Orientomiris chiangmai sp. nov. (Figs 6K–M, 7A–B, 8B, D, 12E, 17G–L, 18J–O) Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, THAILAND: Chiang Mai, Baan Khun Chiang Khian, Chiang Mai Univ. Exp. Forest, 18°50′N 98°54′E, UV lighting, 15–16.xi.1989, T.Yasunaga (DOAT) (AMNH _PBI AMNH _ PBI 00378803). PARATYPES: THAILAND: Chiang Mai, same data as for holotype, 2 JJ (TYCN); same locality, sweeping flowers of broadleaf trees, 16–17.xi.1989, T. Yasunaga, 1 J 3 ♀♀ (TYCN, ZRC); Chiang Mai, Doi Pui, 18°48′N 98°55′E, 18.xi.1989, T. Yasunaga, 1 ♀ (TYCN). Diagnosis. This new species is most closely related to the preceding O. andrzeji sp. nov., from which O. chiangmai sp. nov. can be distinguished by its paler general coloration; pale brown head with a pair of brown stripes; wider vertex in female; reddish brown labium; almost uniformly pale brown or brown hemelytron; pale base of metatibia; different pattern of sclerites on vesica (cf. Figs 6J, M); and interramal lobe with sparser and shorter spinules restricted to distal half (Fig. 18O). Description. Body pale brown to brown, parallel-sided, moderate in size; dorsal surface weakly shining, with uniformly distributed, pale, simple, semierect setae (Figs 7A, 17G). Head pale brown, weakly shining, with pair of brown stripes (Fig. 7A); vertex 0.29–0.33 (J) / 0.35–0.38 (♀) times as wide as head across eyes. Antenna pale brown; segment I ventrally with grayish brown stripe connecting to apical brown ring; apical 1/6–1/7 of segment II darkened; segment III brown, with two faint yellow annulations at base and apical 1/3; segment IV brown, with pale basal 1/3. Labium pale reddish brown, slightly exceeding apex of metacoxa. Pronotum usually uniformly pale brown to brown, slightly darkened along posterior margin, with pale brown collar and posterior margin; pleura uniformly pale brown; metathoracic scent efferent system as in Fig. 17H; mesoscutum and scutellum pale brown; mesoscutum narrowly darkened medially; scutellum with small triangular fuscous macula at base and dark apex. Hemelytron brown to castaneous brown; exocorium slightly paler, with exocorial serration as in Fig. 17I; cuneus uniformly reddish brown; membrane pale smoky brown, with fuscous veins. Coxae and legs pale brown; metafemur with two obscure fasciae subapically; metafemoral plectra as in Figs 12E, 17J; tibial spines pale brown; pretarsal structures as in Figs 17K–L. Abdomen pale brown. Male genitalia (Figs 6K–M, 8B, D, 18J–L): pygophore with stout process at base of left paramere (Fig. 8B); left paramere semi-circularly curved, constricted at base of hypophysis (Figs 6L, 18J); vesical lobal sclerites as in Figs 6M, 8D, with elongate, apically hooked sclerite that is accompanied by short hair-like processes (Fig. 6M). Female genitalia (Figs 18M–O): interramal lobe weakly projected at inner margin, with sparsely distributed spinules on distal half area (Figs 18N–O); dorsal structure sparsely with short spinules (Fig. 18O). Measurements. See Table 1. Etymology. Named after the type locality, Chiang Mai District in northern Thailand; a noun in apposition. Biology. Unknown. Several specimens including teneral adults were found on inflorescence of undetermined broadleaf trees. Distribution. North Thailand (Chiang Mai).
