Madates STRAND 1910: 19 . (new name for Datames HORVÁTH 1909 )

Type species: Cimex limbata FABRICIUS 1803 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Characteristic black coloration with series of yellow to orange lines and bands on dorsum ( Figs 2-5). Head subtriangular, apex narrowly rounded, lateral margins narrowly reflexed, dorsal surface impunctate or nearly so. Anterior margin of pronotum obtusely carinate, collar-like; anterolateral margins of pronotum nearly straight, reflexed, anterior ends curving medially over lateral margins of pronotal collar. Mesosternum carinate medially. Hind femora unarmed. Scutellum subtriangular, apex narrowly rounded. Parameres bilobed, posterior lobe elongate, finger-like; anterior lobe large, roundish, bowl-shaped, posteromedial surface deeply concave, with black teeth along rim; anterior parameral lobe membranous at base, thus articulating with shaft of paramere. All genital ducts (e.g. penisfilum) tend to be very elongate. Female spermatheca with sclerotized rod distinctly hooked apically; spermathecal bulb orbicular, without finger-like extensions.

Key to males of the species of Madates

1 Small species, less than 11.5 mm in length; black spot on base of each jugum continuing cephalad along lateral margin of juga distinctly beyond apex of adjacent antennifer; transverse, pale band on apical third of each hemelytron broad mesially near apex of scutellum, becoming narrower laterally ( Fig. 5); transverse, depressed band on posteroventral surface of pygophore interrupted medially by low tumescence ( Fig. 18) (South India)..................... M. parva nov.sp. – Large species, more than 11.5 mm in length; black spot on base of each jugum usually not extending cephalad beyond apex of adjacent antennifer, in some specimens, this spot may extend forward, but only submarginally, the extreme lateral edge of each jugum is pale; transverse, pale band on apical third of each hemelytron of nearly uniform width throughout ( Figs 2-4); transverse, depressed band on posteroventral surface of pygophore not interrupted medially ( Figs 6, 10, 14) 2

2(1) Posterior lobe of each paramere relatively short, robust, with four longitudinal ridges, apex obtuse ( Figs 15-17); superior ridge of pygophore not or only slightly produced caudad medially, production if present very broad ( NE India, Myanmar)........... M. quadricarinata nov.sp. – Posterior lobe of each paramere narrower, more elongate, with three or fewer longitudinal ridges, apex spinose or nearly so ( Figs 7-9, 11-13); superior ridge of pygophore produced medially, production narrow, obtusely triangular..........3

3(2) Posterior lobe of each paramere greatly elongate, nearly parallel sided, apex obtusely spinose ( Figs 10-13); anterior half of proctiger only slightly wider than posterior half; transverse, depressed band on posteroventral surface of pygophore interrupted laterally on each side by narrow ridge beginning near medial excavation in inferior ridge and running obliquely laterad ( Fig. 10) (Southeast Asia)....................... M. heissi nov.sp. – Posterior lobe of each paramere not as elongate, sides not parallel, but tapering to spinose apex ( Figs 6-9); anterior half of proctiger distinctly wider than posterior half; transverse, depressed band on posteroventral surface of pygophore uninterrupted laterally ( Fig. 6) (southern China, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia)............... M. limbata (FABRICIUS)
