A New Synonymy in Abascantus Stål, 1864 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Discocephalinae: Discocephalini)
A previously described species, Pelidnocoris julianedillerae Arnold, 2012, was overlooked in a recent revision of Pelidnocoris Stål, 1868. Upon examination of Arnold’s description and comparison with images of the type material, we conclude that this species does not belong to Pelidnocoris. The following subjective synonym is recognized: Abascantus grandis Becker, 1977 = Pelidnocoris julianedillerae Arnold, 2012 new synonymy.
