EctinoderusWestwood JO (1843) Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.: 11. is a genus of Asian bugs in the family Reduviidae.Global Biodiversity Information Facility: Ectinoderus Westwood, 1845 (retrieved 21 March 2020) It is the type genus of the tribe Ectinoderini: the 'Oriental resin bugs' (although some authorities elevate this to a subfamily - Ectinoderinae).
Determination
The two genera of Oriental resin bugs appear to be very similar to one another, but can be differentiated by careful examination of the head region. With Ectinoderus the first antennal segment is always distinctly longer than the head, but in Amulius this segment is much shorter (<50%) than the head length. Species in this genus require review.
