Abstract

The recent discovery of the type specimen of Geocoris provisus Bergroth, 1895 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Geocoridae) has necessitated the following new subjective synonymy: Stylogeocoris provisus (Bergroth, 1895), comb. nov. = Stylogeocoris elongatus (Distant, 1901), syn. nov. Umbrageocoris malipatili Kóbor, 2022 is redescribed and illustrated, comparative notes are provided for Umbrageocoris Kóbor, 2019 and Geocoris Fallén, 1814 as well as for some species of these two genera from Australia. Stylogeocoris bicoloratus Malipatil, sp. nov. is described, and an updated key to the species of genus Stylogeocoris Montandon, 1913 is presented.
