The paper represents the first part of a series dealing with the Eastern Hemisphere species of the genus Polymerus Hahn, 1831 and includes a redescription of the genus and the nominative subgenus, and descriptions of Pachycentrum subgen. nov., P. (Polymerus) russatus sp. nov. and P. (Pachycentrum) unciniger sp. nov. The specific name P. funestus Reuter, 1906 is transferred from the subgenus Poeciloscytus Fieber, 1858 to the nominative subgenus and synonymised with P. pekinensis Horváth, 1901. New combinations for seven African, Indian, and Australian species are proposed: Charagochilus aureus (Ballard, 1927) comb. nov., Ch. bimaculatus (Poppius, 1910) comb. nov., Ch. consanguineus (Distant, 1904) comb. nov., Ch. flavipes (Distant, 1904) comb. nov., Ch. madagascariensis (Poppius, 1914) comb. nov., Ch. obscuratus (Poppius, 1914) comb. nov., Proboscidocoris solitus (Walker, 1873) comb. nov. The species Polymerus nitidus (Odhiambo, 1959) is returned to the genus Proboscidocoris. Five African and Arabian species are included in the new genus Dichelocentrum gen. nov.: D. alkadanum (Linnavuori & van Harten, 2005) comb. nov., D. flora (Linnavuori & van Harten, 2005) comb. nov., D. longirostre (Reuter, 1905) comb. nov., D. ornatifrons (Odhiambo, 1959) comb. nov. and D. transvaalicum sp. nov. The specific name Polymerus xerophilus Linnavuori, 1975 syn. nov. is synonymised with D. ornatifrons comb. nov. Key, diagnoses, data on distribution, and illustrations of the parameres, entirely inflated vesica and the gynatrium are provided for all recognised species from the subgenera Polymerus, Pachycentrum subgen. nov. and the genus Dichelocentrum gen. nov.
本文是关于1831年哈恩氏Polymerus属东半球物种系列论文的第一部分，包括对该属及指名亚属的重新描述，以及对新亚属Pachycentrum、新种红翅Polymerus（Polymerus）russatus和钩状Polymerus（Pachycentrum）unciniger的描述。1906年的P. funestus Reuter种从1858年的Poeciloscytus亚属转移至指名亚属，并与1901年的北京Polymerus pekinensis同义。还提出了七个非洲、印度和澳大利亚物种的新组合：金黄Charagochilus aureus（巴拉德，1927年）新组合、双斑Charagochilus bimaculatus（波皮乌斯，1910年）新组合、血亲Charagochilus consanguineus（迪斯坦特，1904年）新组合、黄足Charagochilus flavipes（迪斯坦特，1904年）新组合、马达加斯加Charagochilus madagascariensis（波皮乌斯，1914年）新组合、暗黑Charagochilus obscuratus（波皮乌斯，1914年）新组合、长喙Proboscidocoris solitus（沃克，1873年）新组合。光泽Polymerus nitidus（奥迪安博，1959年）种回归Proboscidocoris属。五个非洲和阿拉伯物种归入新属双角Polymerus Dichelocentrum新属：阿尔卡达双角Polymerus alkadanum（林纳武奥里和范哈滕，2005年）新组合、弗洛拉双角Polymerus flora（林纳武奥里和范哈滕，2005年）新组合、长喙双角Polymerus longirostre（路透社，1905年）新组合、饰额双角Polymerus ornatifrons（奥迪安博，1959年）新组合和德兰士瓦双角Polymerus transvaalicum新种。1975年的旱生Polymerus xerophilus Linnavuori新异名与饰额双角Polymerus ornatifrons新组合同义。为Polymerus亚属、新亚属Pachycentrum和新属双角Polymerus Dichelocentrum的所有认可物种提供了检索表、诊断、分布数据以及阳茎基侧突、完全膨胀的阳茎囊和雌孔的图示。
