Diagnosis. Bothriomiris is recognized by the following combination of characters: dorsum covered with dense, semierect or erect setae ( Figs. 23 View FIGURES 20 – 27 , 30–31 View FIGURES 28 – 35 , 48); head rugose ( Figs. 42–43 View FIGURES 42 – 47 ); pronotal calli convex, sometimes occupying most of anterior lobe ( Figs. 1–4 View FIGURES 1 – 18 ); metepisternum covered with more or less densely distributed punctures ( Figs. 25–26 View FIGURES 20 – 27 ); peritreme usually obtuse, covered with microtrichae; scutellum nearly flattened or weakly arched ( Figs. 1–4 View FIGURES 1 – 18 , 48–49); cuneus longer than its width ( Figs. 1–4 View FIGURES 1 – 18 , 48); endosoma usually missing at least one endosomal sclerite; DSS usually thin, nearly parallel-sided along entire length relative to the ductus seminis ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 36 – 41 ).

Remarks. The genus Bothriomiris is most similar to Dashymeniella and Leprocapsus in having the dense punctation on metepisternum ( Figs. 25–26 View FIGURES 20 – 27 , 52–53 View FIGURES 49 – 54 ), the antennal segment I narrowed at basal one fourth ( Figs. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 35 , 94 View FIGURES 88 – 95 ), and the relatively thin antennal segment II, covered with moderately dense setae ( Figs. 29 View FIGURES 28 – 35 , 48, 95). However, Bothriomiris can be separated from the latter two genera by the structure of the head, with the frons flattened at apex in Bothriomiris ( Figs. 42–43 View FIGURES 42 – 47 ), while in Dashymeniella and Leprocapsus the frons is characteristically rounded and convex apically ( Figs. 46–47 View FIGURES 42 – 47 ). Further, the clypeus in Bothriomiris is basally concave and nearly parallel-sided along whole its distal length whereas it is rounded, swollen, and broadened at basal one third in Dashymeniella and Leprocapsus . The scutellum in Bothriomiris is nearly flat or weakly arched ( Figs. 1–4 View FIGURES 1 – 18 , 48–49), while in Dashymeniella and Leprocapsus the scutellum possesses distinct medial longitudinal swelling ( Dashymeniella , Figs. 13–17 View FIGURES 1 – 18 , 52 View FIGURES 49 – 54 ) or is strongly convex ( Leprocapsus , Figs. 18 View FIGURES 1 – 18 , 54 View FIGURES 49 – 54 ). The endosoma in most species of Bothriomiris , -including the type species Bothriomiris dissimulans - is simple with a thin DSS and the other sclerites absent (see Yasunaga 2000: Fig. 85 View FIGURES 80 – 86 ; Gorczyca 2005: Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 18 ; Yasunaga & Miyamoto 2006: Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 18 F) or weakly developed ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 36 – 41 ) while in Dashymeniella ( Figs. 96, 99, 102, 105 View FIGURES 96 – 107 ) and Leprocapsus (Wolski, submitted) the endosoma has the DSS broadened and the other sclerites well developed.
