2. Length 9 – 10 mm ........................................................ Diaphorocoris dubreuili Montandon View in CoL

2'. Length 7 – 8 mm ..................................................................................... 3

3. Thoracic and abdominal sterna dark brown to black, except yellowish lateral band; metaxyphus about as long as wide ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 15 – 16 ). Embolium with marginal row of short, black spines ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 11 – 14 ). Scutellum without glabrous tubercles................................................................................................ Diaphorocoris kiliyur View in CoL n. sp.

Scutellum with glabrous tubercles.................................................................................................... 4

4. Pronotum broadly sunken at midline lower than rounded ridge of anterior margin; surface with normal convexity adjacent to lateral hyperoche of head. Embolium with dark coloration immediately anterior to the distal mesal incursion of the yellowishwhite marginal coloration extending only halfway from embolar suture to lateral margin, separated from margin by distance of ca. 5 times the length of a marginal spine ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 11 – 14 )............................. Diaphorocoris punctatissimus (Kirby) View in CoL

4'. Pronotum with slight depression at midline but not sunken below anterior margin; surface with flattened area adjacent to lateral hyperoche of head. Embolium with dark coloration immediately anterior to the distal mesal incursion of the yellowish-white marginal coloration extending close to the margin, separated from margin by distance of 2–3 times the length of a marginal spine ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 11 – 14 )............................................................
