Abstract

We provide corrections to 19 recent papers (published since 2007) as well as one older paper from 1973. Two new subjective synonyms are proposed: Picromerus orientalis Rishi and Abbasi, 1973, new synonymy = P. griseus (Dallas, 1851) and Piezodorus brevis Hassan, Shree and Kumar, 2025, new synonymy = Piezodorus hybneri (Gmelin, 1790). The following species must be excluded from the faunal lists of the particular countries due to obvious misidentifications: Neottiglossa lineolata (Herrich-Schäffer, 1830), Podops inunctus (Fabricius, 1775) and Tarisa pallescens Jakovlev, 1871 (all Pentatomidae) from Greece; Astacops occidentalis Distant, 1903 and Graptostethus nigriceps Stål, 1874 (both Lygaeidae) and Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Pentatomidae) from India; Macrovelia hornii (Uhler, 1872) (Macroveliidae), Deraeocoris ruber (Linnaeus, 1758) and Orthotylus caprai Wagner, 1955 (both Miridae) from Iraq; Gminatus australis (Erichson, 1842) (Reduviidae), Arocatus longiceps Stål, 1872 (Lygaeidae), Geocoris punctipes (Say, 1832) (Geocoridae), Hypselonotus punctiventris Stål, 1862 (Coreidae), Neottiglossa undata (Say, 1832) and Piezodorus lituratus (Fabricius, 1794) (both Pentatomidae) from Pakistan. The record of Arhaphe deviatica Brailovsky, 1981 (Largidae) from Saudi Arabia is rejected due to lack of evidence. The records of Physopelta gutta gutta (Burmeister, 1834) (Largidae) from Iran and Geocoris amabilis Stål, 1855 from the Canary Islands are problematic and require confirmation. The following new records are provided here: Graptostethus nigriceps from the Solomon Islands, Gyndes pallicornis (Dallas, 1852) from Thailand, and Psacasta neglecta (Herrich-Schäffer, 1837) (Scutelleridae) from Greece. The distribution of Stephanitis oschanini Vasiliev, 1935 and Stephanitis pyri (Fabricius, 1775) (Tingidae) is discussed and their identification characters are illustrated.
