Comments.
As in
Apolygopsis eoa
based on the small size, brown tibial spines and two long processes at apex of right paramere in the
holotype
(images available from http://twinsecttype.nmns.edu.tw/specimen/?id=NMNSSDEI-00185),
Lygus fuhoshoensis
should also be placed in
Apolygopsis
, instead of
Apolygus
. This species can be distinguished from
A. eoa
by the pale brown general colouration and uniformly pale cuneus. Measurements were provided by
ZHENG et al. (2004)
: Body length 3.92, maximum width 1.71; width of head across eyes 0.85; vertex width 0.25; lengths of antennal segment I 0.50, II 1.30, III 0.83, IV 0.43; pronotum length 0.86; and pronotal width 1.49.
