Abstract

Five species of Oriental Anthocoridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) described by Robert Bertil Poppius are revised based on their type materials. The following new combinations and new junior subjective synonyms are proposed: Amphiareus constrictus (Stål, 1860) = Cardiastethus laeviusculus Poppius, 1915, syn. nov.; Lippomanus longiceps (Poppius, 1915), comb. nov. (transferred from Cardiastethus) = Lippomanus brevicornis Yamada & Hirowatari, 2004, syn. nov.; Alofa sodalis (B. White, 1878) = Cardiastethus minutus Poppius, 1909, syn. nov.; Physopleurella obscura Poppius, 1909 (recognized as valid species) = P. nigrifemora Yamada & Hirowatari, 2007, syn. nov. Lectotypes are designated for the following species: Cardiastethus laeviusculus Poppius, 1915; Cardiastethus pilosus Poppius, 1909.
