Peribalus (Asioperibalus) inclusus (Dohrn, 1860)

Pentatoma inclusa Dohrn, 1860: 103 .

Peribalus inclusus : Reuter, 1900: 233; Jakovlev, 1902: 159.

Peribalus ovatus Jakovlev, 1889: 319 , syn. n.

Peribalus pallidicornis Reuter, 1913: 16 (syn. Kerzhner, 1972: 368, ovatus ).

P. ovatus , described by Jakovlev from a single female collected in Siberia, does not differ from P. inclusus : their external characters and structure of genitalia are identical ( Figs. 7, 9 , 23, 25 , 29, 31 , 88 , 98 ). Therefore, this name is downgraded to a synonym of P. inclusus .

Diagnosis. P. inclusus differs from the similar P. nitidus in the flat jugae and in the structure of the pronotum more densely punctate and edged by a pale yellowish costa deflexed upwards.

Description. Body on upper side sandy-rufous to grayish green, with more or less dense, fine, black punctation. Underside yellow, with sparse black punc-tures. Length of body 6.8–9.0 (7.61) mm; b. lw 1.56– 1.75 (1.63).

Head narrowed anteriorly, with rounded anterior margin [h. wl 1.08–1.25 (1.16)], l. bh 3.63–4.50 (4.07). Jugae flat, with raised margins, slightly emarginate before eyes, longer than clypeus, converging its apex ( Fig. 88 ). Eye medium-sized, ds 1.36–1.44 (1.40). Antenna rufous, with darkened apical segment, l. ba 1.90–2.18 (2.08).

Pronotum transverse [p. wl 2.08–2.38 (2.21)], with straight or slightly concave sides and pale yellowish marginal costa deflexed upwards. Lateral angles rounded, slightly projecting beyond elytral base. Scutellum about as long as wide, s. lw 0.91–1.02 (0.97).

Male genitalia. Aedeagus with 2 pairs of conjunctive processes, sharply curved vesica, and wide sclerotized median plates ( Figs. 23 , 29 ). Parameres as in Fig. 60 . Apical margin of pygofer with narrowly rounded median emargination; apical angles narrowly rounded ( Fig. 78 ).

Female genitalia. Spermatheca with slightly elongate bulb bearing processes, rather well-developed flanges, and sclerotized duct narrowed toward base ( Fig. 7 ).

Distribution. The species is widely distributed in the Eastern-European Plain, southern part of Western Siberia (Altai), Kazakhstan, southern and middle parts of Eastern Siberia, the Far East, and Mongolia. In the south it reaches the Transcaucasia and eastern Turkey, occurs in the mountain part of Azerbaijan (Ordubad, Chananab) (Gidayatov, 1982). The species is trophically associated with Stachys recta , Verbascum orientale , Centaurea pseudocoriacea , and Filipendula hexapetala (Putshkov, 1961) .
