Taxonomy
Poecilcoris druraei has no subspecies, hower it does have one junior synonym, P. watanabei (Matsumura,1913) due to a misidentification.[3]
Poecilcoris watanabei
The male "holotype" of P. watanabei is discovered sometime after the first description of it by Shonen Matsumura in 1913. Upon it, this holotype is almost the same to P. druraei, although the description of P. watanabei matches.[3]
Ecology
Poecilcoris druraei thrives on Morus alba, Camellia oleifera, and Camellia sinensis.[2]
