description: Artchawakomius moteus new species
(Figs. 1 C–D, 2, 3, 4, 8)
Diagnosis. Recognized by the amber-brown basic coloration, and polished pronotum and scutellum that are not pruinosed or shagreened, in addition to the characters mentioned in generic diagnosis.
Description. Male: Body generally amber-brown; dorsal surface shiny. Antenna yellowish brown, except for darkened segment IV. Pronotum and scutellum polished; anterior lobe of pronotum transversely wrinkled; apical scutellar spine dark brown; ostiolar peritreme creamy yellow. Hemelytron less shining, with three white maculae each on middle clavus, and base and subapical part of corium; corium chestnut brown posterior to apical white macula (anterior to cuneal fracture); cuneus fuscous; membrane smoky brown, except for pale, translucent apical and posterior margins. All coxae and legs pale brown. Male genital segment widely infuscate. Male genitalia (Fig. 2): Right paramere somewhat tapered toward apex; apical membranous area of endosoma not developed. Female: Unknown.
Measurements. 3: Total body length 3.0–3.1/ 3.0–3.2; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 2.22–2.35; head width across eyes 0.69–0.71; vertex width 0.25–0.27; lengths of antennal segment I–IV 0.20–0.23, 0.87–0.90, 0.55–0.57, 0.42–0.45; labial length 0.84–0.86; mesal pronotal length 0.63–0.69; basal pronotal width 0.76–0.78; width across hemelytron 0.76–0.84; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 0.97–1.02, 1.48–1.52, 0.26–0.27.
Etymology. From a Thai noun ‘Mot (= ant)’, Latinized as an adjective.
Distribution. Thailand (Nakhon Ratchasima Prov.).
Biology. A bivoltine life cycle is assumed for this new species; specimens were each collected in February and August. This species resembles certain ants that similarly have brownish or amber coloration and slender body form, such as very aggressive Oecophylla species (Formicinae). If this mirid were associated with these ants, the body form of A. moteus would allude to Batesian mimicry.

(Figs. 1 A–B, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9)
Diagnosis. Recognized by the fuscous, larger body, less shining dorsal surface, and darkened meso- and metafemora, by which this new species is readily distinguished from the other congener, A. moteus.
Description. Body generally blackish; dorsal surface less shining, somewhat pruinosed or shagreened. Antenna brown; segment I pale brown; segment II somewhat tinged with red. Labium pale brown, except for darkened segment IV. Pronotum and scutellum roughened, less shining, shallowly and transversely rugose; thoracic pleura fuscous; ventral margin of ostiolar peritreme yellowish white. Hemelytron velvety grayish black, with four white maculae each on middle and apical clavus, and anterior and posterior corium (anterior maculae and posterior maculae are each continuous and form two fascia in male as in Fig. 1 A); membrane somber grayish brown, except for pale, translucent posterior margin. All coxae and legs dark brown, except for pale brown procoxa, proleg, apical half of mesotibia, apical 1/4 of metatibia, and all tarsomeres I and II. Abdomen shiny dark brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 2): Right paramere broadened subapically; endosoma with membranous area apically. Female genitalia (Fig. 9): As mentioned in generic description.

(Fig. 12)
Auricillocoris Schuh, 1984: 76 (n. gen.), type species by original designation: A. zamboanga Schuh,1984; Schuh, 1995: 211 (cat.).
Diagnosis. See Schuh (1984). Dorsal habitus image of the holotype male of A. coonoor is available on a website: http://www.discoverlife.org.
Discussion. This type genus of the tribe Auricillocorini is presumably most closely related to Zaratus Distant, on the basis of similarity of the external appearance and male genitalia. Auricillocoris is composed of rare species, with only 15 specimens having so far been known. No information on the biology and morphology of the female genitalia is currently available.

description: Cleotomiris Schuh
(Figs. 3, 4, 5 A–C, 6, 8, 9, 12)
Cleotomiris Schuh, 1984: 81 (n. gen., invalid name as type species not designated).
Cleotomiris Schuh, in Kerzhner & Schuh, 1995: 8, type species by subsequent designation: C.schneirlai Schuh, 1984; Schuh, 1995: 211 (cat.); Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999: 277 (cat.); Yasunaga, 2001: 146 (diag.).
Diagnosis. Recognized by the antlike appearance, small to moderate size, brown to fuscous basic coloration, more or less terete antennal segments II–IV, weakly swollen, trapezoidal pronotum that is not much constricted anteriorly, earlike ostiolar peritreme, a conspicuous white fascia on the clavus just posterior to the scutellum, weakly fleshy, apically convergent parempodia, and short endosoma with an apical spine of various length and a developed secondary gonopore. Further diagnostic characters and detailed description were provided by Schuh (1984).
Discussion. Although this genus is superficially similar to Cleotomiroides Schuh, the male and female genitalic structures of these genera are significantly different each other. The general shape of the female genitalia of Cleotomiris rather resembles that of Wygomiris.
Schuh (1984) suggested the presence of two undescribed species of Cleotomiris from Peninsular Malaysia (Selangor) and N Thailand (Chiang Mai); the specimens from Thailand may correspond to a species described below (C. yamadakazi). Cleotomiris comprises six nominal species now known from the Sundaland west of the Wallacea, Indochina, SE China and Japanese Ryukyus.

description: Cleotomiroides Schuh
(Figs. 3, 4, 5 D–F, 7, 8, 9, 12)
Cleotomiroides Schuh, 1984: 91 (n. gen.), type species by original designation: C. ferrugineus Schuh, 1984; Schuh, 1995: 211 (cat.); Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999: 278 (cat.).
Diagnosis. Externally very similar to Cleotomiris Schuh, from which this genus can be distinguished by the slender and almost linear antennal segments II–IV, strongly protruding evaporative area of the ostiolar peritreme, noticeably broadened endosoma that is furnished apically with some appendages, and small but thick-rimmed sclerotized rings of the bursae. Detailed diagnosis and description were provided by Schuh (1984).
Discussion. The similarity between Cleotomiroides and Cleotomiris appears only superficial, judging from the structures of the antenna, metathoracic scent efferent system, and male and female genitalia.
Specimens representing several probably undescribed species of Cleotomiroides from China (Hubei), Java and Borneo are documented (Schuh, 1984). Therefore, the distribution of this genus ranges widely from the warm temperate zones of eastern Asia to the tropical Sundaland.

description: Wygomiris Schuh
(Figs. 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12)
Wygomiris Schuh, 1984: 96 (n. gen.), type species by original designation: W. mingorum Schuh, 1984; Schuh, 1995: 211 (cat.).
Diagnosis. Recognized by the non-antlike form (conventional mirid habitus as in Fig. 10), simply brownish to fuscous general coloration, mixed dorsal vestiture of recumbent, sericeous setae and semierect, simple setae, more or less terete antennal segments II–IV, trapezoidal pronotum with a distinct collar, exposed mesoscutum, moderately protruding evaporative area of the ostiolar peritreme, weakly fleshy, apically convergent parempodia, slender, rather elongate endosoma sometimes with a few apical spines and a small secondary gonopore (Fig. 11), and developed female bursa copuratrix with enlarged, ovoid sclerotized rings and continuous dorsal and ventral labiate plates (Fig. 9).
Discussion. Differing from other auricillocorines, members of Wygomiris have the non-antlike, or conventional mirid habitus, the distinct pronotal collar, the castaneous hemelytron without any distinct white maculae posterior to the scutellum, and the weakly fleshy, apically convergent parempodia. They are at first sight very similar to certain species of the Orthotylinae (e.g., members of Ceratocapsus group known from the New World; visit the following webpage for further information: http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/ 20q?search= Ceratocapsus).
Schuh (1984) mentioned that several undescribed species of Wygomiris occur in the Philippines and New Guinea. Therefore, the distribution of this genus now ranges from the Oriental Himalayas to the Australian Region. Four species described by Schuh (1984) were all based only on holotypes, and 13 specimens are additionally examined in this study. Because of difficulty to collect enough material, no information is currently available on the biology for Wygomiris.

Diagnosis. Recognized by the large size, long labium, roughened pronotum with a narrow collar, distinctly long, erect setae on the hemelytron, and well developed dorsal and ventral labiate plates of the bursa copulatrix; these diagnostic characters enable this new species to be distinguished from the sympatric, most closely related congener, P. indochinensis Schuh.
Description. Female: Body generally chestnut brown, elongate oval, comparatively large in size; dorsal surface weakly shining, with simple, semierect setae, long, erect setae and sericeous, reclining setae. Head tinged with yellow, weakly shining; clypeus weakly projected. Antenna yellowish brown, terete; apical 1/3 of segment II and entire III mahogany brown. Labium chestnut brown, reaching apex of metacoxa. Pronotum somewhat roughened, with uniformly distributed, simple, semierect setae; collar pruinosed, narrower than base of antennal segment II; ostiolar peritreme widely ivory white, with a median knob. Hemelytra somewhat lighter than pronotum and scutellum, with uniformly distributed, silvery, reclining setae and sparsely distributed, simple, long, erect setae; membrane smoky brown. All coxae and legs brown, partly tinged with red; meso- and metacoxae lighter. Abdomen dull chestnut brown. Female genitalia (Fig. 9): Bursa copulatrix toughened, with developed dorsal and ventral labiate plates; sclerotized ring enlarged, somewhat twisted posteriorly. Male: Unknown.
Measurements. Ƥ: Total body length 3.6; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 2.70; head width across eyes 0.71; vertex width 0.30; lengths of antennal segment IIV 0.19, 0.90, 0.57 [IV missing]; labial length 1.20; mesal pronotal length 0.63; basal pronotal width 1.08; width across hemelytron 1.39; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 1.13, 1.50, 0.30.
Etymology. Named after Nana-Siri Rungrueang, who helped our field investigations much.
Distribution. Thailand (Nakhon Nayok Prov.).

Zaratus Distant, 1909: 59 (n. gen.), type species by original designation, Z. repandus Distant, 1909; Distant, 1910: 264 (redesc.); Schuh, 1974: 315 (note); Schuh, 1995: 211 (cat.).
Diagnosis. Recognized primarily by the following characters: body more or less antlike; basic coloration yellowish or amber brown; dorsum shiny, with sparse vestiture; head short; eyes small; vertex wide, about half as wide as head including eyes, with a narrow, but continuous, basal carina; pronotum shiny, medially constricted, with a narrow collar; scutellum small; hemelytron with white maculae or bands around scutellum and on posterior corium; cuneal fracture straight, horizontal; leg relatively long; parempodia weakly fleshy, apically convergent. Male genitalia: See description for the new species below. Female genitalia: Not examined; a sole, antique specimen (holotype of Z. repandus deposited in the Natural History Museum, London) collected a century before is only present (http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20l?id=AMNH_PBI00085521).
Discussion. Schuh (1984) and Kerzhner & Josifov (1999) imply that Zaratus and Cleotomiroides may be congeneric. However, present examination of the male genitalia of the following new species reveals these are undoubtedly independent genera. Based upon sharing the simple form of the endosoma and some synapomorphies, Zaratus is considered to be sister to Auricillocoris (Fig. 12). Because a single specimen is merely available for each sex so far, no additional information is available.

Diagnosis. Recognized by the characters mentioned in generic diagnosis and form of the male genitalia, especially a row of long setae on the left side of the male genital capsule (Fig. 7). This new species can be distinguished from the other congener, Z. repandus Distant, by the amber coloration, wholly shiny pronotum, different pattern of white maculae on the corium and clavus, and weakly constricted anterior part of the hemelytron.
Description. Male: Body generally amber brown, somewhat tinged with red, elongate, rather small in size; dorsal surface polished, shining, with very short, silky, semierect setae. Head shiny, rather vertical; eye small; vertex twice as wide as an eye in dorsal view. Antennae pale brown, almost linear. Labium shiny brown, slightly exceeding apex of mesocoxa. Pronotum polished, rounded, with sparsely distributed, very short, silky setae; collar broad, about as thick as antennal segment I; mesoscutum and scutellum covered with pronotum; pleura amber brown, except for darkened median protuberance of ostiolar peritreme; evaporative area ivory white. Hemelytron weakly shining, with four variable, white maculae each on anterior and posterior parts of clavus, and anterior corner and posterior part of corium (Fig. 1 F); vestiture on hemelytron very sparse and short; cuneus chestnut brown; membrane somber pale brown. All coxae and legs amber brown, except for yellowish meso- and metacoxae. Abdomen shiny amber brown; male genital segment widely darkened. Male genitalia (Fig. 7): Left lateral side of genital segment with a row of long, noticeable setae. Phallotheca L-shaped, blunt-tipped.
