Pyrops intricatus is a species of lantern bug, an insect in the family Fulgoridae, found in Borneo.[1] It was originally described in 1857 by Francis Walker as Hotinus intricatus.[1][2]

Description

Walker described the male of the species as follows:

Ferruginous. Rostrum slightly curved and ascending, sprinkled with white flecks, rounded and luteous at the tip, a little shorter than the body. Abdomen black; hind borders of the segments green. Tibiae and tarsi black. Fore wings black, with three testaceous interior bands, and with twelve exterior luteous spots; 3rd band interrupted; veins green, brighter on the interior part than on the exterior part, where they are differently arranged. Hind wings bright bluish-grecn, with very broad purplish-black borders. Length of the body without the rostrum 11 lines; of the wings 33 lines. This species is closely allied to H. maculatus, Oliv., but in the latter species the rostrum is wholly black and more slender at the tip; the fore wings have green spots and no bands, and the blue part of the hind wings extends more towards the borders in front and less so hindward.
