Henicocoris monteithi
Sign in to saveHenicocoridae is a monotypic family of plant bugs created for the genus Henicocoris with the sole species Henicocoris monteithi. It was initially treated as a subfamily Henicocorinae under the Lygaeidae for the new genus Henicoris described in 1968 on the basis of a specimen collected in Queensland, Australia. It was later elevated to family rank and phylogenetic studies place it as a sister of the family Idiostolidae and is placed under the superorder Idiostoloidea within the Pentatomomorpha.

Латинское название Henicocoris monteithi Woodward, 1968 Систематикана Викивидах Изображенияна Викискладе ITIS 721966 NCBI 236834 Henicocoris monteithi (лат.) — вид полужесткокрылых из подотряда клопов, единственный в составе монотипического семейства Henicocoridae. Встречаются только в Австралии (Виктория, Новый Южный Уэльс). Длина 4,0—4,9 мм. Форма тела овальная. Усики и лабиум состоят из 4 сегментов. Задние крылья отсутствуют. Растительноядные клопы, питающиеся семенами. Первоначально, новый вид был включён его первописателем (Woodward, 1968) в семейство Lygaeidae (в подсемейство Henicocorinae) на основании морфологического сходства в системе трихоботрий и отсутствия сперматек у самок. Затем (Henry, 1997) уровень таксона был повышен до отдельного семейства в составе надсемейства Idiostoloidea[1]. Вид был назван в честь австралийского энтомолога Дж. Монтейта (G. Monteith, Квинслендский университет), собравшего первых представителей таксона[2][3]. Примечания ↑ Henry, T. J. 1997.

Henicocoridae is a monotypic family of plant bugs created for the genus Henicocoris with the sole species Henicocoris monteithi. It was initially treated as a subfamily Henicocorinae under the Lygaeidae for the new genus Henicoris described in 1968 on the basis of a specimen collected in Queensland, Australia. It was later elevated to family rank and phylogenetic studies place it as a sister of the family Idiostolidae and is placed under the superorder Idiostoloidea within the Pentatomomorpha.
Bugs in the family have an elongate ovoid outline and the head has ocelli. They have a four-segmented antenna and have three tarsal segments. The species was found in rainforest in Queensland, running actively on the ground at night. It lacks well-developed hindwings. The spiracles are ventrally placed.
