Dendrocoris reticulatus - female

Dendrocoris reticulatus - Female
near Pinos Altos, Grant County, New Mexico, USA
September 23, 2017
Size: 7.5 mm
Coordinates: 32.8746, -108.2197
Col. and det. as Dendrocoris reticulatus Barber by J. T. Botz.

I beat three specimens of this species from a stand of Quercus emoryi and Q. arizonica.
Thomas and Brailovsky (1999)(1) don't include NM as a state where this species is known to occur, so this may be a useful (if not surprising) addition to the distribution.
Note the reticulation (formation of closed cells) in the forewing membrane - a feature that easily separates this species from others in the genus.

Here is a male from the same collection event:
