Abstract
The family Pachynomidae is recorded from Borneo as well as Southeast Asia for the first time. Camarochiloides gen. n. and its type species C. weiweii sp. n. is described. Dorsal habitus and various morphological characters of the new species are illustrated. Subfamily placement and affinities of the new genus are briefly discussed, a key to the genera of Pachynominae is provided. Body and wing polymorphism and nymphal morphology of the new species are documented.
Highlights
The family Pachynomidae occurs widely in tropical and subtropical areas around the world, but there are only four genera with 29 species recorded so far
Stål (1873) later transferred Pachynomus to Nabidae and erected the subfamily Pachynominae to accommodate it, which was adopted in many subsequent studies (Uhler, 1894; Lethierry & Severin, 1896; Distant, 1904; Reuter & Poppius, 1909; Harris, 1930, 1931, 1940), except by Reuter (1908) who moved Aphelonotus Uhler to Reduviidae
The most comprehensive revision of Pachynomidae was published by Carayon & Villiers (1968), who treated this group as a separate family within Reduvioidea, established the currently accepted two-subfamily classification scheme, and provided synonymic and distributional information for all known species
Summary
The family Pachynomidae occurs widely in tropical and subtropical areas around the world, but there are only four genera with 29 species recorded so far The phylogenetic importance of the postcubital sector is unclear, we illustrate the hind wing of the new species (Fig. 18), which indicates that Camarochiloides gen.
