The Oriental flat bug genus Libiocoris Kormilev, 1957 revisited: re-examination, synonymy, and description of a new genus (Heteroptera, Aradidae) https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/26165/ ZooKeys 789: 115-137

DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.789.26165

Authors: Xiaoshuan Bai, Ernst Heiss, Wanzhi Cai

Abstract: Re-examination of type specimens of Libiocoris Kormilev 1957, L. poecilus from New Guinea and other taxa assigned to this genus, the Chinese Libiocoris heissi Bai, Yang & Cai, 2006 and Libiocoris sinensis Bai, Yang & Cai, 2006 proved to be synonyms, thus L. heissi = L. sinensis syn. n. They are, however, different from Libiocoris Kormilev, 1957 to which they were originally assigned and a new genus Paralibiocoris gen. n. is proposed for them. Therefore Paralibiocoris heissi comb. n. = Libiocoris heissi Bai et al., 2006 = Libiocoris sinensis Bai et al., 2006, syn. n. From Hainan Island, China, the following new species, P. roundangulus sp. n., P. hainanensis sp. n., and P. limuensis sp. n., are described and figured and a key to species is provided.
