Candravastra talina (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Halyini), a new genus and species from Myanmar
D.A. Gapon
Abstract. The article provides a detailed illustrated description of a new genus and species of the tribe Halyini (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae) from Myanmar. The description is based on external morphological characters and the structure of the male and female terminalia, including the completely inflated aedeagus. A detailed comparison of the new genus with the closely related genera Halys Fabricius, 1803 and Neohalys Ahmad et Perveen, 1982 is given, as well as a key for these three genera.
Key words: taxonomy, description, male and female terminalia, completely inflated aedeagus, Myanmar, Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Halyini, new genus, new species
