NEORIAZOCORIS New genus

Caystrus Ahmad and Kamaluddin 1989: 171 (nec Stål 1861)

Body moderate, elongated, generally drab, without a metallic sheen, dark brown with thickly black punctures; head broader than long, paraclypei shorter than clypeus, latter dorsally raised, lateral margins of paraclypei slightly sinuate and anteriorly rounded with convex margin paraclypeal lobe just above the eyes rounded; antennae with basal segment never reaching to head apex, second segment equal to third, fifth longest, antenniferous tubercles visible from above; labium passing much beyond hind coxae, reaching to third abdominal venter; pronotum more than 2 x broader than its length, lateral margins slightly sinuate, anterior angles, spinously toothed, directed laterad; scutellum elongate with apical lobe, apex having distinctly round, not acute, apical lobe slightly marked by a constriction; mesosternum sulcate; metathoracic scent auricle much shorter with markedly subacute apex, having posterior margin convex, round, beyond ostiole reaching to much less than ½ of evaporatoria, ostiole with ovate opening, evaporatoria distinct; hemelytra with ¾ th of costal margin apically curved, outer margin of corium without pale elongate lines and median large ovate spot absent, concealing entire connexiva, later without shining black patches and apical portion of tergum entirely concealed by hemelytral membrane.

Female genitalia

Female terminalia with first gonocoxae having a knob on posterior angle somewhat triangular, larger than eighth paratergites, fused posterior margin of the later medially, shallowly u-shaped; ninth paratergites elongate, plate like, distinctly passing beyond fused posterior margins of eighth paratergites; spermatheca with prominent proximal and distal flanges, bulb with two elongate, thin finger like tubular processes, not or hardly passing beyond distal flange, proximal spermathecal duct about 2 x longer than distal spermathecal duct.

Comparative note

This genus is most closely related to Riazocoris in having labium reaching at least to metacoxae, sometimes passing much beyond to third abdominal segment and second antennal segment equal, subequal, or slightly shorter than third but it can easily be separated from the same in having labium passing much beyond metacoxae, reaching to third abdominal sternum, apical margin of scutellum distinctly round, not subacute and clypeus distinctly longer than paraclypei, dorsally raised.
