Brachycoleus decolor is a species of plant-feeding insects of the family Miridae. [1] [2]
Description
Brachycoleus decolor can reach a length of about 6.5–9 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). [3] These relatively large true bugs have a short and wide head. Body is covered with yellowish fine hairs. Legs are yellowish-orange. Pronotum and hemelytra show distinct longitudinal black markings on a pale yellow or green background. [4]
Distribution
This species is present in Russia, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Macedonia, Poland, [5] Siberia and Central Asia, Turkestan and Turkey. [1] [6]
Habitat
Brachycoleus decolor lives in high-mountain deciduous forests, rocky grounds and pastures, at an elevation up to 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) above sea level. [7]
Biology
These true bugs maily feed on Apiaceae, especially on parsnip ( Pastinaca sativa), field eryngo ( Eryngium campestre) and Peucedanum species. This species can be found, however, on spurge ( Euphorbia spec.) and knapweeds ( Centaurea spec.). [3] Adults can be seen in June and July. [8]
