03C58783FFADFFA2E1D8EB82FDE00342.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Bubaces is related to Xestocoris Van Duzee by having the dorsal surface of body strongly shiny, pronotum trapeziform, narrowing anteriorly, head basally with two iridescent spots, one on either side of midline, and fore femora slightly incrassate. In Xestocoris, the body dorsally is densely clothed with long hairs, and the eyes have two long, forward-curving setae. In Bubaces, the body dorsally is glabrous or clothed with a few long, scattered hairs, and the eyes lack the two long, forward-curving setae.	en	Brailovsky, Harry, Barrera, Ernesto (2020): Review of the genus Bubaces (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae Lethaeini) with descriptions of three new species, new distributional records, and key to species.

03C58783FFADFFA2E1D8EB82FDE00342.taxon	discussion	At peesent, Bubaces includs five described species, all confined to the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico to Argentina, and including the West Indies: B. castaneus Distant 1893, B. convergens Brailovsky 1981, B. enatus Brailovsky 1981, B. heissi O’Donnell 2006, and B. uhleri (Distant 1901). Brailovsky (1981) divided the genus into two group of species. The “ castaneus ” group contains species which are longer than 4.70 mm., the ocelli are present, the rostrum is longer, reaching onto abdominal sternite IV and sometimes to the posterior border of sternite VI, and rostral segment I exceeding beyond the base of the head. Included in this group are the following species: B. castaneus, B. convergens, and B. heissi. In the “ uhleri ” group, the species are shorter than 4.20 mm., the ocelli are absent, the rostrum is shorter, reaching only to the posterior border of the metasternum, and rostral segment I extend just beyond the level of middle of the eye. This group Includes B. enatus, and B. uhleri.	en	Brailovsky, Harry, Barrera, Ernesto (2020): Review of the genus Bubaces (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae Lethaeini) with descriptions of three new species, new distributional records, and key to species.

Bubaces occidentalis sp. nov., is included in the “ castaneus ” group by having the total length of the body greater than 4.70 mm. Bubaces occidentalis is further segregated by having the dorsal surfaces of the pronotum, clavi and coria clothed with long hairs, the coria lacking circular yellow to creamy yellow subapical spots, and its distribution being restricted to the western parts of Mexico. In B. castaneus, the surfaces of the pronotum, clavi and coria are glabrous, the coria also lack circular yellow to creamy yellow subapical spots, but its has a wide distribution, occurring from southern Mexico (States of Campeche, Quintana Roo and Yucatan) throughout Central and South America.	en	Brailovsky, Harry, Barrera, Ernesto (2020): Review of the genus Bubaces (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae Lethaeini) with descriptions of three new species, new distributional records, and key to species.
