Abstract. New faunistic data for ten species of the family Dinidoridae are presented
based on the material from the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary), the Bernice P. Bishop Museum (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA), and Dr. Wolfgang G.
Urlich collection (Lübeck, Germany). New country records are presented for three
species, i.e., Eumenotes obscura (Laos, Indonesia), Cyclopelta siccifolia (Nepal), and
Coridius chinensis (Myanmar).
Key words: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Pentatomoidea, Dinidoridae, Old World, faunistics, new country records, Laos, Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar.
Introduction
At present, the pentatomoid family Dinidoridae includes 105 species
(Durai 1987; Rolston et al. 1996; B. Lis 1996; Kocorek & J.A. Lis 2000,
2008; J.A. Lis & B. Lis 2001; Kocorek & Danielczok-Demska 2002;
Kocorek 2003, 2004) distributed primarily in the Old World regions.
This paper is based on the material borrowed from the Department
of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary
(HNHM)), the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
(BMH), and Dr. Wolfgang G. Urlich collection, Lübeck, Germany
(WUC), and contains new data for ten species of the family Dinidoridae
(including four new country records).
