Agapophyta boschmai  Blöte, 1945

male
Tessaratomidae: A. boshmai male
specimen data : Nov. 1998 - Mareeba, Queensland, Australia (© QM)

female
Agapophyta boschmai  female
specimen data : Thursday Island, Torres Strait (© MHNG)

Comments : the determination of this specimens have been made after the key Blöte gave in his paper :
Blöte H. C., 1945 - Catalogue of the Pentatomidae in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie Part I. Tessaratominae, Urolabidinae - Zoologische Mededeelingen, XXV: 285-316.
The result is somewhat surprising, and will probably need further checking, as Agapophyta boschmai originate from the Moluccas, which are somewhat far away from Torres Strait and Queensland.
