Abstract

Family Tingidae is distributed from tropical to temperate zones. Because of the honeycomb-like surface on wings so-called lace bugs. The Genus Paracopium has some economic importance such as playing an important role in the gall formation and acting as a pest. Paracopium lewisi Distant, 1903 was reported only from Sri Lanka and Indonesia (Oriental region), in 1902. For the first time after 118 years, it has been reported from the North-Eastern region, of India. The new distribution record from Sri Lanka and Indonesia to Mizoram, India shows the long dispersal of the species. An updated checklist of the genus Paracopium Distant, 1902 from the world has been provided along with their distributions. The Paracopium lewisi Distant, 1903 belongs to the family Tingidae, commonly known as lace bugs, because of the lace-like pattern of their pronotum and hemelytra. Only two species of the genus Paracopium are well-known and reported in India.
