03E7B16CFFE333093195D9DDFB7010B0.taxon	description	Description. Colouration. Head mostly black (except of D. vinulus vinulus Stål, 1863 with anterior part of head red, and D. stysi Stehlík & Jindra, 2008 with entire head bright red). Pronotum black, pronotal margins often creamy white, in two species posterior pronotal margin with two yellow spots medially. Anterior part of hemelytra black, posterior part usually red (in D. talaudensis Stehlík & Jindra, 2006 entire clavus and corium red), less frequently posterior part of hemelytra whitish. Pleura I – III ventrally black; prosternal collar, posterior pleural flanges I – III, and epicoxal lobes usually yellowish white. Abdomen ventrally red. Punctation prominent only on pronotal lobe, its intensity differing among species; clavus and corium with dense fine punctation; sternum without punctures. Structure. Eyes protruding, quite remote from anterior pronotal margin and distinctly surpassing it laterally. Posterior part of head never markedly elongated. Anterior portion of pronotum narrowed. Lateral pronotal margin rather wide, elevated dorsally, distinctly concave at level of median furrow. Callar lobe gibbous, without anteromedian protuberances (in D. vinulus with median furrow indicated only medially). Pronotal lobe gibbous towards base. Costal margin of hemelytra somewhat insinuated behind base, rather wide in the rest of its length. Mesoscutum depressed, scutellum markedly gibbous. Pygophore. Ventral rim always with two median processes of variable shape: flat, with inner side concave, or in form of a blunted cone. Other parts of ventral and lateral rim rounded, straight. Ventral rim infolding wide, only slightly sloping into genital chamber, continually merging into dish-shaped lateral rim infolding; lower margin of lateral rim infolding elevated dorsally just behind the transition of ventral rim infolding and forming a projection. Anal tube rather long. Parameres small, never crossed (e. g., Figs. 8, 10 – 11). Processi hamati of parameres acicular, sometimes positioned horizontally against each other and considerably distant, or processi hamati somewhat elevated dorsally and distant or approached, respectively. In D. (P.) limbaticollis Breddin, 1901, processus hamatus is completely missing and the short paramere body is visible only in lateral corners of genital chamber (near ventral rim infolding). Phallus (detailed description: D. a. albicornis — Fig. 1, in remaining examined species the phallus is similar). Vesica short, strongly sclerotized, basally and subapically thickened, medially attenuated, apex of vesica in lateral view strongly narrowed, slightly curved, secondary gonopore horizontally positioned (Fig. 2). Conjunctival processes 1 parallel on both sides of vesica, basally attenuated, its lateral margin medially convex, apex attenuated, blunt, strongly sclerotized, black, ca. reaching height of vesica. Conjunctival processes 2 originating near base of vesica, directed laterad, basally weakly sclerotized, slender, slightly thickened medially, apically narrowed and curved ventrally. Two short, robust, conical, apically rounded, more sclerotized, and blackened projections situated near base of vesica between conjunctival processes 2. Conjunctival processes 3 originating laterally on conjunctiva, very wide, strongly narrowing towards apex, apex blunt, anterior part and apex well-sclerotized. Hind wall of conjunctiva behind vesica with large semicircular conjunctival collar (Fig. 3), its margins strongly sclerotized, with pair of large, strongly sclerotized, posteriorly curved, blunt projections situated in their lateral thirds. Basal part of conjunctiva simple. Outer female genitalia rather uniform with only slight interspecific variability. Both sides of valvifer I arcuatelly gaping open near base, their margin markedly depressed in the place of gaping in all included species. Valvifer II medially connate, flat, not very long, with two differently shaped protuberances. Anal tube short, embraced by laterotergite IX.	en	Stehlík, L.

03E7B16CFFE333093195D9DDFB7010B0.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Pseudodindymus subgen. nov. is defined especially by the ventral rim of the pygophore always with two median processes, and parameres never crossing each other (Fig. 12, white arrow). The phallus of the Pseudodindymus subgen. nov. is markedly smaller and differs from the nominotypical subgenus in the following characters: i) conjunctival process 1 short, not surpassing vesica, not sharply pointed (Fig. 1); ii) conjunctival process 2 shorter, apically strongly curved, not originating from the base of the conjunctival process 1; iii) conjunctival process 4 not developed, replaced by semi-circular conjunctival collar (Fig. 3); and iv) lacking conjunctival process 5 in basal part of conjunctiva. In Dindymus s. str. i) the conjunctival process 1 is long, markedly surpassing vesica, sharply pointed (Fig. 4); ii) conjunctival process 2 originating from base of the conjunctival process 1, longer, apically straight; iii) conjunctival processes 4 and 5 well developed. Phalli of all the species included in the Pseudodindymus subgen. nov. are very similar, supporting the monophyly of this taxon, while in species-rich Dindymus s. str. some small modifications exist. For detailed description of the phallus of Dindymus s. str. see below.	en	Stehlík, L.

03E7B16CFFE1330D3195D81FFF7D1258.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. For distinguishing characters from D. pulcher see below. Bionomy. Found in primary forests, as well as park and Damar garden. It was twice collected on tree trunks, one of Lansium domesticum (Meliaceae). Mating was observed in August (Sabah), October (West Sumatra), and November (Sarawak). Distant (1903) wrote: ‘ This species is not uncommon in August and September on the trunks of trees in the jungle on Bukit Besar (2,500 ft). The very young larvae have something of resemblance to small specimens of the ant Oecophylla smaragdina, while the adults might be mistaken at a casual glance for newly-hatched larvae of the mantis Hymenopus bicornis, though they are not generally found in the same situations. ’	en	Stehlík, L.

Fabricius (1803) described this species from China, but it has never been found in China afterwards, so the type locality seems to be given in error (see Kerzhner 2001); I agree with this statement. Distant (1904) reported this species also from Borneo [= Kalimantan], which is confirmed here (records from Sarawak and Sabah). On the other hand, records from Philippines (e. g., Walker 1873, Distant 1904, Schmidt 1932) clearly concerns other species, especially D. pulcher.	en	Stehlík, L.

Bionomy. Dindymus pulcher is one of the very few Dindymus species whose bionomy was studied in detail (see review by Jackson & Barrion (2004 )). Dindymus pulcher is a rainforest bug that forages on the ground, on tree trunks, and among vegetation; it was collected at the forest edge, along road cuts and in clearings where trees are spaced widely apart. Both adults and larvae of D. pulcher prey on various invertebrates – snails and snail eggs (Gastropoda) (32 %), Coleoptera adults (23 %), adults and larvae of Hemiptera (18 %), Lepidoptera larvae (9 %), Isoptera (4 %), Lepidoptera adults and pupae, Coleoptera larvae and pupae, Blattodea larvae, spider eggs (Araneida), leeches (Hirudinea), and woodlice (Isopoda). To feed on snails, D. pulcher kill them by piercing through the shell. It passes five (occasionally six) larval instars. The males have shorter longevity than females. Two species of Antilochus Stål, 1863 were observed to prey on D. pulcher (Barrion & Jackson 2000; Jackson & Barrion 2002, 2004).	en	Stehlík, L.

Philippines: Luzon (Stål 1863, Taeuber 1927, Blöte 1931, Schmidt 1932); Bohol (Taeuber 1927), Masbate (Taeuber 1927), Panay (new record). Note. Blöte (1931) downgraded D. pulcher to a variety of D. albicornis. This synonymy was accpted by Schmidt (1932) and Kerzhner (2001). However, Barrion & Jackson (2000) and Jackson & Barrion (2002, 2004), being not aware of the paper by Blöte (1931), still treated D. pulcher as valid species. Based on the characters listed above, I reinstitute here D. pulcher as a valid species.	en	Stehlík, L.

Pronotal collar, a band on base of pronotal lobe (not reaching its posterolateral corners), prosternal collar, posterior pleural flange I – III yellow. In the specimens from Sandakan epicoxal lobes yellow, whereas in specimens from Kudat only anterior halves of epicoxal lobes I and II, and entire epicoxal lobes III, pale yellow. Entire pronotal epipleuron and the adjacent part of posterior pleural flange I narrowly black or blackish brown. Antennomeres 1 and 2 pale, apex of antennomere 2 blackish; antennomere 3 black; antennomere 4 whitish with ca. apical fifth blackish. Legs honey yellow, tarsomeres 2 and 3 blackish. Scutellum, clavus (except of apex), and corium up to level of dark colouration on clavus black. Remaining parts of corium in specimens from Kudat yellowish white with orange or red tinge; in specimens from Sandakan red. Membrane smoky grey, nervature concolorous. Abdominal ventrits and external genitalia red. Punctation on pronotal lobe very prominent and rather dense so the pronotal surface scabrous. Clavus and corium, including costal margin, with distinct punctation, only in posterior part of corium punctation less prominent. Structure. Body relativelly small. Head compared with basal width of pronotum rather large. Pronotal collar narrow; lateral pronotal margin narrow, at the level od median furrow markedly concave; pronotal lobe behind median furrow distinctly widening in male, while only slightly widening in female. Pygophore (Fig. 10). Ventral part of ventral wall strongly gibbous. Ventral rim medially nearly horizontal and strongly produced posteriorly, bifid; both parts of median projection concave on inner side. Ventral rim continually merging into ventral rim infolding. Lateral rim infolding dish-shaped, its inner edge strongly elevated upwards with convex spot. Processi hamati of parameres acicular, slightly raised upwards against each other, apices touching each other. External female genitalia. Valvifer I in lateral view more strongly gibbous compared with ventrit VII; both parts of valvifer I ca. in basal half of genitalia parallel (only in a small spot at very base ajar). Inner margin of valvifer I roundly merging into dorsal margin, which is nearly horizontal; this part of valvifer I flat, somewhat depressed inwards. Tergit IX embracing short anal tube; laterotergit IX not high, with nearly horizontal furrow. Valvifer II hardly visible, medially with two small protuberances.

Body length 9.09 (8.48 – 9.67); head: width (including eyes) 1.85 (1.78 – 1.94), interocular width 0.93 (0.86 – 0.97); lengths of antennomeres: 1 – 2.04 (1.94 – 2.11), 2 – 1.34 (1.24 – 1.43), 3 – 1.22 (1.13 – 1.35), 4 – 2.19 (2.00 – 2.90); pronotum: total length 1.79 (1.67 – 1.89), collar length 0.33 (0.32 – 0.38), callar lobe length 0.40 (0.32 – 0.49), pronotal lobe length 1.07 (1.03 – 1.13), width 2.47 (2.29 – 2.67); scutellum: length 1.05 (0.97 – 1.19), width 1.18 (1.13 – 1.24); corium: length 4.42 (4.05 – 4.91), width 1.45 (1.35 – 1.51). Females (n = 6). Body length 10.90 (10.10 – 11.18); head: width (including eyes) 2.06 (1.97 – 2.11), interocular width 1.10 (1.08 – 1.24); lengths of antennomeres: 1 – 2.28 (2.16 – 2.43), 2 – 1.54 (1.48 – 1.57), 3 – 1.39 (1.30 – 1.51), 4 – 2.42 (2.32 – 2.54); pronotum: total length 2.05 (2.00 – 2.11), collar length 0.36 (0.30 – 0.38), callar lobe length 0.50 (0.46 – 0.54), pronotal lobe length 1.21 (1.13 – 1.30), width 2.87 (2.75 – 3.10); scutellum: length 1.38 (1.30 – 1.46), width 1.46 (1.30 – 1.73); corium: length 5.47 (4.86 – 5.67), width 1.75 (1.62 – 1.89). Variability. Except the varying colouration of the epicoxal lobes and corium mentioned above, I observed also variability in the structure of the ventral rim of the pygophore. The median projections of the ventral rim could be only slightly divergent with apices of both projections rounded, or both projections are more divergent with apices less rounded.	en	Stehlík, L.

03E7B16CFFEB33013195DD24FB1413BD.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Dindymus (P.) sandakan differs from D. (P.) daiacus, which also has the pale band on the base of the pronotum, by its smaller size, more slender body, and colouration of antennomeres I – III, which are in D. daiacus completely black.	en	Stehlík, L.

Stål (1863) gave Manila on the Luzon Island as the type locality; however, lacking any additional records from Luzon, this seems to be a mistaken locality (see also Taeuber 1927). The record from Malaysia: Pinang Island (Schmidt 1932, as Pulo Penang) is apparently a misidentification. Note. Dindymus vinulus is morphologically variable species and it is quite possible that some of the island population will deserve subspecific status. To avoid later confusions, I am referring to the typical form as D. vinulus vinulus.	en	Stehlík, L.
