D5668C50FFC43A66B3C77B447393C598.taxon	discussion	Comments. Xynocoris is proposed based on two synapomorphies, the presence of long, projected, and acute anteocular processes, and apices of posterolateral angles of pygophore tumid (Garbelotto et al. 2013). Other diagnostic characters are the general body shape, the dorsal rim of the pygophore with projections laterad to segment X, the inferior layer of ventral rim with subtriangular projections over the genital cup, the shape of the ventral rim, the globose phallotheca, and the shape of the dorsal processes of vesica; the subrectangular gonocoxites 8 with median callus on disc, the subtriangular laterotergites 9, the inner portion of gonocoxites 9 with emarginated anterior margin, and the thickenings of gonapophyses 9 present and with lateral projections. The species of Xynocoris gen. nov. can be easily differentiated by characteristics of both male and female genitalia.	en	Garbelotto, Thereza De A., Campos, Luiz A., Grazia, Jocelia (2014): Xynocoris, new genus of Ochlerini from Central and South America (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Discocephalinae).
