Diagnosis

Dicyphus bolivari is recognized by the following combination of characters: macropterous and brachypterous males ( Fig. 33) and females; body length, males 3.58–4.21 mm in macropters and 2.52–2.90 mm in brachypters; females 3.76–4.73 mm in macropters and 2.69–3.21 mm in brachypters. Pale species ( Fig. 33); clypeus mostly stramineous; AI and AII mostly stramineous, with subbasal and subapical dark-brown annulations; left paramere with moderately robust and long apophysis, inner margin of shaft angulated ( Fig. 9C–F); aedeagus with three endosomal lobes, medial lobe with generally 8–12 small endosomal lobal sclerites, rarely 6–7 sclerites, lateral lobes densely spinulate ( Fig. 12C).

Redescription

Males. Macropters and brachypters known ( Fig. 33).

Coloration ( Fig. 33): Dorsum mostly stramineous with light to dark-brown markings, plus orange/red highlighting. Head: mostly stramineous to orange, frons+vertex with a short, reddish-brown to dark brown X-shaped marking, not extending beyond posterior margin of eyes; clypeus stramineous with medium brown highlighting, occasionally more extensive embrownment; mandibular plates stramineous; maxillary plate embrowned; vertex orange; postocular margins of head orange medium brown; gula and bucculae yellow. Antennae: AI medially, basally and apically stramineous, with subbasal and subapical reddish brown annulations; AII mostly stramineous, with distal 1/3rd dark brown, narrowly and faintly brown at base; AIII and AIV concolorous, uniformly dark brown. Pronotum: collar stramineous, translucent; callosite region mostly stramineous with variable embrownment; disk stramineous, translucent, sometimes humeral angles embrowned. Thoracic pleura and sterna: propleuron stramineous with weak embrownment, ventral margin whitish; mesobasisternum medium brown; mesepimeron and metepisternum, including evaporative areas, stramineous to whitish. Mesoscutum: mostly orange, with faint embrownment. Scutellum : lateral angles broadly pale stramineous to whitish with narrow brown stripe along midline. Hemelytra : translucent, mostly stramineous with medium brown to reddish brown markings/highlighting; with three pairs of medium brown to reddish brown markings, each pair at corial fracture, apex of endocorium and tip of cuneus; membrane veins embrowned. Abdomen: venter uniformly stramineous.

Structure: Head: interocular distance 1.21–1.62× greater than eye width in macropters, 1.23–1.62× in brachypters. Antennae: AI short, 1.16–1.67× longer than interocular distance in macropters, 1.23–1.63× in brachypters; AII 1.03–1.30× longer than posterior width of pronotum in macropters, 1.08–1.32× in brachypters. Pronotum: disk region 1.05–1.41× longer than the callosite region in macropters and 0.71–1.13× in brachypters. Male genitalia: left paramere apophysis moderately robust and long, with shaft angulated, with subapical excavation on outer margin, spatulate apex weakly denticulate on outer margin ( Fig. 9C–F); aedeagus with three endosomal lobes, medial lobe with generally 8–12 small endosomal lobal sclerites, rarely 6–7 sclerites, lateral lobes densely spinulate ( Fig. 12C).

Females. Macropters and brachypters known. Coloration, vestiture, texture and structure mostly as in males. Abdominal venter pale yellowish green. Interocular distance 1.22–1.70× greater than eye width in macropters, 1.38–1.64× in brachypters; AI 1.16–1.58× longer than interocular distance in macropters, 1.20–1.38× in brachypters; AII 0.94–1.11× longer than the of posterior pronotal width in macropters, 1.03–1.24× in brachypters. Disk region 1.05–1.55× longer than the calli region in macropters, 0.89–1.01× in brachypters.
