Genitalia. Pygophore. Dorsal rim deeply concave; distance between projections of dorsal rim equals 1.5 times the width of each projection; posterior projections bearing a tuft of short setae ( fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ). Projections of inferior layer of ventral rim subtriangular, apices slightly tumid placed laterally to segment X ( fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ). Superior layer of ventral rim with small tumid areas near median margin of projections of inferior layer ( fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ). Ventral rim uniformly excavated, forming a shallow, narrow aperture covering the lateral portions of segment X ( fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ). Carinae continued from the conical projection of inferior layer low and conspicuous ( fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ). Segment X slightly wider at base, with an inconspicuous boundary between sclerotized and membranous areas; lateral margins sinuous; apex bearing short setae on lateral third ( fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ); genital opening reaching the apex of segment X ( fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ). Parameres with apical angle truncated ( fig. 6C, G, K View FIGURE 6 ); head at most reaching the margin of ventral rim ( fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ), with short setae on ventral surface; posterior margin subrectilinear ( fig. 6C, G, K View FIGURE 6 ). Phallus: lateral projection of phallotheca exceeding the dorsal margin, apex truncated ( fig. 7L View FIGURE 7 ). Dorsal process of vesica short, not bilobed ( fig. 7I View FIGURE 7 ). Ductus seminis distalis twisted, longer than twice the phallotheca length, apical gutter deep ( fig. 7I, K, L View FIGURE 7 ).
Female. Measurements (n=3): head length, 1.17 ± 0.16 (1.01–1.32); width, 1.92 ± 0.21 (1.68–2.06); pronotum length, 1.95 ± 0.26 (1.68–2.21); width, 4.67 ± 0.60 (4.02–5.19); scutellum length, 3.23 ± 0.44 (2.73–3.53); width, 2.85 ± 0.35 (2.46–3.14); length of antennal segments: I, 0.57 ± 0.08 (0.50–0.66); II, 0.47 ± 0.06 (0.40–0.53); III, 0.90 ± 0.11 (0.78–0.99); IV, 0.82 ± 0.05 (0.78–0.87); V, 1.52 ± 0 (1.52–1.52); length of rostrum segments: I, 0.77 ± 0.03 (0.75–0.80); II, 1.30 ± 0.10 (1.20–1.40); III, 0.9 ± 0.05 (0.85–0.95); IV, 0.72 ± 0.03 (0.70–0.75); total length, 7.92 ± 0.84 (7.02–8.67); abdominal width, 4.96 ± 0.62 (4.25–5.39)
Genitalia. Gonocoxites 8 longer than wide; posterior margins slightly sinuous; middle projection over laterotergites 9 and posterolateral projections over laterotergites 8 equally extended; disc with low callus on middle (fig. 8C). Laterotergites 8 wider than long, bearing shallow punctures and middle yellowish spot (fig. 8C). Gonocoxites 9 diamond-shaped; longitudinal suture conspicuous (fig. 8C). Laterotergites 9 at most reaching the band connecting laterotergites 8 (fig. 8C). Thickening of vaginal intima subtriangular ( fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ). Ring sclerites placed close to but not touching the lateral limits of the thickening of gonapophyses 9 ( fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ). Ductus receptaculi anterior to the vesicular area as wide as the intermediary duct; vesicular area at least twice the length of pars intermedialis plus capsula seminalis ( fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ). Length of tubular portion of ductus receptaculi posterior to the vesicular area equals 1/3 the length of vesicular area ( fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ). Pars intermedialis cylindrical, at least four times longer than capsula seminalis, the latter bearing apical processes ( fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ).
Comments. Xynocoris recavus sp. nov. ( fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ) is placed on the base of ‘clade L’, the first dichotomy of Xynocoris gen. nov. clade ( fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ; Garbelotto et al. 2013, ‘sp. 04’). Diagnostic characters of X. recavus sp. nov. are the rostral length, reaching at most the posterior margin of urosternite III, the dorsal rim of pygophore deeply concave, and the ventral rim uniformly excavated ( fig. 5C, F View FIGURE 5 ). This is also the only species of Xynocoris gen. nov. without bilobed dorsal process of vesica and with the apex of basal processes of phallotheca truncated ( fig. 7I, L View FIGURE 7 ).
