Description

Stictopleurus punctatonervosus Kuvapankki

Stictopleurus punctatonervosus can reach a length of 6.5–9 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). These bugs have a regularly punctuated pronotum, a banded connexivum and a rounded tip of the scutellum. The body is gray-brown to black, while the abdomen is often greenish. In the anterior margin of the pronotum there are quite difficult to discern dark marks similar to two half circles or to reading glasses.
