03D887AAB205FF853DDEF9F6FF0BA81D.taxon	description	The monotypic genus Pachymeroceroides was created by Carvalho & Gomes in 1971, to include the only species, Eurycipitia bromelia, described by Carvalho (1946) based on 11 males and 20 females. The chief character which distinguishes Pachymeroceroides from other genera of the tribe is the presence of a deep fossa in the hemelytra exocorium of males.	en	Ferreira, Lorena Ferrari Uceli Paulo Sérgio Fiuza, Pirovani, Victor Dias (2009): Review of Pachymeroceroides genus with the description of a new species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Bryocorinae).
