Miridae Family of true bugs

The Miridae are a large and diverse insect family at one time known by the taxonomic synonym Capsidae. Species in the family may be referred to as capsid bugs or "mirid bugs". Common names include plant bugs, leaf bugs, and grass bugs. It is the largest family of true bugs belonging to the suborder Heteroptera; it includes over 10,000 known species, and new ones are being described constantly. Most widely known mirids are species that are notorious agricultural pests that pierce plant tissues, feed on the sap, and sometimes transmit viral plant diseases. Some species however, are predatory.

<i>Stenotus binotatus</i> Species of true bug

Stenotus binotatus is a species of plant bug, originally from Europe, but now also established across North America and New Zealand. It is 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long, yellowish, with darker markings on the pronotum and forewings. It feeds on various grasses, and can be a pest of crops such as wheat.

<i>Liocoris tripustulatus</i> Species of true bug

Liocoris tripustulatus or the common nettle bug is a species of plant bug belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1781.

Fulvius is a genus of plant bugs in the subfamily Cylapinae.

Pilophorini Tribe of true bugs

Pilophorini is a tribe of plant bug. The type genus is Pilophorus. Schuh's analysis indicates that the Pilophorini originated in tropical Gondwanaland and subsequently spread into the temperate Northern Hemisphere, where they differentiated into the known genera.

<i>Helopeltis</i> Genus of true bugs

The genus Helopeltis, also known as mosquito bugs, is a group of Heteropterans in the family Miridae and tribe Dicyphini. They include important pests of various crops, including cacao, cashew, cotton and tea. Now in a different subgenus, a number of similar Afropeltis species are pests in Africa.

<i>Tytthus</i> Genus of true bugs

Tytthus is a genus of insects in family Miridae, the plant bugs. They are carnivorous, feeding upon the eggs of various planthoppers in the family Delphacidae, and thus are important in the biological control of pests. The genus is distributed throughout the Holarctic of the Northern Hemisphere, but species are also found in the tropics, in China, South America, Australia, and the Indo-Pacific.

<i>Orthotylus</i> Genus of true bugs

Orthotylus is a genus of bugs from the family Miridae. There are more than 300 described species worldwide. The sheer number of species has led to the recognition of subgenera and groups, some of which may be promoted to genus level. Yamsunaga recognized the genus as non-monophyletic, and without consistent diagnostic characteristics.

Sulawesifulvius is a genus of true bugs in the family Miridae. The genus was described in 2004 based on a specimens collected by fogging of the forest canopy in Sulawesi. It was found to be unlike any other members in the subfamily Cylapinae. The type species was named in honour of entomologist Randall T. Schuh. Almost nothing is known of the biology of the species.
