03B66912FFB50460FE34FA9AFBC0FE89.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Physopeltinae are principally diagnosed by the intersegmental sulci between abdominal sternites being deeply sinuated (S-shaped). In Larginae, the intersegmental sulci between sternites are straight.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L. (2013): Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae).

03B66912FFB50460FE34FA9AFBC0FE89.taxon	discussion	Comment. The genera of Largidae are quite diversified in their external morphology and quite uniform in genitalic morphology, so no additional clear-cut diagnostic characters for the subfamilies can currently be recognized.

03B66912FFB30460FE4FFEBDFB85FC19.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Labium reaching between meso- and metacoxae. Callar lobe gibbose or not. Ventral surface of profemora with smooth longitudinal furrow along its entire length, denticles forming two longitudinal rows, one on each side of the furrow. Parameres short, directed obliquely towards midline of the genital chamber, not crossing each other, not surpassing ventral rim of pygophore. Parameres basally wide, middle portion forming rounded lobe with sensory setae on its ventral side; apical part narrowed, straight, apically narrowly rounded (Figs 8 – 12, 30 – 34, 55 – 59, 75 – 79).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFB30460FE4FFEBDFB85FC19.taxon	discussion	These characters were examined in all known genera of the subfamily (except male characters of Wachsiella). Parameres of various genera and species and their modifications were figured e. g. by ZAMAL & CHOPRA (1990) and STEHLÍK & JINDRA (2008 a). Genera included. Delacampius Distant, 1903, Iphita Stål, 1870, Jindraia Stehlík, 2006, Physopelta Amyot & Serville, 1843, and Taeuberella Schmidt, 1932. The systematic position of the genus Wachsiella is doubtful. The profemur of this taxon lacks any longitudinal furrow ventrally, which is a diagnostic character of the tribe Physopeltini. As the genus is known only by the female sex and male characters cannot be considered to elucidate its relationships, I classify the genus here as Physopeltinae incertae sedis.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFB30462FE1CFC2AFBC0FC89.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Head not shortened, not positioned much lower than pronotum. Callar lobe of pronotum usually strongly gibbose in male and less gibbose in female (different among subgenera). Pronotum not constricted, its lateral margins narrow, only slightly concave medially. Profemora ventrally with a longitudinal furrow (Figs 5, 19, 51, 66 − 67, 98). Stridulatory organs (when present) on coxa and trochanter of fore leg (Figs 1 − 2, 17 − 18). Macropterous. Male abdomen never prolonged behind apex of hemelytra. Body length 9.5 – 20.0 mm.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L. (2013): Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae). Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 53 (2): 505-584, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5739959
03B66912FFB30462FE1CFC2AFBC0FC89.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The present revision of the genus Physopelta in its traditional concept (i. e., excluding Delacampius) revealed that it is not a monophyletic taxon. While Physopelta festiva and Ph. apicalis must be excluded from the genus, the remaining species belonging to Physopelta can be further divided into four well-delimited subgenera. In contrast with the two Afrotropical subgenera proposed in the present paper (Afrophysopelta subgen. nov., Physopeltoides subgen. nov.) which lack any sexual dimorphism, the two subgenera from the Oriental and Australian Regions (Physopelta s. str., Neophysopelta sensu novo) have developed sexual dimorphism: males have more gibbose callar lobe, incrassate profemora, and a longitudinal row of small denticles on the ventral surface of the protibia. This sexual dimorphism is also connected with allometry causing individual differences among the conspecific males. This sexual dimorphism and allometry were described by STEHLÍK (2007: 127) who provided colour photos of a normal male, an allometric male, and a female of Physopelta (Neophysopelta) gutta gutta (Burmeister, 1834) and Ph. (N.) quadriguttata Bergroth, 1894. Moreover, males of Physopelta s. str. have a strong spine anteapically on the ventral surface of the protibia, which is missing in females. The presence of a longitudinal row of small denticles on the ventral surface of the meso- and metafemora, which could be sexually dimorphic and may also vary within the allometry in males, is recognized here as useful character for defining genera within Physopeltinae. This character was used for the first time in descriptions of Physopelta trimaculata Stehlík & Jindra, 2008 and Ph. kotheae Stehlík & Jindra, 2008 (STEHLÍK & JINDRA 2008 a). In some cases, a longitudinal furrow on the ventral surface of the metafemora may even be present. The Oriental subgenera Physopelta s. str. and Neophysopelta possess stridulatory organs, which has a specific structure in both of the subgenera, and which are missing in the Afrotropical Physopeltoides subgen. nov. and Afrophysopelta subgen. nov. These stridulatory organs, described here for the first time, seems to be unique within all known Heteroptera. Key to the subgenera of Physopelta	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFB10462FED2FC1FFCB8F9FC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Body large (15.7 – 21.0 mm) and wide (5.1 – 7.0 mm). Labium reaching between metacoxae. Antennomere 1 long in both sexes, invariably longer than antennomere 2, as long as or sometimes even longer than pronotum. Sexual dimorphism well expressed, callar lobe strongly gibbose in males (Fig. 13), weakly gibbose in females (Fig. 14). Profemora in males strongly incrassate, ventral surface with longitudinal furrow in its entire length bordered with a number of spines on both sides (Fig. 5). In females profemora distinctly more slender, with fewer spines. Protibia ventrally with a strong anteapical tooth and a row of small denticles along its entire length in males (Figs 5, 15), unarmed in females. Mesofemora of males ventrally with a row of small denticles, these missing in females. Allometry of males exists: the sexually dimorphic characters are much more expressed in some males than in others. Stridulatory organs in form of a large tooth (strigil) on protrochanter, matching a depression on ventral surface of procoxa (plectrum) (Figs 1 − 2). Peritreme of metathoracic scent glands horizontal, more or less scimitar-shaped with rounded apex, from ostiole directed laterad to slightly posterolaterad (Figs 3 − 4). Paramere with apex longer and narrower, outer margin basally angulately produced (Figs 8 − 12).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

FABRICIUS (1781, 1794, 1803) and GOEZE (1790) recorded the species from Surinam in error. Old records of Physopelta albofasciata from China, Japan (e. g., MATSUMURA 1905, HUA 2000), and Taiwan, refer either to Ph. cincticollis or to Ph. parviceps (KERZHNER 2001). The occurrence of Ph. albofasciata in Taiwan was not confirmed recently (RÉDEI et al. 2009). MATSUMURA (1905) listed the species from India with a question mark (it was also listed in this way by HUSSEY (1929 )) and its distribution in India is mentioned by VOIGT (2006); however, such a record was not confirmed by a study of extensive museum materials, and it is not probable.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

AHMAD & ABBAS (1987) did not explicitely designate a type species for Neophysopelta, but in a comment on p. 136 they stated: ‘ this species is at the moment the only species of the genus, ’ which should be understood as designation of the type species by monotypy (KERZHNER 2001).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L. (2013): Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae). Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 53 (2): 505-584, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5739959
03B66912FFBB046BFE99FE2CFC04F9EE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Body rather large, relatively narrow. Labium reaching between metacoxae. Antennomere 1 shorter than antennomere 2, much shorter than length of pronotum. Sexual dimorphism markedly developed. Callar lobe strongly gibbose in males, only slightly gibbose in females. Profemora strongly incrassate in males, ventrally provided with a longitudinal furrow along its entire length, bordered with a number of spines on both sides of the furrow (Figs 19, 98). Profemora distinctly more slender in females, with fewer spines. Protibia of males with a row of small denticles along its entire length but without any strong tooth ventrally near the apex. In females protibia unarmed. The presence or absence of the longitudinal furrow and small denticles on the meso- and metafemora vary among the species of this subgenus. The small denticles as well as the longitudinal furrow may be present on the ventral surface of the mesofemora but missing on the metafemora, or be present on both the meso- and metafemora; in males, more rarely also in females, the denticles could be very small, or may be completely missing. There are also differences between allometric males with strongly expressed sexual characters and less developed specimens. In Physopelta slanbuschii (Fabricius, 1803), the meso- and metafemora lack any longitudinal furrow and denticles. In allometric males of Ph. trimaculata Stehlík & Jindra, 2008 with pronounced sexual characters, the tibiae are curved. A stridulatory organ occurs in the form of a tooth on the ventral surface of the procoxa (strigil), and a flat, wrinkled area of cuticule on the protrochanter (plectrum) (Figs 17 − 18). The peritreme of the metathoracic scent glands is roughly horizontal, ca. scimitar-shaped, with a rounded apex, from the ostiole directed posterolaterad (Figs 20, 22). The paramere with its apex shorter and wider and its outer margin basally without angulate process (Figs 30 − 34).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFBB046BFE99FE2CFC04F9EE.taxon	discussion	Comment. Neophysopelta Ahmad & Abbas, 1987 was established by AHMAD & ABBAS (1987) as a genus to accommodate a single species, Physopelta slanbuschii, distinguishing it from all the remaining Physopelta species. AHMAD & ABBAS (1987) distinguished Neophysopelta from Physopelta by the following characters: body bright red; covered with more silvery hairs and long black stiff hairs; antennomere 1 subequal to length of head; spermatheca with a long duct having many coils; paramere with middle dorsal lobe slightly above the middle portion. Physopelta was characterized: dull reddish ochraceous body covered with less silvery hairs and without long black stiff hairs; antennomere 1 distinctly longer than length of head; spermatheca with a short duct; and paramere with middle dorsal lobe more towards the proximal end (AHMAD & ABBAS 1987). STEHLÍK & KERZHNER (1999) pointed out that all characters used for distinguishing Neophysopelta from Physopelta are variable within the genus, and therefore considered Neophysopelta as a junior subjective synonym of Physopelta. However, as Neophysopelta Ahmad & Abbas, 1987 is an available generic name for the clade of Physopelta which includes Ph. slanbuschii, it is redefined and restituted as a valid subgenus in the present paper. Included species. The subgenus Neophysopelta in its revised sense includes 20 described species and two subspecies distributed in the East Palaearctic, Oriental, and Australian Regions from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Japan to New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and northern Australia. However, there are several undescribed species from New Guinea and surrounding islands available in collections.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

Old records of Physopelta albofasciata from China, Japan, and Taiwan refer either to Ph. cincticollis or to Ph. parviceps (LIU 1981, KERZHNER 2001). Records of Ph. cincticollis from Japan (e. g. ,, SCOTT 1874, 1880; MANNA et al. 1985; TOMOKUNI 1989; MIYAMOTO 1970; ISHIHARA et al. 1974; KOHNO et al. 2002) and Taiwan (e. g., ESAKI 1926, MIYAMOTO 1965) were previously referred to as Ph. parviceps (STEHLÍK & KERZHNER 1999, KERZHNER 2001, RÉDEI et al. 2009). However, in this paper the distribution of Ph. cincticollis in Japan (Kyushu) and Taiwan is confirmed, which suggests that some of the previous records may be correct. WALKER (1873: 20) described also two unnamed varieties of Ph. cincticollis from localities Batchian [= Baccan Islands] in Moluccas and Sulu [Archipelago] in the Philippines. These records definitely belong to other species.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L. (2013): Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae).

Comparing the types of Ph. trimaculata with the original description of Ph. confusa by ZAMAL & CHOPRA (1990), the two species are very similar, sharing the the presence of two black spots in the middle of the corium, a larger inner one and a smaller outer one. Physopelta confusa apparently differs in the absence of the black spot in the posterior angle of the corium, a feature not mentioned by ZAMAL & CHOPRA (1990), and the general body colouration (fusco-testaceous in Ph. confusa, reddish in Ph. trimaculata). Body length of Ph. confusa is 14.1 – 14.5 mm (ZAMAL & CHOPRA 1990) which is within the variation of Ph. trimaculata (13.2 – 15.7 mm) (STEHLÍK & JINDRA 2008 a). Without examination of the type material of Ph. confusa it is not possible to decide whether the two species represent only colour varieties of a single species, or represent two distinct species.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFA20472FEF4FB1CFC1CFDC9.taxon	description	Description. Colouration (Figs 35 – 37). The following body parts are black: antennae (except ca. basal third of antennomere 4), a large spot on vertex reaching up to basal 2 / 3 of clypeus, pronotum (except anterior, posterior, and lateral margins including margins of callar and pronotal lobes), scutellum, a large round central spot on corium, a large triangular spot on apex of corium, membrane, labium, pleura, profemora dorsally, entire meso- and metafemora, all tibiae and tarsomeres, and crescent-shaped spots on bases of abdominal sternites. Head (except spot on vertex) red. Antennomere 4 basally whitish. Anterior, posterior, and lateral margins of pronotum (including margins of callar and pronotal lobe), pronotal epipleuron, posterior pleural flanges I – III reddish. Costal margin and surface of corium between central and apical spot whitish-orange. Clavus and base of corium anteriad of central spot darkened. Posterior margin of membrane whitish. Abdominal sternites pale orange. Black crescent-shaped lateral spots on bases of abdominal sternites as follows: on sternite II narrow and long, on sternites III – VI shorter, medially rather wide, on sternite V surpassing narrowly on posterior margin of sternite IV, on sternite VII only an indistinct spot (see Fig. 37). Pilosity. Pronotum, thoracic pleura, clavus, and corium covered with silvery pubescence, so dense on pleura that they appear grey. Scutellum posteriorly with black erect hairs. Punctation. Posterior pronotal lobe, scutellum, clavus, and corium with small, dense punctures, obsolete in posterior portion of corium. Structure. Body elongate, parallel-sided. Callar lobe distinctly gibbose in male, slightly gibbose in female. Labium reaching between metacoxae. Profemora apically on ventral surface with two remote teeth and row of small denticles. Mesofemora on ventral surface with small denticles in male, unarmed in female. Metafemora without denticles. Measurements (in mm). Males (holotype / paratype). Body length: 12.69 / 14.53; head: width (including eyes) 1.94 / 2.00, interocular width 1.08 / 1.13; lengths of antennomeres: 1 – 2.05 / 2.05, 2 – 2.21 / 2.37, 3 – 1.51 / 1.57, 4 – 2.97 / absent; pronotum: length 2.67 / 2.81, width 3.56 / 3.73; scutellum: length 1.89 / 1.94, width 2.00 / 1.67; corium: length 6.64 / 6.26, width 1.78 / 2.00. Females (n = 3). Body length: 12.51 (12.26 – 12.96); head: width (including eyes) 2.02 (1.97 – 2.05), interocular width 1.15 (1.08 – 1.24); lengths of antennomeres: 1 – 1.91 (1.89 – 1.94), 2 – 2.20 (2.11 – 2.27), 3 – 1.46 (1.40 – 1.51), 4 – 2.40 (2.38 – 2.43); pronotum: length 2.49 (2.38 – 2.54), width 3.65 (3.56 – 3.78); scutellum: length 1.82 (1.78 – 1.89), width 1.98 (1.94 – 2.05); corium: length 6.99 (6.43 – 7.39), width 2.02 (2.00 – 2.05).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFA20472FEF4FB1CFC1CFDC9.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The general habitus of Ph. dembickyi sp. nov. is very similar to that of Ph. gutta gutta, but the new species is smaller and more slender. For comparison, measurements of males and females of Ph. gutta gutta are given (in mm): Males (n = 5). Body length: 14.18 (12.42 – 16.63); width (including eyes) 2.15 (2.00 – 2.32), interocular width 1.18 (1.08 – 1.30); lengths of antennomeres: 1 – 2.56 (2.27 – 2.97), 2 – 2.75 (2.43 – 4.10), 3 – 1.72 (1.54 – 1.94), 4 – 2.95 (2.70 – 3.24); pronotum: length 3.26 (2.43 – 4.10), width 4.35 (3.78 – 5.05); scutellum: length 2.12 (1.84 – 2.48); width 2.37 (2.11 – 2.17); corium: length 7.79 (6.97 – 9.13), width 2.25 (1.94 – 2.59). Females (n = 5). Body length: 14.40 (12.80 – 15.01); width (including eyes) 2.21 (2.16 – 2.32), interocular width 1.24 (1.19 – 1.35); lengths of antennomeres: 1 – 2.21 (2.00 – 2.38), 2 – 2.56 (2.38 – 2.70), 3 – 1.49 (1.21 – 1.73), 4 – 2.86 (2.70 – 3.13); pronotum: length 2.81 (2.38 – 3.08), width 4.40 (3.94 – 4.81); scutellum: length 2.00 (1.89 – 2.11); width 2.30 (2.16 – 2.43); corium: length 7.66 (6.86 – 8.45), width 2.27 (2.05 – 2.48). The new species also resembles Ph. cincticollis, although the body of Ph. cincticollis is shorter and wider; both species are easily distinguished by the colouration of the abdominal sternites, which are black in Ph. cincticollis, and pale orange with black crescent-shaped spots laterally in Ph. dembickyi sp. nov. Also, Ph. indra resembles the new species by its size and similar colouration of abdominal sternites, but it differs by its pale scutellum (not black), smaller central black spot on the corium, base of the corium anteriad of the central spot not darkened, and having all femora orange.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FFAD0479FEBAFD5CFDF9FB87.taxon	discussion	Comment. Physopelta woodlarkiana (Montrouzier, 1855) was considered as conspecific with Ph. gutta famelica since LETHIERRY & SEVERIN (1894). Because the identity of Ph. woodlarkiana was somewhat doubtful (cf. HUSSEY 1929), most authors used the junior name Ph. gutta famelica as valid. Physopelta woodlarkiana in fact represents a distinct species and it is reinstated in the present paper (see below).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

Head, antennae (except ca. basal half of antennomere 4), callar lobe (except lateral margins), pronotal lobe, central and apical spot on corium, membrane, labium, thoracic sterna, legs, and abdominal sternites black. Lateral margins of pronotum, callar lobe laterally, posteriorly, and medially, posterior pronotal margin, scutellum, clavus, corium, pronotal epipleuron, and ventral and dorsal laterotergites, orange. Basal half of antennomere 4 whitish. Black central spot on corium smaller, situated between cubitus and media; posterior spot oval, not prolonged to apex of corium. Pilosity. Body dorsally, sternites, and tibiae covered with silvery pubescence. Tibiae in both sexes with semierect black spines. Punctation. Callar lobe laterally emarginated with black punctures; entire disc of pronotal lobe with dense, very distinct black punctures; punctures on scutellum less distinct, developed on entire surface of clavus and on corium (except its costal margin). Structure. Pronotum sexually dimorphic: in male callar lobe strongly gibbose with lateral margins not insinuated medially; in female callar lobe weekly gibbose with lateral margins slightly insinuated medially and distinctly widening posteriorly (Fig. 39). Labium reaching mesocoxae. Male profemora ventrally with longitudinal furrow developed along its entire length, on ventral margin of the furrow with 8 remote teeth, on dorsal margin apically with three small denticles, one large tooth, and close to it another very large, curved, and apically indented tooth. Male protibiae in apical two-thirds with distinct denticles on ventral surface. Meso- and metafemora in male ventrally with a row of small denticles along their entire length. Females with teeth on profemora reduced compared to male, ventral margin of longitudinal furrow only with very small denticles, on dorsal margin with two large and somewhat remote straight teeth, the more apical one being larger. Protibiae, meso- and metafemora of females ventrally without denticles. Measurements (in mm). Male (holotype).

03B66912FF920440FE1CFE5CFDD8FC49.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Physopelta redeii sp. nov. most resembles Ph. kotheae distributed in Sumatra and Java. However, Ph. kotheae is smaller (♂♂ 12.80 – 14.84 mm, ♀♀ 13.55 – 14.63 mm) than the new species, its antennomeres are shorter, lateral margin of pronotum is narrower, callar lobe is distinctly gibbose in both sexes, meso- and metafemora are ventrally provided with a series of denticles in both sexes, lateral margins of pronotum and costal margins of corium are whitish, black central spot on corium is larger (laterally reaching nearly to costal margin), approaching the apical black spot, and body is dorsally covered by erect black hairs. In contrast, Ph. redeii sp. nov. is larger (♂ 15.28 mm, ♀♀ 15.07 – 15.12 mm), its antennomeres are longer, lateral margin of pronotum is wider, callar lobe is sexually dimorphic (only slightly gibbose in female), meso- and metafemora are provided ventrally with a series of denticles only in males but unarmed in females, lateral margins of pronotum and costal margins of corium are orange, black central spot on corium is smaller, more remote from the apical black spot, and body is dorsally covered by silvery pubescence. In colouration the new species resembles Jindraia dimorphica, but differs from the latter species by the characters given in the key to genera (see above).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF90044DFEC9FCB3FC77FC46.taxon	discussion	Comment. PERVEEN & AHMAD (1991) distinguished Neophysopelta neoschlanbuschii from Ph. slanbuschii based on the following characters: ‘ Size of black discal spot on corium larger, pronotal width distinctly less than 2 × its length; in male ventroposterior margin of pygophore slightly sinuate, lateral lobes of paramere comparatively broader, in female spermathecal duct with more number of coils’, whereas in Ph. slanbuschii: ‘ Size of black discal spot on corium smaller, pronotal width slightly less than 2 × its length; in male ventroposterior margin of pygophore truncate, lateral lobe of paramere narrower, in female spermathecal duct with less number of coils’. I had possibility to examine several specimens of Ph. slanbuschii evidently belonging to the same series (NMPC, see Material examined) as the holotype and two male paratypes of N. neoschlanbuschii. The specimens represent Ph. slanbuschii without doubt. It is obvious that diagnostic characters listed by PERVEEN & AHMAD (1991) for Neophysopelta neoschlanbuschii fit to the considerable intraspecific variability of Ph. slanbuschii, particularly the size of the central spot on the corium. Therefore, Neophysopelta neoschlanbuschii Perveen & Ahmad, 1991 is here considered a junior synonym of Ph. slanbuschii.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF9F0449FF35FA40FC41FCA9.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Physopelta woodlarkiana differs from the sympatric Ph. gutta famelica by the black abdominal sternite VII (Fig. 47) (reddish in Ph. gutta famelica). Physopelta woodlarkiana differs from the remaining species of Neophysopelta with its black sternite VII (Ph. melanopyga, Ph. nigripes sp. nov., Ph. sulawesiensis sp. nov) by the strongly incrassate basal portion of profemur with longitudinal furrow developed only in its apical portion. From Ph. melanopyga it further differs by ventrites III− VI being red (Fig. 47) (in Ph. melanopyga ventrites III− VI have black spots laterally). In Ph. woodlarkiana the femora are black in both sexes, whereas in Ph. sulawesiensis sp. nov. the femora are red in both sexes except for the black dorsal side of the profemora in males.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF9F0449FF35FA40FC41FCA9.taxon	discussion	Comment. LETHIERRY & SEVERIN (1894: 241) listed ‘? woodlarkiana ’ as a supposed synonym of Ph. famelica, followed by KIRKALDY (1905). HUSSEY (1929) listed Lygaeus woodlarkianus in synonymy with Ph. gutta famelica, but remarked: ‘ This species? ’. MONTROUZIER (1855) provided only a brief description of the species; however, he explicitly mentioned that the abdomen of Lygaeus woodlarkianus is red with a black apex, a character which does not fit Ph. gutta famelica. Recent examination of material from the type localiy (Woodlark Island) revealed the presence of two species, Ph. gutta famelica and another Physopelta (Neophysopelta) species with colouration pattern perfectly fitting the original description by MONTROUZIER (1855). I tried to locate the type material of Lygaeus woodlarkianus. Part of Montrouzier’s collection was destroyed; the surviving Heteroptera specimens arrived via B. P. Perroud sen. and Perroud jr. to H. Schouteden (HORN et al. 1990: 269) and are currently deposited in ISNB (J. Constant, pers. comm.). However, no type specimen of L. woodlarkianus is currently present in ISNB (J. Constant, pers. comm.), and the type material is therefore considered lost. Because the identity of L. woodlarkianus cannot be ascertained from the original description without doubt, I hereby designate a neotype to clarify the identity of the species.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

Physopeltoides subgen. nov. and Neophysopelta share the following characters, suggesting a possible sister relationship of both taxa: i) antennomere 1 shorter than antennomere 2; ii) profemora incrassate; iii) meso- and metafemora ventrally with longitudinal furrow of small denticles. However, in Physopeltoides subgen. nov. the characters ii) and iii) occur in both sexes, whereas in Neophysopelta these are developed only in males. Afrophysopelta subgen. nov. differs from Physopeltoides subgen. nov. In its profemora not incrassate and meso- and metafemora ventrally unarmed. On the other hand, Afrophysopelta subgen. nov. and Physopeltoides subgen. nov. share the same shape of peritreme and paramere.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF9B0454FEE8FEFDFD13F9C8.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Physopelta (Physopeltoides) dentipes sp. nov. is very similar to Ph. (Afrophysopelta) melanoptera Distant, 1904 externally, and it was confused with the latter species until the present study. The black central spot on the corium of Ph. dentipes sp. nov. is more elongate towards the apex of the corium (see Figs 60 − 61 versus 62 − 63) and it is also slightly larger than Ph. melanoptera (see measurements under that species). However, both species clearly differ in the characters used for defining the two subgenera (see the key above).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF840451FEE8FCD5FC64FD29.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. According to LESTON (1969), it is a common species in food- and cocoa-farms in Ghana, widespread within the forest zone and occasionally very abundant. Most localities may be defined as farmbush, which includes the edges of farms, early fallow after food-farming operation, and the more mature regeneration stage usually styled secondary forest. However, it was also collected in the coastal shrub belt in Ghana (LESTON 1969). GOLDING (1927) reported adults of Ph. analis from Ibadan, Nigeria, feeding on fruits of Mallotus oppositifolius (Euphorbiaceae) in July – September, with larvae being observed in September. Also in Ghana, the species is often abundant on Mallotus oppositifolius, where the larvae and adults feed on the small green trilobed fruits, their warning coloration making them easily spotted. LESTON (1969) noted the common co-occurrence of Ph. analis with Ph. melanoptera and Kmentia festiva, all three species exploiting the same parts of the same host plant at the same time. In Ghana, adults of Ph. analis have been captured in every month of the year, but numbers vary greatly (LESTON 1969, GIBBS & LESTON 1970). SOUTHWOOD (1961) recorded Ph. analis from an ultra-violet light trap at Tafo, Ghana, operated in March and April. According to LESTON (1969), adults mate in Ghana at least between early March and mid-April (and perhaps from January on); the new generation is responsible for the light-trap peak, suggesting largescale movement of the new adults. Larvae are seldomly seen after the end of May (LESTON 1969, GIBBS & LESTON 1970). The adults probably survive until about next March. Although the species is probably mainly diurnal, night feeding was observed in mid-April. Arrivals to lights take place between 19.00 hour and midnight. The warning colouration pattern is efficient so far as large feeding aggregations occur (LESTON 1969). The flight activity and its relationship with development of internal female reproductive organs was studies in Ivory Coast by DUVIARD (1975).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF82045FFEC4FB20FE43F9ED.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. According to LESTON (1969), this is a common species in food- and cocoa-farms in Ghana, widespread within the forest zone and occasionally very abundant. Most localities may be defined as farmbush, which includes the edges of farms, early fallow after foodfarming operation, and the more mature regeneration stage usually styled secondary forest. However, it was also collected in the coastal shrub belt in Ghana (LESTON 1969). In Ghana, the species is often found on Mallotus oppositifolius (though not so abundant as Ph. analis and K. festiva, so another host plant was expected by Leston), where the larvae and adults feed on the fruits, their warning coloration making them easily spotted. LESTON (1969) noted the common co-occurrence of Ph. melanoptera with Ph. analis and Kmentia festiva, all the three species exploiting the same parts of the same host plant at the same time. According to LESTON (1969), in Ghana the adults of Ph. melanoptera have been captured in every month of the year, but numbers vary greatly. There are probably other generations of this species, perhaps incipient ones, around October to December: the adults mate between February and April. The species is probably mainly diurnal. Arrivals to lights take place between 19.00 hours and midnight. The warning colouration pattern is efficient in so far as large feeding aggregations occur (LESTON 1969). The flight activity and its relationship with development of internal female reproductive organs was studied in Ivory Coast by DUVIARD (1975).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

Physopelta flavofemoralis sp. nov. differs from the most similar congeners (Ph. madecassa and Ph. melanoptera) in its larger extent of the red colouration dorsally. Physopelta melanoptera and Ph. madecassa differ in having the head, antennomere 1 and base of the antennomere 2, labium, pronotum (except lateral and posterior margin), clavus, femora, tibiae, and abdominal sterna, all black. In Ph. madecassa also the sternites are black. Physopelta rufialata differs by absence of black spot on corium.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF8A0459FE41FC7EFEC8FA8C.taxon	discussion	Comment. Examination of three syntypes of Physopelta apicalis Walker, 1873 deposited in BMNH revealed that this species shares a combination of characters placing it rather near the genus Iphita Stål, 1870, but also some unique characters (especially the forked process on procoxa) supporting its placement in a separate genus yet to be described (STEHLÍK & KMENT in press).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF8A0458FD87FABFFD52FCEE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Labium reaching between mesocoxae. Callar lobe weakly gibbose in both sexes. Ventral surface of profemora in both sexes with only a short longitudinal furrow limited to its apical third; basal two-thirds medially convex with numerous denticles on its entire surface (Figs 83, 97). Protibia in both sexes unarmed (Figs 95 − 96). Parameres horizontally positioned, their apices approaching and standing opposite each other (Fig. 85), bent dorsally in their apical portion, apex hook-shaped, pointed dorsally (Figs 85, 87), distinctly surpassing ventral rim of pygophore (see in lateral view − Fig. 88). Differential diagnosis. The tribe Kmentiini trib. nov. Belongs in the subfamily Physopeltinae, sharing its important synapomorphy – the intersegmental sulci between abdominal sternites deeply sinuated (S-shaped). It differs from the nominotypical tribe Physopeltini in the characters listed above, especially in the structure of profemora and male genitalia.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L. (2013): Review and reclassification of the Old World genus Physopelta (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Largidae). Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 53 (2): 505-584, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5739959
03B66912FF8A0458FD87FABFFD52FCEE.taxon	discussion	Genus included. The tribe is currently monotypical, including only Kmentia gen. nov. Discussion. The West African Physopelta festiva (Fabricius, 1803) is excluded from Physopelta based on a number of differences in its external morphology and structure of genitalia. It is interesting that some of these characters resemble the New World subfamily Larginae, especially in the structure of the profemora (lacking the longitudinal furrow ventrally) and parameres. Although the parameres of all the remaining Physopeltinae are apically obtuse, directed skewed towards the center of the pygophore, and do not surpass the ventral rim; the parameres in Physopelta festiva are long, parallel, surpass the ventral rim, and have hookshaped apices, which is characteristic for Larginae. In addition, the flat callar lobe of both sexes distinguishes Ph. festiva from all the remaining Physopelta species. Considering the differences between Ph. festiva and the remaining Physopeltinae taxa, I establish a new tribe, Kmentiini trib. nov., and a new genus, Kmentia gen. nov.	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

Antennae in both sexes long, always longer than pronotum, sometimes even longer than combined length of head and pronotum; antennomere 1 longer than antennomere 2 (Figs 93 − 94); there is great variability in length of antennae among specimens. As an example, the length of antennomeres of three large and three small males are given here: Large males (mm): 1 – 7.13, 6.59, 6.43; 2 – 6.32, 6.05, 5.56; 3 – 3.35, 3.19, 2.11; 4 – 3.89, 3.62, 3.59; small males (mm): 1 – 4.27, 4.86, 4.8 l; 2 – 3.89, 4.32, 4.37; 3 – 2.11, 2.32, 2.38; 4 – 3.19, 3.24, 3.08. Callar lobe only slightly gibbose, without sexual differences (Figs 93 − 94). Labium reaching between mesocoxae. Profemora sexually dimorphic; in females more slender, with smaller number of small denticles; in small males profemora similar to those of females (Figs 93 − 94). Ventral surface of profemora with short longitudinal furrow limited to its apical third; basal two-thirds medially convex with numerous denticles on the entire surface (Figs 83, 97). Protibiae ventrally unarmed (Figs 95 − 96). Peritreme of metathoracic scent glands longitudinal, crescent-shaped, projecting both anteriad and posteriad (Fig. 84). Pygophore (Figs 85 − 88). Ventral rim slightly concave, rounded; lateral rim more elevated than ventral rim, strongly rounded, descending towards dorsal rim. Lateral rim infolding only slightly sloping into the genital chamber; anal tube wide, long, reaching middle of genital chambre (Fig. 86). Parameres (Figs 89 − 92). Parameres horizontal, their apices approaching and standing opposite each other, their apical portions bent dorsally, apex hook-shaped, pointed (Figs 91 − 92), distinctly surpassing ventral rim of pygophore (see in lateral view − Fig. 88).

03B66912FF8B045BFE7CFC9DFF7CF98E.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Kmentia gen. nov. belongs to Physopeltinae because of the strongly S-shaped intersegmental sulci between the abdominal sternites. It differs in several characters from the other genera of the subfamily, warranting its placement in a tribe of its own – Kmentiini trib. nov.: labium reaching between mesocoxae; callar lobe weakly gibbose in both sexes; ventral surface of profemora in both sexes with only short longitudinal furrow limited to its apical third, basal two-thirds medially convex with numerous denticles on the entire surface; protibia in both sexes unarmed; and structure of the male genitalia (parameres horizontally positioned, their apices approaching and standing opposite each other (Fig. 85), bent dorsally in their apical portion, apex hook-shaped, pointed dorsally (Figs 85, 87), distinctly surpassing ventral rim of pygophore (see in lateral view − Fig. 88).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.

03B66912FF890421FED6FF1CFB96FE6E.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. According to LESTON (1969), it is a common species of food- and cocoa-farms in Ghana, being widespread within the forest zone and occasionally very abundant. Most localities may be defined as farmbush, which includes the edges of farms, early fallow after food-farming operation, and the more mature regeneration stage usually styled secondary forest. However, it was also collected in the coastal shrub belt and even dry coastal grassland in Ghana (LESTON 1969). According to MAYNÉ & GHESQUIÈRE (1934), the species is common at Mayumbe (Democratic Republic of Congo) in fields of sweet potatos, less frequently in cotton fields. GOLDING (1927) reported adults feeding on fruits of Mallotus oppositifolius (Euphorbiaceae) at Ibadan, Nigeria, in October (larvae were not observed). The species is often abundant on the same host plant in Ghana too, where the larvae and adults feed on the small green fruits, their warning coloration making them easily spotted. However, according to MAYNÉ & GHESQUIÈRE (1934), the species is zoophytophagous (in original as régime mixte), attacking various Hemiptera. AULMANN (1912) collected it frequently together with species of the genus Dysdercus Guérin-Méneville, 1831 (Pyrrhocoridae). LESTON (1969) noted the common co-occurrence of K. festiva with Ph. analis and Ph. melanoptera, all three species exploiting the same parts of the same host plant at the same time. In Ghana, adults of K. festiva have been captured in every month of the year, but abundance varies greatly (LESTON 1969). SOUTHWOOD (1961) recorded K. festiva from an ultra-violet light trap at Tafo, Ghana, operated in March and April. According to LESTON (1969), adults mate in Ghana at least between early March and mid-April (and perhaps from January on); the new generation is responsible for the light trap peak: this suggest large-scale movement of the new adults (LESTON 1969, GIBBS & LESTON 1970). Larvae are seldomly seen after the end of May. The adults probably survive until about next March, and they are probably mainly diurnal in habits. Arrivals to light take place between 19.00 hours and midnight. The warning colouration pattern is efficient in so far as large feeding aggregations occur, but K. festiva is preyed upon by a large, green mantid species, Sphodromantis lineola (Burmeister, 1838) (LESTON 1969). The flight activity and its relationship with development of internal female reproductive organs was studies in Ivory Coast by DUVIARD (1975).	en	Stehlík, Jaroslav L.
