Abstract

A new monotypic genus, Iocoris, is erected to accommodate an undescribed unique species, Iocoris nodulifemoralis sp. nov., in the reduviid subfamily Harpactorinae from China. A key is provided to distinguish the new genus from other closely related genera. The dorsal habitus and other diagnostic characters are illustrated. The type specimens are preserved in the Entomological Museum of China Agricultural University, Beijing.
