Pilophorus perplexus is a species of bug in the Miridae family.

It can be found almost everywhere in Europe, (except for the Azores, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, and Novaya Zemlya).

[1] The adult of the species is brown in colour.

It is 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in) long, and has silver-coloured bands on the forewings, which are hairy as well.

In contrast to Pilophorus cinnamopterus, the forewings in this species are much duller.
