A5609856B13F9D57C30C6DE5FD13C001.taxon	discussion	Remarks A pair of metasternal processes which the labium lies between is one of the diagnostic features for the genus. However, a similar condition is also found in Ealda Walker, 1867, Parealda Schouteden, 1907, Montrouzierellus Kirkaldy, 1908, Australojalla Thomas, 1994 and Cantheconesia Brugnera & Roca-Cusachs gen. nov. Currently, Cantheconidea are recognized by a combination of characters, including: armed profemora, crenulate anterolateral pronotal margin, lateral metasternal margins raised, produced humeri, basal abdominal spine present.	en	Brugnera, Ricardo, Grazia, Jocelia, Maynard, Andrew, Roca-Cusachs, Marcos (2024): Delimiting Cantheconidea Schouteden 1907, with the description of a new genus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae).

A5609856B1379D5EC0F76AF4FAB3C063.taxon	discussion	Remarks There are three cotypes for Canthecona mitis which represent three species from three different asopine genera. This includes a species of Cantheconidea (RMNH. INS. 1629595), Eocanthecona (cf. vollenhoveni: RMNH. INS. 1629594; Fig. 5 a – b) and Montrouzierellus (sp. 1 nr. falleni: RMNH. INS. 1629596; Fig. 5 e – f). The illustration and original description by Vollenhoven (1868) mostly align with the specimen of Cantheconidea (RMNH. INS. 1629595; Fig. 5 c – d). This specimen also clearly fits the current definition of Cantheconidea. In contrast, the remaining cotypes lack the diagnostic features of Cantheconidea: the Eocanthecona cotype, with a flat metasternum (rather than laterally elevated), and the Montrouzierellus cotype, with a smooth (rather than crenulate) anterolateral pronotal margin. It is worth noting that the metasternum of the Montrouzierellus cotype is obscured by the pin; however, examination of a non-type specimen from New Guinea confirms this morphological species has raised lateral metasternal margins. Additionally, Vollenhoven (1868) refers to both the Eocanthecona and Montrouzierellus cotypes by locality and coloration, as if they represent intraspecific morphological color variants: [translated into English] ‘ An individual from Timor is somewhat darker in color and has shaded brown forelegs [RMNH. INS. 1629594]; that of Amboina is dotted with reddish-brown and has the edge of the abdomen and the legs concolorous’ [RMNH. INS. 1629596]. Together these points lend support that specimen RMNH. INS. 1629595 is likely the main cotype that Vollenhoven based his description of Canthecona mitis on. We designate cotype RMNH. INS. 1629595 as the lectotype of Cantheconidea mitis comb. nov. to clarify its identity. The two other cotypes (RMNH. INS. 1629594, - 96) are no longer considered C. mitis and are designated as paralectotypes. Four other specimens of C. mitis were identified from photographs of the C. variabilis cotypes (reviewed and identified as not belonging to E. variabilis in the present study, see Eocanthecona variabilis comb. nov. section).	en	Brugnera, Ricardo, Grazia, Jocelia, Maynard, Andrew, Roca-Cusachs, Marcos (2024): Delimiting Cantheconidea Schouteden 1907, with the description of a new genus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae).

A5609856B1309D5EC0F169B3FBECC4E7.taxon	discussion	Remarks In his description of this species, Schneider (1940) provided figures of the dorsal habitus, life cycle, immatures, and prey of the species in a quite complete integrative approach for that time. However, he did not provide ventral characters or a photograph / illustration of the ventral side of the species. In the original publication, Schneider mentioned the Entomologisches Institut der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule, Zürich as the institution where the type of C. gaugleri is stored. This institute existed until 1992 and became the Entomological Collection of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). In his original publication, Schneider also described the lepidopteran species Sura uncariae (Schneider, 1940), which should also be at ETH. Interestingly, the type of this species is missing in the ETH collection (Michael Greeff pers. com.). Additionally, old loan forms, reaching back to 1956, have also been consulted with no positive results (Michael Greeff pers. com.). However, it is worth mentioning that in the original publication by Schneider it says the following (translated into English): “ Based on a letter from Dr H. C. Blöte, Rijksmuseum Leiden (currently Naturalis), C. gaugleri is very similar to C. acuta V. Vollenh. ” The curator of the Heteroptera section has tried to locate such specimens at the Naturalis collection, as it would have been possible that the type of C. gaugleri was on loan to Blöte and never returned to the ETH. Despite his efforts, the specimen was not found at Naturalis either (Max Caspers pers. com.).	en	Brugnera, Ricardo, Grazia, Jocelia, Maynard, Andrew, Roca-Cusachs, Marcos (2024): Delimiting Cantheconidea Schouteden 1907, with the description of a new genus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae).

A5609856B1339D43C0EE68F3FDFBC121.taxon	discussion	Remarks There are three species in the type series for E. variabilis comb. nov., which include a single paratype and 10 cotypes. The paratype of E. variabilis shows similarity with E. acuta sens. lat., but further research is necessary to confirm if they are the same species and to revise morphologically similar species of Eocanthecona across the Indo-Pacific region. The cotypes of E. variablis are different species from the paratype and include a mix of Eocanthecona (cf. vollenhoveni: RMNH. INS. 1093148, RMNH. INS. 109314850 to - 109314852, RMNH. INS. 109314854 to - 109314855) and Cantheconidea mitis (RMNH. INS. 1093149, - 1093153, - 1093156, RMNH. INS. 1092852). Consequently, the C. variabilis cotypes are no longer considered E. variabilis. The two illustrations of C. variabilis from the original description do not match the appearance of the paratype, namely the paratype has spinose rather than the illustrated blunt humeri (Vollenhoven 1868: pl. 1 figs 7 – 8). We suspect the illustrations were based on cotypes rather than the paratype.	en	Brugnera, Ricardo, Grazia, Jocelia, Maynard, Andrew, Roca-Cusachs, Marcos (2024): Delimiting Cantheconidea Schouteden 1907, with the description of a new genus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae).

A5609856B12D9D43C0DF6824FDC0C5C3.taxon	discussion	Remarks about the new combinations in Eocanthecona Bergroth, 1915 By examining the photos of the type specimens of the three above mentioned species (Fig. 6), it becomes evident that they lack the metasternal processes, which differentiate Eocanthecona from Cantheconidea. Based on this observation, we propose new combinations of these species within the genus Eocanthecona, now containing 25 species. Eocanthecona was originally described by Bergroth in 1915 to include species with a non-specialized metasternum. Initially, only E. furcellata and Eocanthecona eburnea Bergroth, 1915 were established as members of the genus, but the author noted that it was equivalent to Schouteden’s section B of Cantheconidea. Subsequently, Thomas (1994) transferred 19 species from Cantheconidea to Eocanthecona based on the metasternum characteristic. In general, Eocanthecona are currently recognized by a combination of features: profemora armed, basal abdominal spine present, flat metasternum and crenulate anterolateral pronotal margin. It is important to emphasize the urgent need for a comprehensive systematic revision of Eocanthecona, which entails examining the type specimens to confirm the validity of the species, and to establish a robust diagnosis to contribute with its identification.	en	Brugnera, Ricardo, Grazia, Jocelia, Maynard, Andrew, Roca-Cusachs, Marcos (2024): Delimiting Cantheconidea Schouteden 1907, with the description of a new genus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae).
