navajo in having propleuron and metapleuron ivory and most of the
pronotum pale orange, and as in the case of S.
The
pronotum of this species is quite distinctive, with a black central area with squiggly projection on each side on a whitish background (Fig.
Specimens from the Pantanal site were located on the positive axis of PCA 2 and exhibited the greatest distortion in the posterior ventral region of
pronotum which expanded, as indicated by the Thin-Plate spline.
Pronotum yellow, elytron fully black and shinning (Raimundo and van Harten, 2000).
Head and anterior region of
pronotum, in dorsal view (scale 20 mm); 2.
Mean ratios [+ or -] SE (
pronotum width/pronotum length) of C.
These landmarks were chosen to represent major dimensions of the
pronotum. The points are superimposed onto the image that generates two-dimensional coordinates.
The
pronotum is a pale red color with 5 black spots.
Thorax:
Pronotum about 1.75 ([male]) / 1.6 ([male]) times wider than its medial length ([female], Fig.
However, these genera are distinguished as follows: Allelocoris lacks the stylate eyes, the "genae" are long, nearly reaching apex of antennal segment I and anterolateral lobes of
pronotum are expanded anteriorly.
