572B8796FFB1FFB5FF6AFB7D6E74FE5B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genera Proutista and Shizuka are diagnosable from other members of the subtribe Lyddina by tegmina with MP 1 b single, and wings round at apex. In the previous related studies, these two genera were usually distinguished based on the length of antennae (Fennah, 1952; Chou et al., 1985; Van Stalle, 1992): in Shizuka, the antennal pedicel is more than twice as long as wide, and almost equal to the frons in length; whereas in Proutista the pedicel remains much shorter than frons. However, Yang & Wu (1994) adopted the tegminal venation to differentiate between the two genera. Based on the review of Shizuka (Yang & Wu, 1994; Chen et al., 2025) and here Proutista, tegminal venation characteristics may be more appropriate than antennal length for differentiation in identification keys: in Shizuka, tegmina with MP 3 + 4 single; whereas in Proutista, MP 3 + 4 forked. The gonostyli conformation confirms this division: in Shizuka, gonostyli are usually bifurcated apically, whereas not in Proutista.	en	Chen, Weiqiang, Wang, Yinglun, Bourgoin, Thierry, Zhang, Yalin (2025): Review of the genus Proutista Kirkaldy from China with morphological interpretation of reduced female genitalia (Hemiptera: Derbidae).
