Diagnosis External morphology of adult ( Coca-Abia 2008 ). Dorsal surface glabrous. Clypeus with anterior edge rather emarginate at middle but not deeply. Frons with strong carina. Pronotum with anterior margin with a concavity at each lateral end, glabrous; anterior angles projecting with blunt apices. Epipleuron partially pubescent. Meso- and metatibiae with transverse carina interrupted at middle and inner margin of dorsal surface with spines. Pygidium with pubescence and conspicuous punctures, apical margin moderately widened and raised. Remarks Coca-Abia (2008) studied this species and designated a lectotype and three paralectotypes . Miridiba diversiceps shows features of external morphology and genitalia that characterize morphotype I “ Trichophora ”. Hence, this species is included in this genital morphotype. Distribution India ( West Bengal ).
