Olympiocapsus coelestialium Kirkaldy, 1902 (n. sp.).
Eurystylus coelestialium Poppius, 1911: 2 (n. comb., key); Miyamoto & Yasunaga, 1989: 160 (list); Yasunaga et al., 1993: 59 (diag.); Schuh, 1995: 767 (cat.); Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999: 99 (cat.); Yasunaga, 2001: 233 (diag.); Zheng et al., 2004: 273 (diag.); Schuh (2002–2014) online catalog.
Eurystylus sauteri: Zheng & Lin, 2003: 328 (diag.) (not Kirkaldy, 1902).
Diagnosis. Recognized by its generally dark brown, less mottled dorsum; a pair of clear, ocellate spots on pronotum; dark scutellum with whitish lateral corners (except for darkened posterior tip); each femur creamy white (pale brown in dried specimens) with apical 1/3–1/4 darkened (Fig. 2 A); and male endosoma with PL smooth, lacking spinules or teeth and TL sharply hooked (Fig. 5 I–J). Total length 5.1–7.8 (♂)/ 6.3–8.1 (♀); maximum width 2.4–3.0 (♂)/ 2.9–3.3 (♀). Most similar to E. burmanicus; distinguished by generally darker basic coloration, somewhat thicker antennal segment II, and scutellum lacking a yellow, mesal stripe (cf. Fig. 2 A, E). Final-instar nymph (Fig. 2 B) recognized by its uniformly pale whitish green body; clearly darkened apical parts of antennal segments II–IV; laterally darkened pronotum with a pair of ocellate spots; and 4 or 5 pairs of ocellate spots on abdominal sterna.
Biology. This common univoltine mirid is associated with various inflorescences (Table 1) and most probably hibernates in the egg stage. In the western part of Japan mainislands and Taiwan, it frequently co-occurs with E. sauteri. The population in warm temperate and subtropical zones may have two or more generations per year, based on collection data.
