ZooKeys 126: 49–56. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.126.1723 Abstract A new subgenus, Gaboniella subgen. n., of the genus Schaeferiana Stehlík, 2008, and its type species, Schaeferiana (Gaboniella) incompleta sp. n. are described from Gabon. In addition the first state records of Sericocoris (Depressoculus) albomaculatus Stehlík, 2008 and Schaeferiana (Schaeferiana) mirabilis Stehlík, 2008 from the Central African Republic are provided. Keywords Heteroptera, Pyrrhocoridae, taxonomy, new species, Gabon, Central African Republic, Afrotropical Region Introduction In this contribution, we describe the subgenus, Gaboniella subgen. n., of the genus Schaeferiana Stehlík, 2008, and its type species, Schaeferiana (Gaboniella) incompleta sp. n. from Gabon. This species is interesting from morphological and phylogenetic point of ZooKeys 126: 49–56 (2011)Gaboniella doi: 10.3897/zookeys.126.1723 www.zookeys.org Copyright J.L. Stehlík, Z. Jindra.

Jaroslav L. Stehlík & Zdeněk Jindra / ZooKeys 126: 49–56 (2011) 50 view, as it possesses characters placing it between the subgenus Depressoculus Stehlík, 2008 of Sericocoris Karsch, 1892 and the genus Schaeferiana Stehlík, 2008, especially in the peculiar structure of the head and pronotum. As the new species does not fit the diagnosis of the genus Schaeferiana in some points, we establish a new subgenus to accommodate it. Sericocoris (Depressoculus) includes two species distributed in tropical Africa from Liberia to Democratic Republic of Congo: Sericocoris (D.) albomaculatus Stehlík, 2008 (western, north-western and eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo – prov- inces Kwilu, Sud-Kivu, Nord-Kivu, Nord-Ubangi and Sud-Ubangi) and the widely dis- tributed S. (D.) antennatus (Distant, 1881), which includes four described subspecies: S. (D.) antennatus antennatus (Liberia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea: Bioko Is- land, Gabon, Congo), S. (D.) antennatus obscuratus Stehlík, 2008 (western, north-west- ern, and north-central parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo – provinces Bas-Uelé, Equateur, Kwilu, Mongala, Sud-Ubangi, Tshopo and Tsuapa), S. (D.) antennatus im- maculatus Stehlík, 2008 (north-eastern and eastern areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo – Bas-Uelé, Haut-Uelé, Ituri, Nord-Kivu, and Sud-Kivu), and S. (D.) antennatus congolanus Stehlík, 2008 (south-west of the Democratic Republic of Congo – province Kongo Central) (Stehlík 2008). The genus Schaeferiana was so far monotypical, includ- ing only S. mirabilis Stehlík, 2008 from north-western, north-central, and eastern areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (Maniema, Nord-Kivu, Sud-Kivu, and Tshopo provinces) (Stehlík 2008). The present records of S. (D.) albomaculatus and S. mirabilis from the Central African Republic shift the distribution of these species further west. Materials and methods To a large extent, the terminology for body parts in this contribution follows van Does- burg (1968), but the more specific terms proposed by Schaefer (1977) are employed for the genital capsule. taxonomy Schaeferiana Stehlík, 2008 http://species-id.net/wiki/Schaeferiana Schaeferiana Stehlík, 2008: 14–19. Type species: Schaeferiana mirabilis Stehlík, 2008, by original designation. Diagnosis. Pronotal collar widened. Anterior, pale portion of pronotum elevated. Discussion. Stehlík (2008) established Schaeferiana as a new genus with particular reference to its structure of the pronotal collar and callar lobe, which is unique among all Pyrrhocoridae:
