Prepopsoides jaliscoensis is a small, delicate plant bug in the family Miridae, belonging to the tribe Resthenini. This species has the typical mirid form: a soft, elongated body, long antennae, and forewings bearing a distinct cuneus, the small triangular section near the wing tip. Like other plant bugs, P. jaliscoensis feeds with a piercing-sucking rostrum, extracting fluids from plant tissues.
