Phallus (figured by Tsai et al., 2011: 179 – 180, figs. 362, 366 – 370, not reproduced here): phallotheca with 1 + 1 callose thickenings dorsolaterally and 1 + 1 long, straight thecal processes apically; cp-II simple, membranous, long, with an elbow-like bend proximally, thickened and provided with coarse granules at this place, with a pointed apical sclerotization; cp-III simple, strongly sclerotized, fused at base, with pickaxshaped apex; aedeagus s. str. thick, greatly swollen, almost spherical dorsally, distally straight and more or less tubular, directed posteriad, obliquely truncate apically. External female genitalia (Figs. 7 A – E): Terminalia in resting position as in Figs. 7 A – C; tergite VIII horizontal, laterotergites VIII vertical; laterotergites IX (Fig. 7 D) broadly oval, separated by a narrow interspace; valvifer VIII large, subtriangular. Gynatrium with a small posteromedial pouch (Fig. 7 E: pmgp); 1 + 1 small dorsolateral pouches (Fig. 7 E: dlpg) surrounding base of spermathecal duct, each with a large, oval, strongly sclerotized and pigmented lateral sclerites (Fig. 7 E: lgs) each having a smaller projection; 1 + 1 broad anterolateral pouches (Fig. 7 E: algp) provided with 1 + 1 thin but distinct ring sclerites (Fig. 7 E: rs); fecundation sclerite surrounds base of spermathecal duct, continued into a long, thick stem posteriorly (strongly curved in lateral view), with 1 + 1 small, wing-like lateral projections anteriorly. Spermatheca: proximal duct very short, of uniform diameter; dilation large, globose; distal duct subequal in length to but narrower than proximal duct; apical receptacle elongate, apically globose. MEASUREMENTS (in mm; n = 5 ♂♂ 5 ♀♀): Body length 8.5 – 10.5 (♂) / 9.0 – 10.5 (♀); length of head 2.00 – 2.33, width across eyes 2.60 – 2.88, interocular distance 1.78 – 2.00; lengths of antennal segments (I) 0.60 – 0.70: (IIa) 0.45 – 0.55: (IIb) 0.75 – 0.97: (III) 1.20 – 1.50: (IV) 1.65 – 2.10; median length of pronotum 3.00 – 3.85, humeral width 5.75 – 7.25; length of scutellum 5.15 – 6.40, greatest width 5.00 – 6.70; greatest width of abdomen 5.10 – 6.80. INTRASPECIFIC VARIABILITY: The development of the black spots on the dorsum shows minor variability. In some specimens the pattern on the scutellum is reduced, the 1 + 1 arched fasciae running posteriad to the basal tumescence are missing, in some specimens also the subapical median spot is obsolete or missing; occasionally all dorsal markings are faint, indistinctly delimited (as in Fig. 1 C). In specimens having a more developed pattern the fasciae and patches might be variously confluent. The black pattern on the pronotum also varies from narrow bands to broad patches, but their relative position and orientation is constant. The inner outline of marginal vitta of the abdominal venter usually extends far mesad of spiracles, straight (Fig. 1 B), but in rare occasions it is restricted to area laterad of spiracles and its inner outline is incised around spiracles similarly to the condition found in L. roylii. In individuals from the Malay Peninsula the red marginal vitta is usually completely lacking (Fig. 1 D). Such specimens were recognized as representing a distinct species, L. smaragdus, by Breddin (1903). Examination of the lectotype of L. smaragdus and several additional specimens from the Malay Peninsula concluded that they are conspecific with L. lateralis and merely represent a local colour variety of the latter, therefore the synonymy of the two species is proposed. The species shows an intraspecific geographic variation in respect of the shape of valvifer VIII: in specimens from Indochina they are flat and coplanar (Fig. 7 B), whilst in specimens from the Malay Archipelago their mesal portions strongly protrude posteriad (Fig. 7 C). Examination of a large sample from all over the distribution area revealed no additional characters which suggest species level differences between these morphs, therefore all specimens are considered as conspecific.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFB8E76987A60869FEE5F7E6.taxon	biology_ecology	HABITAT AND BIONOMICS: The bionomics of this species was reviewed by Tsai et al. (2011). The following plants were reported as host plants of L. lateralis: Camellia oleifera Abel, other unspecified Camellia sp. (Theaceae) (Yang and Wu, 1981; Wu, 1984; Chen et al., 1985; Zhang et al., 1994, Lin et al., 1999; Liu and Wang, 2004) and unspecified oak trees (Quercus spp., Fagaceae) (Jiang, 1985; Zhang et al., 1987) in China; Sambucus chinensis Lindl. (Caprifoliaceae) and Solanum pseudocapsicum L. (Solanaceae) (Kato, 1933; Ho, 2003; Tsai et al., 2011) in Taiwan. Some authors considered it as a minor pest of the tea plants (Yang, 1962; Qi et al., 1993; Dai, 1997, 2010; Zhang and Han, 1999). It was recorded from tea plantations in Indonesia too (Bernard, 1919), but it apparently does not have economic importance there.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFB8E76987A60869FEE5F7E6.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION: Lamprocoris lateralis occurs all over Indo-China and in Malesia west of Wallace’s line; in China it does not extend north of the Yunnan – Guizhou Plateau, the Nanling and the Wuyi Mountains. Its records from the Indian Subcontinent are not abundant, most specimens we could access were collected in the Northeastern part of the country, but voucher specimens from Tamil Nadu indicate that it might be more widely distributed than its published records might suggest (Figs. 8 B, C).

03871B43FFB2E770878E0B6FFF2EF713.taxon	description	REDESCRIPTION: COLOR: General body color iridescent metallic green, frequently with strong purplish shade, usually more strongly reflective than in L. lateralis, decorated with black to metallic blue markings (Figs. 2 A – B, 3 A – B) as follows: basal half of clypeus; cicatrices, a median vitta not reaching anterior and posterior margins, 2 + 2 obliquely transverse submedian bands and 1 + 1 patches at humeri of pronotum; a median and 1 + 1 submedian spots on basal tumescence, 2 + 2 patches around middle (usually confluent into an anteriorly convex arch), 1 + 1 submarginal patches slightly posteriad to middle, 1 + 1 large submedian patches close to apex, and a median patch subapically on scutellum; ex-posed part of fore wing dark brown to black; thoracic pleura and venter rather uniformly metallic green, peritreme of metathoracic scent gland ostiole and surrounding evaporatorium black; abdominal venter metallic green, ventrites III – VII broadly margined with black anteriorly, ventrites III – VIII with a marginal vitta laterad of spiracles bright red to orange, inner outline of bright marginal vitta incised around spiracles, spiracle + trichobothria of each segment widely surrounded by black; genital capsule and female terminalia as general body colour (laterotergites VIII either metallic green or red); abdominal dorsum red; antenna, labium and legs as in L. lateralis. STRUCTURE: General facies as in L. lateralis. Head: short, 1.3 – 1.4 times as wide as its median length, 1.5 – 1.6 times (♂, ♀) as wide as interocular distance. Antenna Segment IIb about 1.4 – 1.9 times as long as IIa, segment IV 1.55 – 1.7 times as long as III. Labium projecting between hind coxae or extending to base of abdomen. Thorax: Pronotum as in L. lateralis. Scutellum usually slightly broader than its length. Thoracic pleura and sterna Peritreme less curved apically than in L. lateralis. Pregenital abdomen: As in L. lateralis. External male genitalia: Genital capsule (Figs. 4 D – F) with 1 + 1 tubercles laterally, posterior margin shallowly emarginate at both sides of midline in dorsal view (Fig. 4 D), posteroventral outline more shallowly concave in lateral view than in L. lateralis (Fig. 4 F); median projecion of cup-like sclerite closely approaching ventral rim posteriorly. Paramere (Figs. 5 C, D) similar to that of L. lateralis but crown shorter, more gracile and less sharply curved, with rather obtuse apex; lateral edge at base of crown strongly prominent; with a narrow membranous joint between crown and stem. Phallus (Figs. 6 A – C): hinge (Figs. 6 B, C: hi) weakly protruding; phallotheca (Fig. 6 C: phth) barrel-shaped with 1 + 1 strongly sclerotized and pigmented, sharply protruding callose thickenings dorsolaterally, with remnants of 1 + 1 dorsolateral thecal processes present as hardly noticeable rudimentary protrusions (Fig. 6 B: thp); two pairs of symmetrical conjunctival processes (cp-II, cp-III): cp-II (Figs. 6 A, B: cp-II) long, membranous, with a small, weakly sclerotized, granulate lobe ventrally close to its base, distal fourth strongly sclerotized and pigmented, apically sharp; cp-III (Figs. 6 B, C: cp-III) sclerotized, narrow, rod-like, contralateral counterparts broadly separated at base, strongly curved dorsad around middle, surrounding apical portion of aedeagus; aedeagus (Figs. 6 B, C: aed) relatively gracile, without highly elevated dorsal lump basally, proximal half coarsely crenulate laterally, directed posterodorsad, then sharply curved dorsad, distal half almost vertical, weakly curved.

Gynatrium with a small posteromedial pouch (Fig. 7 H: pmgp); 1 + 1 large, saccular dorsolateral pouches (Fig. 7 H: dlgp) surrounding base of spermathecal duct, each with an obliquely directed, elongate, strongly sclerotized and pigmented lateral sclerites (Fig. 7 H: lgs); 1 + 1 broad anterolateral pouches (Fig. 7 H: algp) without distinct ring sclerites; fecundation sclerite surrounding base of spermathecal duct, continued into a short stem posteriorly (strongly curved in lateral view), with 1 + 1 large, flattened lateral projections forming a transverse carina-like structure (Fig. 7 H: fec) immediately anteriad of base of spermathecal duct, associated with 1 + 1 thin, apically clavate processes perhaps also derived from the fecundation sclerite. Spermatheca proximal duct relatively short but distinctly longer than that of L. lateralis, of uniform diameter; dilation large, globose; distal duct narrower and slightly shorter than proximal duct; apical receptacle elongate, apically globose. MEASUREMENTS (in mm; n = 5 ♂♂ 5 ♀♀): Body length 8.5 – 10.0 (♂) / 9.0 – 11.0 (♀); length of head 1.80 – 2.10, width across eyes 2.42 – 2.88, interocular distance 1.56 – 1.84; lengths of antennal segments (I) 0.64 – 0.88: (IIa) 0.40 – 0.58: (IIb) 0.75 – 0.95: (III) 1.04 – 1.25: (IV) 1.62 – 1.95; median length of pronotum 3.00 – 4.00, humeral width 5.70 – 5.80; length of scutellum 4.75 – 6.40, greatest width 5.30 – 7.00, greatest width of abdomen 5.40 – 7.10.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFB2E770878E0B6FFF2EF713.taxon	biology_ecology	HABITAT AND BIONOMICS: It most frequently occurs in woodland habitats and forest edges, usually on shrubs (Yang, 1962; Chen, 1985; Q. H. Chen, 1990). Not much information is available on its host plants; it has been recorded from unspecified Paulownia spp. (Paulowniaceae) (Chen et al., 1985; Lin et al., 1993, 1999), and one of the specimen examined by us was collected on Berberis asiatica Roxb. ex DC. (Berberidaceae) in Uttarakhand, India. According to Huang and A (2004) it is harmful in macadamia orchards (mainly Macadamia ternifolia F. Muell., Proteaceae) in Yunnan, damaging leaves and shoots, but damage only occurs sporadically and the loss is generally not more than 2 – 3 %.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFB2E770878E0B6FFF2EF713.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: A single female syntype of Callidea roylii was received from OXUM and it is designated as lectotype. An additional conspecific male apparently originating from Westwood’s collection and currently deposited in RMNH has been examined too, it is potentially part of the original syntype series. The type material of Scutellera pulchella cannot be found in any collections accessed by us but the illustration accompanying the original description leaves no doubt that the synonymy proposed by Atkinson (1887) is correct. Re-examination of the types of Callidea histeroides, C. scripta and C. gibbula confirmed the synonymies proposed by Distant (1899). Callidea distinguenda proposed by Walker (1868: 514) was preoccupied and it was corrected to C. distermina in the same work (Walker, 1868: 578) without any further comment; this act can be interpreted either as proposal of a new substitute name or an author’s corrigendum intended to correct an inadvertent error (ICZN, 1999: Art. 32.5.1.1), but in any case Walker (1868) validly replaced C. distinguenda with C. distermina; this replacement was apparently overlooked by all subsequent authors. A careful examination of the holotype of C. distinguenda and direct comparison with specimens of L. roylii concluded that it is a teneral, distorted specimen of L. roylii, therefore the synonymy of the two species is proposed. The type locality of C. distinguenda (Sumatra) is erroneous.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFB2E770878E0B6FFF2EF713.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION: The species is distributed all over the humid subtropical parts of South China, and it is broadly extending along the southern ranges of the Himalayas; we have seen voucher specimens from southern Vietnam (Da Lat) and the Malay Peninsula (Fig. 8 D). It is apparently connected to the subtropical semievergreen and deciduous forests of the Sub-Himalayan belt and South China. We present the first country records for Burma, Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia. Pawar (1973) recorded the species from Sri Lanka and we have seen old voucher specimens from the country; these records fall outside the known distribution range of the species so strikingly that we suspect that they are erroneous. The record from the New Hebrides (Sienkiewicz 1964) is evidently wrong.

03871B43FFABE77C85F00CAEFC52F4D4.taxon	description	REDESCRIPTION: COLOR: Dorsum usually bright iridescent purple or pink (Figs. 3 C – D), more rarely orange or reddish, less strongly shining (see Intraspecific variability), dorsum of head and usually callar region of pronotum darker; ventral surface of head, thoracic pleura, and abdominal venter dark iridescent violaceous, with more or less expressed purplish shine on ventral surface of head, supracoxal lobes, lateral portion of metepisternum, most of metepimeron, and posterior portions of abdominal sternites; lateral margin of propleuron of same colour as pronotum; most of mesosternum occasionally with a bright orange median vitta; abdominal sternites II – VII broadly margined with orange laterally, spiracles + trichobothria surrounded by a large black patch on each of segments III – VII therefore mesal outline of marginal vitta denticulate; posterior margin of sternite VII (♂, ♀), most of exposed parts of genital capsule and female terminalia orange; antennal segments I, IIa and base of IIb dark iridescent violaceous, remaining parts black; coxae and trochanters orange to brown, remaining parts of legs dark iridescent violaceous. STRUCTURE: Head: 1.2 – 1.25 times as wide as its median length, 1.4 – 1.45 times (♂, ♀) as wide as interocular distance; anteocular portion relatively long, about 2.3 times longer than length of eye measured in dorsal view; clypeus distincly surpassing apices of mandibular plates. Antenna: Segment IIb about 1.8 times as long as IIa. Labium usually surpassing base but not reaching middle of sternite III. Thorax: Pronotum 1.9 – 2.05 times as broad (excluding humeral processes) as long; lateral margin very weakly concave, broadly and rather thickly carinate; humeral process horizontal, pointed, junction with lateral margin of pronotum straight anteriorly, concave posteriorly. Pregenital abdomen: As in the subgeneric diagnosis. External male genitalia: Genital capsule (Figs. 4 G – I) without tubercles laterally, posterior margin strongly produced posteriad, apex shallowly emarginate mesally in dorsal view (Fig. 4 G), posteroventral outline deeply concave in lateral view (Fig. 4 I), posterior median projecion of cup-like sclerite far remote from ventral rim posteriorly. Paramere (Figs. 5 E – F): with strongly curved hook provided with a broad, obtuse, laterally somewhat flattened apex. Phallus (Figs. 6 D – F): phallotheca (Fig. 6 F: phth) with 1 + 1 callose thickenings dorsolaterally, without thecal processes; two pairs of symmetrical conjunctival processes (cp-II, cp-III): cp-II (Figs. 6 D – F: cp-II) long, membranous, with a small membranous lobe laterally close to its base, distal third strongly sclerotized and pigmented, apically sharp; cp-III (Fig. 6 E: cp-III) robust, heavily sclerotized and pigmented, fused at base, apex broad, obliquely truncate; aedeagus s. str. thick, greatly swollen, almost spherical dorsally, distally straight and more or less tubular, directed posteriad, obliquely truncate apically. External female genitalia (Figs 7 I – J): Terminalia in resting position as in Fig. 7 I; tergite VIII and laterotergites VIII completely fused, no clear edge present between them but they form rather a continuous declivous surface posteriorly; tergite VIII shortly but distinctly produced posteriorly along meson; laterotergites IX small, broadly separated from their counterparts along meson and from ventrite VII laterally, leaving sternite X (Fig. 7 I: s 10) and most of fused valvifers IX (Fig. 7 I: vf 9) exposed; valvifer VIII robust. Gynatrium with a small posteromedial pouch (Fig. 7 J: pmgp); 1 + 1 small dorsolateral pouches (Fig. 7 J: dlgp) surrounding base of spermathecal duct, lateral sclerites (Fig. 7 J: lgs?) apparently present as weak sclerotizations along mesal margins of dorsolateral pouches; 1 + 1 broad anterolateral pouches (Fig. 7 J: algp) provided with 1 + 1 thin but distinct ring sclerites (Fig. 7 J: rs); fecundation sclerite (Fig. 7 J: fec) surrounds base of spermathecal duct, continued into a long, thick stem posteriorly (nearly straight in lateral view). Spermatheca: proximal duct very short; dilation very large, ellipsoid; distal duct relatively short but distinctly longer and narrower than proximal duct; apical receptacle elongate, apically globose. MEASUREMENTS (in mm; n = 5 ♂♂ 5 ♀♀). Body length 12.0 – 15.5 (♂) / 13.9 – 16.0 (♀). Length of head 2.43 – 3.00, witdh across eyes 3.08 – 3.69, interocular distance 2.10 – 2.53, lengths of antennal segments (I) 0.85 – 1.08: (IIa) 0.73 – 0.93: (IIb) 1.30 – 1.68: (III) 1.78 – 2.30: (IV) 2.38 – 3.10; length of pronotum 3.55 – 5.10, greatest width (measured across bases of humeral spines) 7.37 – 9.80, length of scutellum 7.37 – 9.60, greatest width 6.93 – 9.02, greatest width of abdomen 7.95 – 10.75. INTRASPECIFIC VARIABILITY: The color of the dorsum is considerably variable, light purple or pink and strongly shining specimens are most common in collections (Figs. 3 C – D). Softened specimens, and probably living specimens are usually golden, but orange or dark red and rather dull specimens are not rare either. Specimens are otherwise remarkably uniform.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFABE77C85F00CAEFC52F4D4.taxon	biology_ecology	BIONOMICS: A montane species generally found in mountainous woodland habitats. In the Ailao Mts., Yunnan, it was recorded from forests dominated by Pinus yunnanensis Franch. (HU, 1989). Its host plants are unknown. Although YANG (1962) claimed that it is harmful to unspecified forest trees in China, its importance is certainly insignificant.	en	Rédei, Dávid, Tsai, Jing-Fu (2016): A revision of Lamprocoris (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae).

03871B43FFABE77C85F00CAEFC52F4D4.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION: Lamprocoris spiniger is a montane species occurring in the southern ranges of the Eastern Himalayas, the neighbouring Naga Hills and Hengduan Mountains, extending southwards along the Indo-Burman Ranges to the Chin Hills (Fig. 8 A). We have seen specimens from southern Vietnam (Tây Ninh) therefore it might be distributed along the Annamite Range but we did not see voucher specimens from eastern Indo-China. We provide the first country records for Bangladesh and Thailand. INDIA: West Bengal!; Sikkim!; Assam!; Meghalaya!; Nagaland! — NEPAL! — BHUTAN! — BANGLADESH!
