Bathycoelia thalassina[1] is a species of African shield bugs in the subfamily Pentatominae.
B. thalassina is a large, mostly green species of shield bug with a length of 20–21 mm. The flattened lateral border of the abdomen (connexivum) has a black pattern more or less black with round pale spot in middle of each segment. The pronotum has very dense puncturing, the surface of the disk therefore rugose and opaque.[2]
