Sejanus macer Schuh View in CoL

Sejanus macer Schuh, 1984: 177 View in CoL , figs. 499, 587, 592–594 (diag., descr., disc., n. sp., diag., descr., DV, MG).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by elongate body form with nearly parallel lateral margins, completely dark castaneous coloration of body and hemelytron including antennal segment 1, all trochanters, all femora excluding extreme apices adjacent to tibiae, and metatibiae, single, large white spot on interior anterior margin of cuneus, spinelike processes at apex of endosoma, and semicircular secondary gonopore.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: New Guinea.

DISCUSSION: Schuh (1984) noted that S. macer is nearly identical in body form to S. elongatus ; however, the form of the male genitalia and the lack of white patches on the corium of S. macer distinguish the two taxa.
