Abstract: Two species of the genus Paraethus J. A. Lis, 1994 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera:
Cydnidae: Cydninae: Geotomini) are transferred to Prolactistes J. A. Lis, 2001,
resulting in the following new combinations: Prolactistes jani (J. A. Lis,
1995), comb. nov., and Prolactistes lisi (Magnien, 2014), comb. nov. Diagnostic
characters for Prolactistes, and a key for its three species are provided. The
present note also reports the first Indonesian record for Prolactistes australis
J. A. Lis, 2001 (Ambon Island, Timor) and P. lisi (Ambon Island), both known
previously only from Australia.
