Placocoris sp. [ Fig. 101 View FIGURES 96‒108 ]

Distribution of the genus. Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, and Argentina. New record for Colombia.

Distribution in Colombia. Caquetá.

Remarks. The specimens examined did not fit any known species of the genus. Thomas (2021) includes this genus in Ochlerini (Discocephalinae) based on the trichobothrial arrangement but without testing these (and other) characters in a cladistic analysis. Because of the uncertain position of Placocoris , we decide to maintain it within Pentatomini in this study.
