• Scrutiny:
  • Dolling, 2011, Josifov & Kerzhner, 1978: 162 noted that Cimex pugnator Fabricius was synonymized with Cimex trigonus (Thunberg, 1783) by Stål, 1873: 78 but they regarded the two species as distinct. The record from China rests on material from Guizhou examined by them; Zheng & Dong, 1995 did not see any material from China and recorded trigonus from Sri Lanka and eastern India as well as much of SE Asia. Records from tropical Asia for trigonus and pugnator are inextricably confused. The names Gonocerus acutus Dallas, 1852 and Cletus bistillatus Dohrn, 1860b, cited here in synonymy with Cletus trigonus (Thunberg, 1783), may refer to this species.
