Spanagonicus

Spanagonicus is a genus of small, ovoid mirids, length 2.1–2.7 mm. Head transverse, weakly exserted, not concave on posterior margin; vertex visible in lateral view, interocular space less than half total dorsal width of head; eyes relatively large, taking up at least half height of head in lateral view, posterior margin partially surpassing anterior margin of pronotum. Pronotal collar absent; pronotum trapezoidal, dorsally smooth, calli not visible to weakly developed, with weak demarcation of anterior and posterior portions. Dorsum smooth; pronotum and scutellum impunctate. Hemelytral margins straight, weakly tapering towards apex; cuneus right-triangular, well developed deflection. First antennal segment inflated, inverted-cup shaped to inverted bottle-shaped; second antennal segment inflated, ranging from mildly inflated medially to football-shaped, with a ventral patch of spatulate setae in males; remaining segments narrow, third longest, fourth about 2/3 length of third. Vestiture of simple adpressed dark brown setae covering entire body; two pairs of relatively long setae on interior surface of first antennal segment. Coloration primarily dark brown; first antennal segment basally light yellow to dark brown, second antennal segment dark brown to reddish brown. Females sometimes brachypterous; second antennal segment thickened but not inflated as in males, lacking ventral spatulate setae patch.
