Abstract

Deraeocoris insulicola Poppius, 1915 (Miridae, Deraeocorinae, Deraeocorini) is redescribed based on newly examined material. The male of this species is described for the first time. Photographic images of male and female habitus and genital structures, as well as scanning electron micrographs of the selected structures are provided.
