Main Article Content
Abstract
We redescribe Aschistocoris brevicornis (Dallas, 1852) from northern Maharashtra, India, a species belonging to the tribe Homoeocerini (Heteroptera: Coreidae: Coreinae). Here we have provided detailed, well-illustrated morphology, including the male genitalia, and notes on its bionomics for the first time.
