This species is also fairly widespread on the mainland and can be easily confused with species of Leptocorisa that occur there, especially the paddy bug (L. acuta). Mutusca can be distinguished by their first antennal segment being largely swollen throughout its length. In Leptocorisa this segment is swollen only at the end.
