Yamada, Kazutaka, Yasunaga, Tomohide, Artchawakom, Taksin & Sers, 2013, The genus Xylocoris found from plant debris in Thailand, with description of a new species of the subgenus Arrostelus (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae), Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 53 (2), pp. 493-504 : 502

Subgenus Proxylocoris Carayon, 1972

Diagnosis. Easily distinguished from other subgenera by a combination of the following characters: male pro- and mesotibiae with tibial teeth always present, row of tibial teeth on middle leg longer than that of fore leg; canaliculi on surface of ostiolar peritreme distinct and densely distributed; ectospermalege always present on right side of anterodorsal area of abdomen (usually between abdominal tergite II and III).

Remarks. Proxylocoris is the second largest group in this genus and comprises about 20 described species. Most of them are distributed in central and eastern Palaearctic Region (PÉRI- CART 1996), whereas only three species occur in the Oriental Region ( YAMADA et al. 2006).
