Pseudohallodapocoris ifar Schuh, 1984: 233 , figs. 761, 762, 765–767 (n. sp., diag., descr., DV, MG).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by cuneus with less than half of its anterior area posterior to cuneal fracture white, relatively narrow transverse fascia near middle of hemelytron rather than posterior to apex of scutellum, anterior lobe of pronotum weakly separated from posterior lobe, and shape of male genitalia.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Western New Guinea [ Indonesia].

DISCUSSION: We did not reexamine the holotype of this species, but the original description and illustrations of the male genitalia clearly indicate it is unique.

Pseudohallodapocoris kokoda Schuh, 1984: 233 , figs. 761, 763, 768, 769 (n. sp., diag., descr., DV, figs. head-pronotum).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by incomplete transverse fascia on hemelytron, majority of anterior area of cuneus white, weakly removed anterior surface of eyes compared to vertex and vertex completely visible in lateral view, relatively weakly swollen posterior lobe of pronotum, and relatively short anterior lobe of pronotum.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea.

DISCUSSION: We did not reexamine the holotype of this species, but the relatively small eyes compared to the other species, the less pronounced differentiation between the anterior and posterior lobes of the pronotum, and the other characters in the diagnosis clearly indicate it is unique.
