Treatment

Subgenus Dimorphella Reuter, 1884

Orius (D.) dravidiensis Muraleedharan, 1977 – India, Cambodia, Thailand ( BALLAL et al. 2018).

Orius (D.) indicus (Reuter, 1884) – India ( BALLAL et al. 2018). Based on our examination of the lectotype deposited in Zoological Museum, University of Helsinki, Finland (by the first author in March 1998), this species should be placed in the subgenus Dimorphella and is very similar in external appearance to O. maxidentex or O. tantillus ; either of the two taxa may be synonymous with O. indicus but further verification is required.

Orius (D.) latibasis Ghauri, 1972 – India ( BALLAL et al. 2018).

Orius (D.) maxidentex Ghauri, 1972 – India including Andaman Nicobar Islands, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, Thailand, UnitedArab Emirates ( BALLAL et al. 2018).

Orius (D.) tantillus (Motschulsky, 1863) – Known widely from subtropics and tropics of the Old World, including the Pacific Islands ( BALLAL et al. 2018).
