Remarks. In this paper Adcylapocoris castaneus —the single representative of Adcylapocoris is included in Cylapocoris and reflected in the revised diagnosis of the genus provided above. Carvalho (1989b) distinguished Adcylapocoris by the impunctate pronotum and the membrane covered with dense setae on the surface outside the membrane cells. My examination of the holotype of A. castaneus and almost all Cylapocoris species, however, revealed that these taxa share numerous characters, such as: the three rows of punctures on the corium and clavus ( Figs. 78–79 View FIGURES 72 – 79 ; Carvalho 1954: Pl. II, Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ); the right paramere with the apical process characteristically broadened dorsally, with characteristic subapical process situated dextrolaterally (e.g. Figs. 25 View FIGURES 23 – 32 , 47 View FIGURES 40 – 49 , 53 View FIGURES 51 – 60 ; Carvalho 1954: Pl. II, Fig. 41 View FIGURES 40 – 49 ); and the left paramere with the paramere body distinctly broadened (e.g. Figs. 26 View FIGURES 23 – 32 , 70 View FIGURES 62 – 71 ; Carvalho 1954: Pl. II, Figs. 2–3 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ), with the apical process, in dorsal view, terminated with rounded process and with characteristic subapical incision (e.g. Figs. 27 View FIGURES 23 – 32 , 44 View FIGURES 40 – 49 , 60 View FIGURES 51 – 60 , 71 View FIGURES 62 – 71 ). Most Cylapocoris species possess characters provided by Carvalho (1989b) for distinguishing Adcylapocoris , such as more or less developed vestiture on the membrane (e.g. C. costaricaensis , C. simplex , C. sulinus ) ( Figs. 90–91 View FIGURES 90 – 91 ) and very sparsely punctate or impunctate pronotum ( C. sulinus , C. laevigatus ) ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 33 – 39 ) which also constitutes the argument favouring the inclusion of A. castaneus in Cylapocoris .
Cylapocoris is most similar to Cylapocoroides Carvalho, 1989 in sharing the following characters: 1) corium and clavus with the three rows of punctures ( Figs. 78–79 View FIGURES 72 – 79 ; Carvalho 1989c), 2) the vestiture on the membrane ( Figs. 90–91 View FIGURES 90 – 91 ; Carvalho 1989c), 3) the left paramere with the apical process characteristically broadened dorsally, with characteristic subapical process situated dextrolaterally (e.g. Figs. 25 View FIGURES 23 – 32 , 47 View FIGURES 40 – 49 , 53 View FIGURES 51 – 60 ; see also Carvalho 1989c: Fig. 9 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). Cylapocoris can be easily distinguished from Cylapocoroides by the indistinct and flattened pronotal calli ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ) which in the second genus are prominent (Carvalho 1989c).
