4B209F01936BCD2228F2D0578017060C.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The generic name is derived from Tanzania, the country where the type species was collected, combined with capsus, a common suffix in Miridae generic names. Gender masculine.	en	Taszakowski, Artur, Chérot, Frédéric, Kaszyca-Taszakowska, Natalia, Kim, Junggon (2026): Tanzanocapsus magnus gen. and sp. nov., a new genus and a new species from Tanzania (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Mirinae: Mirini).

4B209F01936BCD2228F2D0578017060C.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This new genus can be distinguished from many other genera of Mirini by its oval body shape combined with a large body size exceeding 11 mm in length. Additional diagnostic characters include a strongly prognathous head, strongly elevated pronotum with carinate and pointed posterior (or humeral) angle, and distinctive male genitalia, which together separate Tanzanocapsus gen. nov. from most other mirine genera. Among genera with a strongly prognathous head and oval body shape, Proboscidocoris Reuter, 1882 is superficially similar. However, Proboscidocoris differs from Tanzanocapsus gen. nov. in having a generally dark brown to black body densely covered with white setae, compound eye reaching the ventral margin of head, pronotum not carinate, toothed claw, sensory lobe of paramere lacking any process and endosomal sclerite with microdentate surface. The strongly elevated pronotum recalls Eurystylus Stål, 1871 and related genera [e. g., Eurystylopsis Poppius, 1911; see Yasunaga et al. (2017)]. However, those genera differ in having an elongate-oval body shape, head not strongly prognathous, pronotum not carinate, pronotal collar particularly elongate (at least in Eurystylus) and sensory lobe of paramere lacking any processes.	en	Taszakowski, Artur, Chérot, Frédéric, Kaszyca-Taszakowska, Natalia, Kim, Junggon (2026): Tanzanocapsus magnus gen. and sp. nov., a new genus and a new species from Tanzania (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Mirinae: Mirini).
