i asked Jane O'Donnell last night is this Paurocoris punctatus
she said, "It sure looks close! The antennae differ in color from the specimens in the collection here [at UConn. -v] (Mexico and Panama), but otherwise I don't see any differences.... Go ahead and call it that; the species is known from Texas."

Moved from Dirt-colored Seed Bugs.
