Emnicoris Taszakowski, Kim & Gierlasiński gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: F5E38E17-BFD5-4720-9BC2-C8FBA9B5D1A8 Type species Emnicoris silesianus Taszakowski, Kim & Gierlasiński gen. et sp. nov., here designated. Diagnosis Distinct from other genera of Deraeocorini by the following combination of characters: body elongate, almost parallel-sided, glossy, mostly brown to fuscous (Fig. 1A–B); head weakly prognathous, frons more or less vertical to clypeus, clypeus projected forwardly (Fig. 1B); vertex narrow, in males 0.3× as long as head width (Fig. 1A); compound eye large (Fig. 1A), in males wider than vertex, ventral margin reaching gula (Fig. 2A–C); antennae thick, shorter than body length (Fig. 1A); first to third antennomeres clavate (Fig. 1A–B); fourth antennomere fusiform; second antennomere shorter than total head width, and shorter than combination of third and fourth antennomeres (Fig. 1A–B); labium short, reaching mesocoxa (Fig. 1B); pronotum large, posterior angle beyond hemelytra lateral margin (Fig. 1A); scutellum small, apically tapering, flat (Fig. 1A); hemelytra glabrous, lateral margin almost straight, very weakly concave (Fig. 1A); claval commissure longer than scutellum length (Fig. 1A); hypocostal lamina with notches forming stridulitrum (Fig. 2F); legs somewhat short and thick (Fig. 1B); all femora thick (Fig. 1A–B); distal part of metafemoral ventral surface with 4–5 ribs forming plectra (Fig. 2G); metatibia thickened (Fig. 1B), third tarsomere longest, subequal to combination of first and second tarsomere (Fig. 2I); left paramere scythe-shaped, 2 × as long as right paramere, hypophysis long and thin, flat apically, sensory lobe weakly projected, covered with setae (Fig. 1F); right paramere rod-shaped, short, hypophysis flat apically (Fig. 1E); endosoma with multiple sclerites, medial sclerite large and broad, lateral sclerite thin (Fig. 1C–D). Etymology The genus name is combined as an abbreviation ‘EMN’ of the event ‘Europejskie Miasto Nauki’ (European City of Science), in which a student project was initiated, resulting in the description of this species, and combined with a Greek noun, ‘coris’ (κόρις = bug), gender masculine. Description BODY. Elongate and parallel, medium in size (3.6–4.1), glossy. TEXTURE AND VESTITURE. Body strongly glossy, glabrous (Fig. 1A–B); head glabrous, impunctate (Figs 1A, 2B–C); antennae with dense short setae (Fig. 1A–B); pronotum almost glabrous, partly punctate, calli region impunctate (Figs 1A–B, 2D); scutellum impunctate, covered with few setae (Fig. 1A, 2E); hemelytra almost glabrous, covered by single, erect, sparsely distributed setae (Fig. 2E–F), strongly punctate (Figs 1A–B, 2E–F); legs glossy, densely covered with short setae (Fig. 1A–B); abdomen sparsely covered with setae (Fig. 1B). HEAD. Weakly prognathous, frons almost vertical to clypeus, clypeus projected forwardly in lateral view (Figs 1B, 2A); vertex narrow, shorter than single compound eye width (Figs 1A, 2B–C); compound eye large (Fig. 2A–C), ventral margin reaching gula in lateral view (Figs 1B, 2A); antennae thick, shorter than body length (Fig. 1A); first to third antennomere clavate; fourth antennomere fusiform; second antennomere shorter than ½ of third antennomere, shorter than combination of third and fourth antennomeres; third antennomere subequal to fourth antennomere (Fig. 1A–B); labium short, reaching midcoxae (Fig. 1B); all labial segments subequal in length (Fig. 1B). THORAX. Pronotum relatively large (Fig. 2D), posterior angles extending far laterad beyond hemelytra lateral margins, length 0.5–1.0× posterior maximal width (Fig. 1A); scutellum small, apically tapering, width shorter than length, flat in lateral view (Figs 1A, 2E); hemelytra elongate, lateral margin almost straight, very weakly concave (Fig. 1A); hypocostal lamina with notches forming stridulitrum (Fig. 2F); commissure longer than scutellum length (Fig. 1A); legs somewhat short and thick (Fig. 1A–B); distal half of metafemoral ventral surface with 4–5 ribs forming plectrum (Fig. 2G); third tarsomere longest, subequal to combination of first and second tarsomere (Figs 1B, 2H). ABDOMEN. Short, not reaching to apex of cuneus (Fig. 1B). MALE GENITALIA. Left paramere scythe-shaped, longer than 2 × right paramere, hypophysis long and thin, flat apically, sensory lobe projected, with setae (Fig. 1F); right paramere rod-shaped, small, hypophysis flat apically, sensory lobe broad (Fig. 1E); endosoma with multiple sclerites; medial sclerite large and broad, lateral sclerite narrow; ductus seminis long (Fig. 1D). FEMALE GENITALIA (Fig. 3). Bursa copulatrix relatively broad (Fig. 3H); sclerotized ring (sr) situated laterally, thickrimmed; attachment (att) long, attached to sr; lateral oviducts (lo) located posteriorlaterally, long, in the basal part broad, with asymmetrically distributed small sclerites (sc); spermathecal gland (sgl) located centrally; gonapophyses 8 and 9 (first and second valvulae) (gp8, gp9) with apex sharpened and finely serrate (Fig. 3F–G).
