Note. Derjanschi & Péricart (2005: 117, 234–235) keyed the genus Dymantis in their monograph of West Palaearctic Pentatomidae , placing the genus in Sciocorini. However, this is in error because this in fact concerns the genus Phaeocoris Jakovlev, 1887, that has been synonymized with Dymantis by Kerzhner (1972) based on similar habitus, but restored from the synonymy and transferred tentatively to Myrocheini by Gapon & Baena (2005).
