The genus Rhynocoris Hahn, 1834 is one of the largest genera of the subfamily Harpactorinae. This genus consists of 144 described species widely distributed in the Afrotropical, Palearctic, Sino-Japanese, Oriental, and Nearctic Realms. There are three species, Rhynocoris fuscipes (Fabricius, 1787), Rhynocoris marginellus (Fabricius, 1803), Rhynocoris mendicus (Stål, 1867) recorded in Vietnam. In this study, we attempted to re-examine the Rhynocoris species collected from Vietnam based on external morphology, genital morphology, and COI phylogeny to reveal the species delimitation of this genus in Vietnam. As a result, the independence of the three Rhynocoris species from Vietnam was confirmed. Moreover, R. mendicus was revealed as being a polymorphic species with two intraspecific morphological phenotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
