Abstract

as a distinct genus, was recently demoted to subgeneric rank within Deraeocoris Kirschbaum, 1855 by Kerzhner & Schuh (1995). However, their treatment remains questionable because polyphyly of the genus Deraeocoris was frequently suggested (e. g. Schuh 1995) and its subgeneric classification is therefore problematic. In the present paper, three East Asian species of Cimicicapsus are reported, and the taxonomic status of the genus is discussed. All measurements are given in millimeters. Material examined, including types, is deposited in the National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, Tsukuba, Japan, except for several specimens, where the name of depository follows the specimen’s data.
