Key to Oriental species of Bothriomiris

1. Pronotum with triangular, ochraceous patch from anterior margin till its medial portion............... B. ornatus Bergroth

- Pronotum entirely reddish to black ( Figs. 3–4 ), sometimes with anterior lobe yellow and with yellow swelling from anterior lobe till posterior margin ( Figs. 1–2 ), but never with triangular, ochraceous patch anteriorly........................... 2

2. Scutellum entirely blackish brown; corium with rounded, contrastingly pale patch apically (see Yasunaga 2000: Fig. 80 and Yasunaga & Miyamoto 2006: Figs. 1 A, 2A); metepisternum sparsely punctate (see Yasunaga 2000: Fig. 81 )................................................................................................ B. capillosus Yasunaga

- Scutellum usually dark brown with more or less developed pale pattern apically ( Figs. 1–4 ), sometimes entirely reddish; corium without pale patch apically ( Figs. 3–4 ), or with Y-shaped yellow pattern ( Figs. 1–2 ); metepisternum distinctly punctate.................................................................................................... 3

3. Dorsal surface entirely reddish............................................................ B. testaceus Distant

- Dorsal surface usually dark brown or blackish dark brown, sometimes with yellow, reddish or ochraceous areas ( Figs. 1–4 ). 4

4. Vertex with two distinct, broad tubercles, each situated laterally and contiguous with inner margin of eye and occipital carina; antennal segment I longer than width of vertex ( Fig. 4 ); left paramere with sensory lobe strongly convex, without any sharply pointed process (see Gorczyca 2005: Fig. 3 )............................................. B. sulawesicus Gorczyca

- Tubercles on vertex weakly developed; antennal segment I nearly as long or shorter than width of vertex ( Figs. 1–3 ); left paramere with sensory lobe not convex ( Fig. 37 ), or if convex furnished with sharply pointed process (see Gorczyca 2005: Fig. 6 ).................................................................................................. 5

5. Dorsal surface almost entirely blackish dark brown except dull yellowish apex of scutellum, transverse patch on apex of

corium, and apex of cuneus ( Fig. 3 ); pronotal calli punctate; posterior lobe of pronotum entirely blackish ( Fig. 3 ); left paramere with sensory lobe distinctly convex, furnished with distinct spine (see Gorczyca 2005: Fig. 6 ).......... B. lugubris Poppius - Dorsum varying from pale brown with reddish and yellowish tinges to dark brown or blackish with yellowish stripes and patches ( Figs. 1–2 ); pronotal calli inpunctate; posterior lobe of pronotum with distinct, pale, longitudinal stripe at median ( Figs. 1–2 ); left paramere with sensory lobe indistinctly convex ( Fig. 22 )....................... B. dissimulans (Walker)
