Hemiptera lace bug taxonomy new species key to species biology host-plant

Abstract

A new species of the lace bug genus Physatocheila Fieber, 1844 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae), is described from eastern Honshu, Japan under the name of P. nigrintegerrima. A photograph of a living individual is also given. This species is found on the fruits of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. (Rhamnaceae) and is the first documented fruit-feeder of the genus. A key to the species of the genus from Japan is provided.
