Figs 3E, F, 5J-M, 6D-F, 7A, D, E, G, I, 9 F-N, 12A

Mesopsallus Wagner, 1970: 302 (as a subgenus of Psallus)

Type species.

Lygaeus ambiguus (Fallén, 1807)

Diagnosis.

Recognized by the following combination of characters: dorsum with apically serrate or acuminate silver scales and simple setae (Fig. 6D-F); vesica J-shaped, formed by two straps separated by membrane (Fig. 9F-N); secondary gonopore large, round, and distinctly sculptured, located almost at the apex of the vesica; apical blade of vesica short and straight; dorsal labiate plate with distinctly elongate, apically rounded sclerotized rings (Fig. 12A).

Most similar to many Psallus spp. in the general appearance, body proportions, and vestiture composed of a mixture of whitish scalelike setae and simple setae but differing from that genus in the vesica structure.
