Adults and nymphs of F. meyeri are known from the fern Nephroplepis hirsulata (Lomariopsidaceae). Filicicoris viridis specimens were collected from the ferns Angiopteris evecta and Marattia sp., (Mariattiaceae), and a few specimens were collected from the angiosperm Metrosideros collina (Myrtaceae), with the latter likely sitting records. All material of F. rubromaculus was collected from Piper latifolia (Piperaceae).</p> <p>Very few groups of insects are known to live on ferns, including the Heteroptera (Konstantinov and Knyshov 2015). Within the Heteroptera, there are a handful of clades belonging to the subfamily Bryocorinae (Namyatova et al. 2016) that are closely associated with ferns, in particular the tribes Bryocorini (Konstantinov and Knyshov 2015) and Felisacini (Namyatova et al. 2016). Additionally, a few species of the brocorine tribe Dicyphini are also associated with ferns (Knight 1938; Wheeler et al. 1979).</p> <p>Here we provide the first record of the subfamily Mirinae with ferns. Filicicoris species are known from two phylogenetically distantly fern families, the Lomariopsidaceae and Mariattiaceae (Christenhusz and Chase 2014), which supports the contention of Konstantinov and Knyshov (2015) that mirids can be associated with distantly related fern clades.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>Based on the divergent, flattened parempodia and ring-like sclerotization of the secondary gonopore, Filicicoris belongs to the subfamily Mirini (Schwartz 2008; Cassis and Schuh 2012). According to the descriptions and keys provided in Carvalho (1955), Schwartz (2008) and Cassis and Schuh (2012), Filicicoris belongs to the nominotypical tribe Mirini. Although Filicicoris has a glassy appearance, akin to that found amongst most members of the tribe Hyalopeplini, it does not have the facies of members of this latter tribe. Various authors have reported on the inadequacy of glassy wings in defining hyalopeplines exclusively, with variation within the tribe, and presence in other mirine tribes (Schwartz 1987, 2008; Chérot 2001). The Hyalopeplini comprises 17 genera, and all are readily separated from Filicicoris by the ecarinate vertex and/or punctate pronotum (Carvalho and Gross 1979).</p> <p>There are 298 genera of Mirini known worldwide (Schuh 2002–2013; Carpintero and Chérot 2008; Cho and Kwon 2008; Gapon 2014). We made an extensive survey of mirini diagnoses, and consider Filicicoris to be distinctive, based on the characters given in the diagnosis. Filicicoris is likely related to Lygocoris Reuter, 1875 and allied genera, as they also have a vertical head, carinate pronotum, impunctate or faintly punctate body and green coloration. Filicicoris is similar to Lygocoris as it also has a translucent hemelytron, but it differs in the posterior carina on the vertex being often indistinct medially, and the theca having an apical process ventrally and the vesica has distinct sclerites (Yasunaga, 1991 a). Other similar genera include Neolygus Knight, 1917, Lygocorias Yasunaga, 1992 and Ryukulygus Yasunaga, 1996. Neolygus differs by having the body covered with golden pubescence, the pronotum is irregularly punctate, the right parameres are L-shaped in most species and the left paramere has a well-developed sensory lobe (Yasunaga 1991 b). Lygocorias differs by the body being uniformly clothed with silky hairs, the right paramere is L-shaped, with an elongate hypophysis and the sensory lobe has a protuberance (Yasunaga 1992). Ryukulygus differs by having the hemelytra strongly declivous at the cuneal fracture, and the vesica possesses an elongate spicule (Yasunaga 1996).</p> <p>Compared to genera from Australian biogeographic region, Filicicoris is similar to Chinamiris in external characters and male genitalia. However, Chinamiris Woodward, 1959 differs in the eye in lateral view being slightly shorter than the head height, the carinate lateral margins of the pronotum, and the hemelytron is opaque, and neither glassy nor translucent (Eyles and Carvalho 1991). Filicicoris shares some similarities with Tinginotum Kirkaldy, 1902 in structure, but the latter genus has an opaque hemelytron, elongate setae and the vesica has distinct spicules (Eyles 2000). Diomocoris Eyles, 1999 shares some characteristics with Filicicoris in having green coloration and translucent hemelytron, but differs in the body being clothed with the dense silvery setae, the antennal segment I subequals to the vertex width, the right paramere is L-shaped, and the vesica has a large spicule. Filicicoris may also be related to the New Guinean genus Prolygus Carvalho, 1987, as the latter has similar genitalia, but differs in the finely puncutate body and the cuneus length being subequal to or slightly longer than the cuneus width at base (Carvalho, 1987).</p> <p>Amongst genera inhabiting the Western Hemisphere, we found only three taxa that are similar to Filicicoris, based on their original descriptions. Based on the works of Carvalho (1984) and Carvalho and Costa (1992 a), Ganocapsinus Carvalho, 1984 and Ganocapsisca Carvalho and Costa, 1992 are similar to Filicicoris in many diagnostic characters and the parameres of Ganocapsisca bear resemblance to those of Filicicoris. Ganocapsinus differs in having a protruding scutellum, the cuneal fracture is notched, the left paramere has an enlarged sensory lobe and the vesica has a large spicule. Ganocapsisca differs in having large eyes, reaching the gula in lateral view, the antenna are inserted near the upper third of the eye, and the apical part of right paramere is straight. Filicicoris is also similar to Xavantinisca Carvalho and Costa, 1992 in the structure and the shape of parameres, but Xavantinisca differs in the presence of small punctures on the pronotum and hemelytron, the left paramere has dentate outgrowth, and the aedeagus has a spicule (Carvalho and Costa 1992 b).</p> <p>Key to species</p> <p>1.

Filicicoris viridis also can be confused with F. tatarnici externally, however, in the latter species the head is weakly elongate and acute in dorsal view (as in Fig. 2 A), and the vesica has three lobes (Fig. 3 N). Filicicoris viridis is also similar to F. rubramaculus in the vesical lobes, but the latter species differs in its yellow coloration with red marking on the head, posterior part of the clavus and the inner part of corium (Fig. 1), and its head slightly elongate and acute in dorsal view (Fig. 2 A).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F0694FFFCD023C2233FAA01335FD5E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Krauss, 1 ♂ (00045882) (BPBM).</p> <p>Diagnosis</p> <p>Recognized by the following combination of characters: coloration uniformly yellow (Fig. 1); total length 3.2–3.4 in males and 3.6–3.8 in females; head from dorsal view elongate and slightly acute apically (as in Fig. 2 A); antennal segment I ca. 0.9 –1.0× in male and ca. 0.7–0.8 × in female longer than head width (Fig. 1); vesica with six membranous lobes, apex of one of them covered with dense small sclerotized spicules and apex of another lobe with small rare tubercles (Fig. 3 A), sclerotized rings on dorsal labiate plate small, ca. 0.1 × longer than dorsal labiate plate length (Fig. 5 A), and interramal lobes placed very closed to each other, at distance ca. 0.3 × longer than interramal lobe width (Fig. 5 B).</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Male. Total length 3.2–3.4. Coloration: Body mostly yellow; antennal segment III apically or entirely, antennal segment IV, labial segment IV and tarsal segment III pale brown to brown; eye yellow to pale brown; scent gland evaporative area whitish yellow. Surface and vestiture: Mostly as in generic description, without dark setae on head and pronotum. Structure and measurements: Body 3.2–3.4 × longer than pronotum; head elongate and acute dorsally (as in Fig. 2 A); vertex 1.9–2.1 × wider than eye diameter; antenna slightly longer than body length; antennal segment I ca. 0.9 –1.0× longer than head width and ca. 0.6–0.7 × longer than pronotum width; antennal segment II ca. 2.3–2.6 × longer than head width, ca. 1.6–1.8 × longer than pronotum width; antennal segment III ca. 1.5 –2.0× shorter than segment II; mesoscutum weakly to not exposed; pronotum ca. 1.7–1.8 × wider than long and ca. 1.3–1.5 × wider than head. Male genitalia (Fig. 3 A–C): Right paramere folded dorsally (Fig. 3 B); left paramere distinctly swollen basally (Fig. 3 C); vesica with six lobes, one of them with distinct short dense acute spicules and another lobe with scarce tubercles apically (Fig. 3 A).</p> <p>Female. Total length 3.6–3.8. Coloration: As in male. Surface and vestiture: As in male. Structure and measurements: Structure as in male; body ca. 3.2–3.4 × longer than pronotum width; vertex ca. 1.6–2.2 × wider than eye diameter; antennal segment I ca. 0.7–0.8 × longer than head width and ca. 0.5 × as long as pronotum width; segment II ca. 2.0– 2.4 × longer than head width, ca. 1.4–1.6 × longer than pronotum width; pronotum ca. 1.7–1.9 × wider than long and ca. 1.5 × wider than head. Female genitalia (Fig. 5 A, B): Anterior margin of dorsal labiate plate membranous (Fig. 5 A), sclerotized rings on dorsal labiate plate ca. 0.1 × longer than dorsal labiate plate length (Fig. 5 A); interramal lobes on dorsal labiate plate placed close to each other, each of them 3 × as long as distance between them (Fig. 5 B).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Species was collected in Raiatea Island from two localities, Fare and Fitii (Fig. 6 A).</p> <p>Host plant</p> <p>Unknown.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>F. huahine might be confused with the pale specimens of F. viridis in the yellow coloration. However, F. viridis can be separated in having the larger body size, 4.3 –5.0 in males and females, its head is short and broadly rounded in dorsal view (Fig. 2 D); antennal segment I is longer than the head width (Fig. 1), its vesica has four lobes, one of them with scarce tubercles apically (Fig. 4 A, B). The dorsal labiate plate of F. viridis differs from that of F. huahine in having the large sclerotized rings (Fig. 5 I), and the distance between interramal lobes on posterior wall subequal to the interramal lobe width (Fig. 5 J).</p> <p>Filicicoris huahine and F. raiatea are very similar to each other in the coloration and body structures, and we could not find any characters to separate them externally (Fig. 1). They are also similar in female genitalia having small sclerotized rings, the anterior margin of dorsal labiate plate sclerotized and the interramal lobes placed close to each other (Fig. 5 B, F). However, the aedeagus of each species is distinct, with the vesica bearing a different number of membranous lobe, six in F. huahine and four in F. raiatea (Figs. 3 A, D), on this basis we treat them as separate species.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F0694FFFD20229223BFA03131BFAC4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
