Anomaloptera schwarzi (Van Duzee, 1910)
Described as Crophius schwarzi, with a nice drawing, in Van Duzee 1910, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., 9:389-398, which is on Google books here. The black donut on otherwise white corium+membrane clearly differentiate this species from others in the genus. Btw, can anyone tell me when Crophius was folded into Anomaloptera and by whom? I can't find the ref anywhere!

thanks, Jason
looks like the synonymy was introduced by Hoberlandt (1987) Results of the Czechoslovak-Iranian Entomological Expeditions to Iran 1970, 1973 and 1977. Heteroptera, Lygaeidae, Oxycareninae. Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 42: 12–29.
see Henry & Dellapé 2009 p.50: "Anomaloptera Amyot and Serville is represented by 17 New World species (Slater 1964), all of which, except one (Dellapé and Cheli 2007), previously were included in the synonymic genus Crophius Stål (Hoberlandt 1987)."
could you please drop me a word offline to vmarfus on gmail? =v=
