Re-description of the assassin bug species Pygolampis striata Miller, 1940 with new distributional records from Japan and Indonesia (Heteroptera, Reduviidae, Stenopodainae)

Pygolampis striata Miller, 1940 is described based on a single male specimen. However, there are no records of the species since then. Therefore, the females and nymphs have not been described, and knowledge about their habitat is insufficient.This is the first record of the Assassin bug Pygolampis striata Miller, 1940 from Japan and Indonesia. Here, this species has been re-described, and for the first time, the female has been described. The species was collected from the surfaces of dried Poaceae grasslands using the "Gasa-Gasa collecting method".

Pygolampis striata Miller, 1940之描述基于单一雄性标本。然而，自那时起，关于该物种的记录均告阙如。因此，雌性及幼虫尚未被描述，对其栖息地之认知亦属不足。此乃首次记录日本及印度尼西亚地区之刺客蝽Pygolampis striata Miller, 1940。在此，该物种得重新描述，且首度对雌性进行描述。该物种标本系于干燥禾本科草原表面，采用“Gasa-Gasa采集法”所获。
