Remarks
We initially thought that there was a possibly new species of Chimsunchartella from Witchelina. We have now examined many specimens from all over Australia. Specimens from Witchelina Nature Reserve and other parts of Australia fit the original description (Chérot and Pauwels 2000). However, the male genitalia differ slightly from those illustrated for the holotype. We conclude that there is insufficient information to separate additional species and that the polymorphic coloration observed in C. schwartzi is typical for a widely distributed mirine plant bug.
Discussion
This species is presently known from Western Australia, the Northern Territory, New South Wales and South Australia (Chérot and Pauwels 2000; Chérot et al. 2003). This is the first record of this species from Witchelina Nature Reserve.

Distribution. India: Jharkhand (Ranchi); Uttarakhand (Dehradun); Deccan Peninsula: Chhota Nagpur, Upper Gangetic Plains (Sharma 1991; Singh et al. 2021).
Comments. The nomenclatural correction to the species epithet is made as it should follow the gender of the generic name. The interpretation of this species is problematical because of lack of illustrations and the far too short description. However, the few figures of Eurymeros gibbosa clearly show that this species is not belonging to the genus Eurymeros; both wing venation and shape of hind femur and mandible indicate that it also belongs to genus Euscelinus Westwood 1882 (subfamily Doryctinae). It is synonymized with its rather variable type species, E. sarawacus Westwood 1882 (Fig. 4), since no obvious differences are found (syn. nov.).

Discussion
This species is cosmopolitan in distribution. In Australia it is known from Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia (Cassis and Gross 1995). Eyles (1999b) also reported it from Norfolk Island. This is the first record of this species from the Witchelina Nature Reserve.

Comments. Euscelinus mangiferae comb. nov. (reared from Mangifera indica L. as per original publication) differs from the type species by having two mandibular teeth, head more or less circular, pterostigma differentiated from 1-R1 and metapleuron rugose-reticulate. These characters suggest its correct placement in the doryctine genus Euscelinus Westwood 1882 with correction to the species epithet as it is derived from the host genus. It is synonymized with E. sarawacus Westwood, 1882, since no obvious differences are found (syn. nov.).

Type locality. India: Jharkhand: Ranchi: Namkum.

Distribution. India: Jharkhand.
Comments. Euscelinus namkumensis comb. nov. has the malar space equal to basal width of mandible, and also varies in wing venation. Based on the original publication the species is reared from “Lac Stick, parasitic on Eublemma amabilis ” however this host information is probably wrong. The host should be a coleopterous larva associated with the host plant of the lac insect. The correction to the species epithet is made as it follows the gender of the generic name. It is synonymized with E. sarawacus Westwood 1882 (Fig. 4), since no obvious differences are found (syn. nov.).

description: Genus Lasiopsychops gen. nov.
(Figs. 1,2)
Type and only species. Lasiopsychops impunctatus sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Forewing easily separated from those of other species of Psychopsidae by a combination of the following character states: (1) costal space broad throughout (vs. narrowed distad in some Mesozoic genera); (2) most costal cross-veins deeply branched (vs. distally branched or unforked in the other genera); (3) absence of the interlinked veinlets between costal cross-veins (vs. general presence of the veinlets in other psychopsid genera); (4) three sc-ra cross-veins sparsely present (vs. often many sc-ra cross-veins present in other psychopsid genera); (5) most RP branches dichotomously branched (vs. RP branches often simply branched in distal in extant and Cenozoic genera); (6) forewing cross-veins in radial space irregularly arranged, not forming long gradate series of cross-veins (vs. gradate cross-veins series present in most psychopsid genera); (7) forewing CuA and CuP forming multiple dichotomous branches distally (vs. pectinate with numerous branches in most psychopsid genera).
Etymology. The generic name is derived from the combination of the Greek prefix “ lasio- ” (meaning hairy), referring to the densely hairy wing and body and the common suffix “ psychops ” of the Psychopsidae. Gender is feminine.
Remarks. The new genus belongs to the Psychopidae based on the following apomorphic characters: forewing broadly triangular, costal space broad throughout and presence of the basal nygma and vena triplica. The new genus is easily distinguished from Electropsychops based on the shape of forewing, broad costal space and costal gradate series absent. Although the other Burmese amber genus Litopsychopsis only has fragmentary wings preserved, the well-defined gradate series in Litopsychopsis is conspicuously different from that of the new genus (Engel & Grimaldi 2008). Lasiopsychops gen. nov. is distinguished by the deeply forked RP branches that rarely occur in extant and Eocene species of Psychopsidae, but often occur in the Mesozoic psychopsids (Makarkin 2018). This feature was also widely recorded in the related family Osmylopsychopsidae, indicating that the complicated branches of RP should be the primitive character among psychopsid-like insects.

Männchen: Mittelschienen mit deutlichem Apikaldorn, Hinterschienen mit deutlichem Präapikaldorn. Metasternum flach eingedrückt, grob und mässig dicht auf flach genetztem Grund punktiert und beborstet (Abb. 70). Vordersternite einfach, 7. Sternit mit breitem Eindruck in der hinteren Mitte, darin fein und dicht punktiert und beborstet, Hinterrand breit ausgerandet. 9. Sternit apikolateral spitz (Abb. 114). 10. Tergit am Hinterrand abgerundet. Aedoeagus (Abb. 133), Apikalpartie des Medianlobus spitzwinklig in eine leicht abgesetzte, häutige Spitze verengt, ventral mit einigen kurzen Sinnesborsten; im Innern werden eine dünne, schwach sklerotisierte Ausstülpspange sowie ein kurzer, sackförmiger Innensack deutlich; Parameren viel länger als der Medianlobus, apikal stark löffelförmig erweitert, mit etwa 38 Borsten.
Weibchen: Unbekannt.
Prinzipiell wie S. brevidens nov.sp., aber grösser, die Eindrücke am Pronotum tiefer, die grobe Punktierung hier manchmal kurz zusammenfliessend (Abb. 37), Elytren noch gröber punktiert, die Punkte manchmal schräg/kurz zusammenfliessend (Abb. 53), am Abdomen die Paratergite in der Sagittalen liegend, diejenigen des 4. Tergits so breit wie die Hinterschienen an ihrer Basis, grob und dicht, einreihig punktiert, die Punktierung der Tergite vorn grob, weniger dicht als bei S. brevidens (Abb. 98, vgl. Abb. 96), am 7. Tergit ebenfalls gut so grob wie der basale Querschnitt des 3. Fühlerliedes, die Punktzwischenräume grösser als bei S. brevidens, aber nicht grösser als die Punkte (Abb. 87). Das Abdomen ist sehr flach genetzt, der Vorderkörper netzungsfrei.
Differenzialdiagnose: Stenus brevidens nov.sp. unterscheidet sich von den übrigen Arten seiner Gruppe wie in der Bestimmungstabelle angegeben.
E t y m o l o g i e: Der Name dieser neuen Art bezieht sich auf ihren Fundort.
