Description

The presence of Ploiaria domestica Scopoli, 1786 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae) in Cyprus was considered doubtful. Hereby we report the first confirmed occurrence of this species in the island. Images of a living specimen and diagnostic characters for recognition of this species are provided. Whether this spe­cies has a native population in this island remains to be found.
