Bifaciomiris vietnamensis Kim & Jung sp. nov.
( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 D–F, 3A–H)
Diagnosis: Distinguished by the following combination of characters: body brownish; broad dark markings in posterior part of corium ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 D–F); not rounded, concave lateral margin and sharp hypophysis of right paramere ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ); endosoma with six sclerites and one spicule; extremely elongated sclerite I, elongated sclerite II with narrow part subapically, broadly developed sclerite III without projected apex, elongated sclerite V with one large projection and tooth-like structure, long and curved sclerite VI, thick scythe-shaped spicule ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 C–E); oval lateral lobe, not reaching to lateral margin of interramal lobe, blunt and rounded medial apex of interramal lobe ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 G–H).
Description: Male: Body oval, length 3.49. COLORATION: mostly brownish. Head: pale brown dorsally, two-colored with reddish brown frons and entirely dark brown clypeus, mandibular plate and maxillary plate; antennae generally dark brown; first segment brown with dark stripe laterally; second segment entirely dark brown; third segment almost dark brown except for pale base; clypeus, mandibular and maxillary plates entirely dark brown; labium almost reddish brown, apical part of fourth segment dark brown, others reddish brown. Thorax: pronotum entirely brownish with reflection of dark coloration under pronotum; callus and anterior part of pronotum orange brown; pronotal collar brown; scutellum entirely blackish dark brown; hemelytra generally brownish orange; inner part of clavus dark brown with dark commissure, dark coloration connecting to scutellum; anterior part of corium slightly darker, postero-lateral and postero-medial parts with dark markings; cuneus with dark brown marking, apex of cuneus dark brown; legs almost brownish orange; femur with brownish rings subapically, tinged with red slightly; apex of tibia dark brown; third tarsal segment dark brown. Abdomen: entirely blackish dark brown, genital segment somewhat paler ventrally. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: as in generic description. STRUCTURE: Head: vertex width shorter than length of first antennal segment and longer than eye width in dorsal view; antennae cylindrical; first and second segment thicker than others; second antennal segment slightly thicker gradually toward apex; apex of labium slightly exceeding apex of hind coxae; proportion of first to fourth labial segments 0.4:0.4:0.3:0.4. Thorax: pronotum trapezoid, posterior margin of pronotum angled convexly; scutellum equilateral; lateral margin of hemelytra rounded; cuneal fracture well developed; membrane with two cells; legs generally slender; hind femur somewhat thick; tibia slender; third tarsal segment longer than others. Abdomen: rounded, reaching to apex of cuneus. GENITALIA: left paramere with upwardly developed sensory lobe, sensory lobe somewhat thick, apex of hypophysis sharp and curved medially ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ); right paramere rod-shaped, lateral margin concave, not rounded, hypophysis somewhat thin, its apex sharp ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ); endosoma with one spicule and six sclerites, membranous parts reduced; sc I extremely elongated with spinules, its apex sharp; sc II elongated, with narrow part subapically; sc III broadly developed apically, its apex somewhat triangular; sc IV long, its apex circular; sc V long, with one large projection and tooth-like structure, sc VI long and curved, scs short and thin, its apex sharp ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 C–E).
Female: Ovoid, length 3.54. COLORATION: as in male. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: as in male. STRUC- TURE: somewhat more rounded oval in overall shape than male. GENITALIA: sr elongated, tetragonal, closed to each other ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ); llb positioned on irl, llb oval, not broadly developed, not reaching to lateral margin of irl; irl largely developed, with projection medially, its apex blunt; ms elongated oval ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 G–H).
