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]

A taxonomic treatment is a section in a scientific publication documenting the features of a related group of organisms or taxa. Treatments have been the building blocks of how data about taxa are provided, ever since the beginning of modern taxonomy by Linnaeus 1753 for plants and 1758 for animals. Each scientifically described taxon has at least one taxonomic treatment. In today’s publishing, a taxonomic treatment tag
