Diagnosis.
Renicoris gen. nov. resembles Chenicoris Chen & Cai, 2020 in the structure of the head and the male genitalia (Figs 1 View Figure 1 - 3 View Figure 3 ). However, in the new genus, the pronotum is trapezoidal and its median transversal constriction is indistinct (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ); the posterior pronotal lobe is not enlarged, the lateral pronotal angle is spine-shaped; the lateral margin of pronotum is straight (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ); the abdomen is rhomboid, and the fourth to sixth connexival segments of the abdomen are produced laterally (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ); the median pygophore process is bifid with acute angles (Fig. 3a, b View Figure 3 ) (vs. in Chenicoris , the pronotum is not trapezoidal due to its median transversal strong constriction; the posterior pronotal lobe is much enlarged and the lateral pronotal angle is rounded; the lateral margin of pronotum is distinctly constricted in the middle; the abdomen is not rhomboid, the fourth to sixth connexival segments of the abdomen are produced laterally, especially the lateral angle of the fifth segment which is dilated and round; the median pygophore process is absent). The genera morphologically related to the new genus can be separated using the following key.
Generic character.
Body somewhat robust (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). Head shorter than pronotum, with a small round tubercle behind base of each antennal tubercle (Figs 1a View Figure 1 , 2a View Figure 2 ); eyes large and protruded laterally (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2a-c View Figure 2 ); ocelli elevated; anteocular part slightly longer than postocular part, transversely constricted between eyes; postocular part posteriorly narrower (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2a-c View Figure 2 ); first antennal segment nearly as long as head and pronotum together in length; first rostral segment longest and extending to middle of eyes (Fig. 2b View Figure 2 ). Pronotum dorsally slightly flat, somewhat anteriorly declining, medially with indistinct transversal constriction; lateral margin nearly straight; anterior angle round; anterior pronotal lobe 1/2 as long as posterior lobe; middle part of posterior lobe faintly bulgy, two sides with lateral sulci; lateral pronotal angles produced laterally, short spine-shaped, with round protuberance behind it; posterior and posterolateral margins nearly straight; posterior angle round; scutellum subtriangular with Y-shaped ridge (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2a-c View Figure 2 ). Legs thick and robust, fore legs somewhat thickened (Figs 1 View Figure 1 , 2 View Figure 2 ). Fore wing with inner cell wider than outer cell at base. Fourth to sixth connexival segments of abdomen laterally slightly rhombus-shaped dilated.
Distribution.
China (Yunnan).
Etymology.
The genus is named after the Chinese entomologist Shu-Zhi Ren (Nankai University, Tianjin, China), for her great contribution to the taxonomy of Chinese Heteroptera . The Greek noun coris means “bug”. Gender masculine.
