Abstract

Aurelianus yunnananus Xiong, 1987 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha: Coreidae: Coreinae: Mictini) is reported for the first time from India. It was collected from Tripura, in the eastern part of our country. Brief redescription and several photos, including those of the male genitalia, are provided along with the images of the male holotype and female allotype. This report also adds the genus Aurelianus to the known Indian Coreidae genera.
