Miscellanea Miridologica V. Taxonomy and chorology of new or little known taxa of Continental New Guinea and neighboring islands (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae)

Abstract Gressitocorishenryi (Deraeocorinae, Deraeocorini) is described as a new species on the basis of the female holotype from Syoubri vill(age), Arfak Mounts, Doberai Peninsula, Papua Barat, Indonesia. Additional data on distribution are provided for 17 species of Cylapinae, Deraeocorinae, Mirinae, Orthotylinae and Phylinae. Trigonotylustenuis is cited for the first time from Papua New Guinea.


Introduction
The recent study of several public and private collections of Miridae (Insecta, Heteroptera) from Iran Jaya or Papua Barat, Papua New Guinea and the Moluccas islands provided several interesting taxonomic and chorological (distributional) data on new or poorly known taxa. When available, data on habitat or assumed host-plants are also given. areas near inner margins of eyes, prolonged on frons. Eyes reddish with several black patches medially (Figure 2), occupying head height in lateral view ( Figure 3). First antennal segment thickened sub-basally, after small concavity, slightly longer than vertex width, yellowish brown, with apical black ring (Figure 9), apparently devoid of erect setae. Second segment narrower, significantly longer, yellowish brown, darker apically, with several erect setae obviously longer than width of segment. Third and fourth segments dark brown to black, with same erect pilosity. Labium reaching metacoxae, yellowish brown. Pronotum (Figs 1,(4)(5): Pronotal collar ( Figure 4) very short, brown, almost smooth, with very narrow and shallow punctation. Pronotal callosities (Figure 4) rounded, medially separated and separated from pronotal lateral margins, shining black, smooth. Pronotal lateral margins slightly concave to sigmoid medially, carinate, carina yellowish, easily visible in lateral view. Pronotal posterior margin (Figure 1) convex but medially almost straight and laterally, near humeral angles, slightly concave. Humeral angles rounded. Pronotal disk widely and deeply punctate ( Figure  5), punctation dense, black, surface of disk dark brown. Mesoscutum covered ( Figure  6). Scutellum ( Figure 6) slightly swollen, reddish brown to dark brown, more narrowly punctate. Clavus and corium (Figure 7), including embolium, widely and deeply punctate, punctation black, surface of hemelytra evenly dark brown. Cuneus ( Figure  8) dark brown bearing inner reddish sub-basal spot with wide whitish inner margin. Membrane ( Figure 8) slightly declivous, greyish, veins thick, blackish to greenish, larger cell curved inward submedially. Coxae yellow. Pro-and mesofemora yellowish, darker apically. Metafemora dark brown to black. Metatibiae yellowish brown, as tarsi. Claws reddish. Pilosity of legs elongate, stiff, about as long as tibial spine. Propleura almost black, narrowly and shallowly punctate. Meso-and metapleura dull, blackish with yellowish areas. Abdomen dark brown, with elongate white setae.
Genital structures. Not dissected to preserve the holotype. Male unknown. Etymology. I am pleased to dedicate this new species to Dr T. J. Henry (United States National Museum of Natural History, Washington D.C, United States of America) in recognition of his major contributions to Heteroptera taxonomy, particularly to the classification and phylogeny of Berytidae and Lygaeoidea, but also to the study of several difficult plant bug genera such Ceratocapsus Reuter, 1876, Hyalochloria Reuter, 1907, Neurocolpus Reuter, 1876and Ranzovius Distant, 1893 Discussion. Through the courtesy of Dr T. J. Henry, I was able to compare the new species to the dorsal and lateral views of a paratype of G. sedlaceki Carvalho, 1985, the type species of Gressitocoris and, until now the only species of the genus. The female holotype of the new species concords with Carvalho's (1985) original description of Gressitocoris in a majority of character states. The antennal segments are covered by dense pilosity with some sparse, erect setae longer than width of the segment, the second antennal segment is slightly thickened apically, the posterior margin of pronotal disk is rounded but slightly concave laterally near humeral angles, the lateral margins are carinate, the pronotal disk and hemelytra (including wide embolium) are widely and deeply punctate, the scutellum is more narrowly punctate, the vein of larger areolar cell of the membrane is thick, expanded posteriorly, curved inward submedially and a reddish sub-basal spot with wide whitish inner margin is present on inner part of cuneus.
A very narrow and shallow punctation is apparently present on the pronotal collar of both species (contra Carvalho 1985).
Gressitocoris henryi sp. n. differs from G. sedlaceki Carvalho, 1985 by the length of the third antennal segment shorter than the length of the second antennal segment (versus slightly longer in G. sedlaceki), the eyes less wide, the covered mesoscutum and the darker dorsal coloration, particularly the medial black stripe of clypeus, the medial black patch of frons and vertex (both absent in G. sedlaceki), the almost even dark brown to black pronotum (yellowish brown lateral areas and posterior margin absent), the reddish brown scutellum (yellowish lateral stripes absent), the almost even dark brown hemelytra, and absence of an elongate yellowish stripe lining the clavo-corial suture.
As pointed out by T. Yasunaga (in litt. 2017-08-22), the validity of the genus Gressitocoris Carvalho, 1985 should be analyzed and compared with the large genus Deraeocoris Kirschbaum, 1856, whose monophyly remains to be established. However, Gressitocoris henryi sp. n. differs in habitus from all Papuan species of Deraeocoris described or redescribed by Carvalho (1985).
Distribution. According to Chérot et al. (2017), this species was described from a small series of males from Ighibirei, Central Province, Papua New Guinea and is known from continental Papua Barat, Indonesia, and from Papua New Guinea. This is apparently the first citation from the North Moluccas. Distribution. Endemic to New Guinea (Schuh 2002.  (Schuh 2002.
Remark. The genus Irianocoris was transferred from Orthotylini to Austromirini by Cassis, Cheng and Tatarnic (2012). Distribution. Described by Carvalho (1983) from Papua New Guinea and Iran Jaya. Additional species of the genus Linacoris Carvalho, 1983 remain to be described in Southeast Asia .

Phylinae Douglas & Scott
Remark. The genus Linacoris was recently transferred from Orthotylinae, Orthotylini to Phylinae, Hallodapini by Schuh and Menard (2013) on the basis of phylogenetic analyses by Menard et al. (2013).
