Brontostoma cicheroi Carpintero 1980
No full text<i>Brontostoma cicheroi</i> Carpintero, 1980 <p> <i>Brontostoma cicheroi</i> Carpintero (1980: 12, 32, fig. 16) (description; dorsal view of the head, schematic drawing), Maldonado (1990: 29) (catalog), Dougherty (1995: 203) (citation, geographical distribution), Bachmann (1999: 212) (catalog of types deposited in MACN), Gil-Santana <i>et al.</i> (2004: 127) (citation), Gil-Santana <i>et al.</i> (2005b: 78) (citation).</p> <p> <i>Brontostoma cicheroi</i> was described based on a single female from Paraguay, with almost 25 mm of length. It was considered close to <i>Brontostoma discus</i> from which it differed not only for its larger size and distinct coloration, but also by the presence of subbasal processes on femora, protuberances on gula, shape of scutellum and biometry (Carpintero 1980). Taking into account the presence of processes near the base of the femora, it is possible that <i>B. cicheroi</i> might be a junior synonym of <i>B. discus</i> too. Additional specimens fitting the color pattern described by Carpintero (1980) might help to elucidate the genitalic structure, and thus, the placement of this species.Unfortunately, the female holotype of <i>B. cicheroi</i> was not available to be examined in MACN, where it was deposited, when the first author (HRG-S) visited this institution in 2018. Therefore, its taxonomic status is still uncertain.</p>Published as part of <i>Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., Oliveira, Jader & Bérenger, Jean-Michel, 2021, A revalidation and new synonymies among some species of Brontostoma Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae), pp. 388-405 in Zootaxa 4958 (1)</i> on pages 401-402, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4958.1.25, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4692120">http://zenodo.org/record/4692120</a>
Dilasia japonica
No full textDilasia japonica (Hiura, 1967) (China, Japan) n. comb. Hiura (1967) placed this species in genus Lasiochilus subgenus Dilasia. Author agrees with him and leaves this species in Dilasia.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 76, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785

Dilasia marianensis
No full textDilasia marianensis (Usinger, 1946) (Micronesia) n. comb. Originally described as Lasiochilus. Author examined specimens of this species and can confirm that it belongs to Dilasia. The presence of spines on hindtibiae in this species, D. denigrata and D. contorta and probably other (from the Old World) may justify regarding them as a new subgenus of Dilasia.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 77, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
Lasiochilus alluaudi Reuter 1893
No full textLasiochilus alluaudi Reuter, 1893 (Seychelles Is.) Because this species was described by O. M. Reuter, author thinks its location within the Lasiochilinae / Lasiochilini is reliable, but its generic placement is uncertain. The original description is very brief and important diagnostic character states were not mentioned. Author highlights only two of them: the longitudinal groove marked on the pronotum, a character present in a few species of different genera, and the forefemora slightly enlarged, a characteristic rare among Dilasia, the genus in which, author supposes, it should be.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 78, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
Oplobates femoraelis Reuter 1895
No full textOplobates femoraelis Reuter, 1895 (Australia) Author has not seen specimens of this genus but the very short labium, armed forefemora and hindtibiae (but not the foretibiae) of Gross’s description (1957) together with Carayon’s doubts of the real position of this genus, suppose an extra-lasiochiline taxonomical position.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on pages 78-79, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
Dilasia triimpressa
No full textDilasia triimpressa (Reuter, 1908) (Ivory Coast) n. comb. Originally placed in Lasiochilus (Dilasia). Though the author did not describe the ostiolar peritreme, the shape of pronotum, the fact that he did not mentions dorsal punctures and the presence of a midfovea, characteristic of some species of this genus (as D. foveicollis) probably justify placing D. triimpressa in Dilasia.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 77, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
Dilasia ashlocki
No full textDilasia ashlocki (Herring, 1966) (Fig. 43) Lasiochilus ashlocki Herring, 1966: 128. Dilasia ashlocki: Carpintero, 2002: 27. Diagnostic characters: Measurements, see Table IV. Easily distinguishable from all others by its coloration, hemelytra dark brown with base of clavus and corion pale yellowish and by the short head as well as its measurements. Antennal segments (I:II:III: IV) ♀ 1: 2.1: 1.8: 1.7. Distribution: Coco Is. (Costa Rica). (Fig. 48) Material examined: Allotype COSTA RICA: ♀ Coco Is. Chatham Bay, 8-III-1964. (P. D. Ashlock). USNM. Discussion. The author had no opportunity to clear specimens because of the lack of additional material. However, he has no hesitation in placing this species in Dilasia because of texture of the hemelytra, the absence of strong punctures with emerging setae, the apically thickened second antennal segment, that is shorter than the head, the labium’s reaching the midcoxae and the typically Dilasia shaped the pronotum and head.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 19, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
Dilasia basalis
No full textDilasia basalis (Reuter, 1884) Lasiochilus basalis Reuter, 1884: 15. Dilasia basalis: Carpintero, 2002: 27. Diagnosic characters: Measurements, see Table IV. Characterized by the combination of following characters: general coloration dark brown to blackish, antennal segment II subequal to head in length, thickened at apex, head prolonged anteriorly from base of antennae, short and thick forefemora, and by the apically thickened opening of the ostiolar peritreme. Antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) ♀ 1: 2.1: 1.9: 2.1. Distribution: Mexico, Grenada and Venezuela. (Fig. 48) Material examined: MEXICO: ♀ Chiapas, Escuintla, Crawford. Lasiochilus basalis Reuter, B. Poppius det. (compared with type) ZMHF; GRENADA: ♀ Chantilly Est. (Windward side), H. H. Smith, 72. USNM. Discussion: As with the previous species, the author had no males with which study the genital structures. However, he left them in Dilasia because of the smooth dorsal surface, shape of pronotum, antennal morphology and the typical forefemora. This species is closely related to D. varicolor in having the second antennal segment thicker at apex, but differs by having this segment longer and by its darker coloration. Its ostiolar peritreme opening has the apex thickened as in D. punctipennis but in this latter species, the apex is acute: in D. basalis it is rounded.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
Lasiochilus (Semiotoscelis) curvicrus Reuter 1884
No full textLasiochilus (Semiotoscelis) curvicrus Reuter, 1884 Restored generic position. Lasiochilus (Semiotoscelis) curvicrus Reuter, 1884: 579. Calliodis curvicrus: Carpintero, 2002: 34. Diagnostic characters: Extracted from the original description: “Piceous shining... base of cuneus darker... femora blackish with apex testaceous as tibiae and tarsi... Differs from L. denigratus (B.-White) (here transferred to Dilasia)... by foretibiae (♂) less dilatated... scutellar margin of clavus and its suture with a row of dense and well marked punctures; clavus toward claval suture, with a row of irregular punctures. Corion with three irregular series of punctures. Membranal suture near the middle of cuneus with a row of punctures. Inner angle of cuneus punctured... “ Distribution: Brazil. (Fig. 200). Discussion: Author has not seen specimens of this species. Based on the original description, however there are no distinguishing characters that would justify regarding this species as belonging to a different genus. This species can be placed in the nominotypical tribal genus because of the deep punctures on hemelytra, labial length and shape of apex of foretibiae in males. In addition, the characteristic general coloration, quite different from the other known species, supports the specific validity of L. curvicrus.Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo, 2014, Western Hemisphere Lasiochilinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with comments on some extralimital species and some considerations on suprageneric relationships, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3871 (1) on page 60, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3871.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494785
