Abstract
The genus Scutellera Lamarck, 1801 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae: Scutellerinae: Scutellerini) is revised. Three species are recognized: Scutellera nepalensis (Westwood, 1837), with two subspecies, S. nepalensis nepalensis and S. nepalensis amethystina (Germar, 1839), stat. nov.; S. perplexa (Westwood, 1837); and S. spilogastra (Walker, 1867), comb. nov. (= S. brevirostris Breddin, 1909, syn. nov.). The included species are redescribed, illustrated, keyed, their bionomics and distribution are reviewed. Lectotypes are designated for Tectocoris nepalensis Westwood, 1837, Calliphara amethystina Germar, 1839, S. lanius Stål, 1854, and Callidea spilogastra Walker, 1867. Scutellera perplexa is recorded for the first time from Nepal, Vietnam and Laos. Scutellera holosericea Dohrn, 1863, is removed from Scutellera and transferred to Procilia Stål, [1865], resulting in a formal combination Procilia holosericea (Dohrn, 1863), comb. nov.; the species is potentially a junior subjective synonym of the Afrotropical P. morgani (White, 1839); its type locality, Java, is considered as erroneous.
