Boris,
You have a good eye for detail. Thanks for noticing this needed to be moved.

I doubt the genus
Indeed, the colouration is very simiar, but: your bug has very fine and dense sculpture of the upper surface, making it dull, and a "collar" on the pronotum.
Deraeo*coris spp. lack the collar, and the body tends to be glossy, and strongly punctured (a rare feature in Miridae).
I recommend to move the image to the family page.

Thanks Ron!
It does look a lot like Gehan's picture. I'll move it to the genus page.
