It is recorded in PA, NY, etc.

I Agree
The images and description are convincing but I am admittedly lost with some of the description. Do you recommend that I ask for a new guide page or should I put it in Miridae for now.

It seems no problem to ask for a new guide page...
And i believe the other one can be safely moved into the Pinalitus genus page.

^^
