Abstract: Rajburicoris stysi gen. nov. and sp. nov. from Thailand is described and the
male and female genitalia are examined and illustrated. A review of the
diagnostic characters of the tribe Cardiastethini Carayon, 1972, nom. restit.,
is given. The systematic position of the controversial genus Dufouriellus
Kirkaldy, 1906, is discussed and the genus is transferred to Anthocorini;
Dufouriellini Van Duzee, 1916, syn. nov., becomes a junior synonym of
Anthocorini.
