Additional contributions to the Lygus complex (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Miridae, Mirinae) in Vietnam, with descriptions of four new species

As part of an ongoing study of Mirinae in Vietnam, additional data on the so-called Lygus complex are presented. Five genera, Apolygopsis Yasunaga, Schwartz & Chérot, 2002, Apolygus China, 1941, Diognetus Distant, 1904, Euphorbialygus Yasunaga, 2024, and Himalisundacoris Yasunaga, 2024 are newly recorded from Vietnam. Four species are described herein as new: Apolygus namyatovae Kim & Jung, sp. nov ., Diognetus schwartzi Kim & Jung, sp. nov ., Euphorbialygus kontumensis Kim & Jung, sp. nov ., and Himalisundacoris yasunagai Kim & Jung, sp. nov . In addition, three species, Anthophilolygus alaneylesi Yasunaga, Schwartz & Chérot, 2018, Apolygopsis nigra (Poppius, 1915), and Prolygus nigriclavus (Poppius, 1915) are newly recorded from Vietnam. Detailed descriptions and diagnoses based on external and genitalic morphology are provided for each species, together with detailed illustrations.

Abstract

As part of an ongoing study of Mirinae in Vietnam, additional data on the so-called Lygus complex are presented. Five genera, Apolygopsis Yasunaga, Schwartz & Chérot, 2002, Apolygus China, 1941, Diognetus Distant, 1904, Euphorbialygus Yasunaga, 2024, and Himalisundacoris Yasunaga, 2024 are newly recorded from Vietnam. Four species are described herein as new: Apolygus namyatovae Kim & Jung, sp. nov ., Diognetus schwartzi Kim & Jung, sp. nov ., Euphorbialygus kontumensis Kim & Jung, sp. nov ., and Himalisundacoris yasunagai Kim & Jung, sp. nov . In addition, three species, Anthophilolygus alaneylesi Yasunaga, Schwartz & Chérot, 2018, Apolygopsis nigra (Poppius, 1915), and Prolygus nigriclavus (Poppius, 1915) are newly recorded from Vietnam. Detailed descriptions and diagnoses based on external and genitalic morphology are provided for each species, together with detailed illustrations.
