex rounded.
Measurements. Holotype ♂: Body. Length 3.7, width 1.6. Head. Length 0.35, width 0.83, interocular distance 0.5. Antenna. Length of segment I 0.45, II 1.0, III 0.44, IV 0.68. Labium. Length of segment I 0.68, II–IV 1.63. Pronotum. Length 0.75, width of anterior margin 0.7, length of lateral margin 0.63, width of posterior margin 1.38.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “marmor” meaning marbled, and is used to denote the mottled coloration of the hemelytra.
Biology. Unknown
Distribution. Costa Rica (Cartago: Turrialba) (Fig. 61).
Type material. Holotype ♂: COSTA RICA, Cart. Turrialba, CATIE, 26–29 Jun 1986, W. Hanson, G. Bohart (AMNH) (Figs. 8, 19).
