Calocoris alpestris is a species of bug in the subfamily Mirinae of the family Miridae.
Description
Calocoris alpestris can reach a length of 9–11 millimetres (0.35–0.43 in). These large size plant bugs are entirely green, with a very elongate shape. The 1st antennal segment is very long. The base of the scutellum and thin collar behind the head may be dark.[2][3]
This species is very similar to Calocoris affinis, but it shows a gray-whitish membrane, with darker veining and the 1st antennal segment is usually dark in the basal part.[4]
