Mirid - Paraproba nigrinervis - Paraproba cincta

Mirid - Paraproba nigrinervis - Paraproba cincta
Medford, Jackson County, Oregon, USA
July 25, 2016
Size: 5mm
Found under an apple leaf. Comment by Dr. Thomas J. Henry, who has seen the image, "You have a nice example of Paraproba nigrinervis Van Duzee (subfamily Orthotylinae)".

In addition to the green coloration and the basal black segment of the antennae, the infuscated apex of the cuneus forms a conspicuous transverse black line that is acutely angled at the middle. These are the main characterizing features of this species.

This is western in distribution (California & Oregon). A new species page can be created for this predaceous mirid.
