Mirinae is a subfamily of plant bugs, insects in the family Miridae.
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.
The Cimicomorpha are an infraorder of insects in the order Hemiptera, the true bugs. The rostrum and other morphology of all members apparently is adapted to feeding on animals as their prey or hosts. Members include bed bugs, bat bugs, assassin bugs, and pirate bugs.
Calocoris is a genus of true bugs in the Miridae family.
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.
Macrotylus quadrilineatus is a species of plant bug belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Phylinae.
Orthotylus viridinervis is a species of green coloured bug from a family of Miridae that can be found everywhere in Europe except for Albania, Andorra, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, North Macedonia, Portugal, and most part of Russia.
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.
Capsus is a genus of mirid bugs belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae.
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.
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.
Bryocorinae is a subfamily of bugs in the family Miridae.
Dicyphini is a tribe of bugs in the family Miridae.
Miroidea is a superfamily of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are about 7 families and more than 15,000 described species in Miroidea.
Plagiognathus is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are at least 110 described species in Plagiognathus.
Phylini is a tribe of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are at least 440 described species in Phylini.
Deraeocorinae is a subfamily of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are more than 40 genera and around 500 described species in Deraeocorinae.
Cremnorrhinini is a tribe of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are about 9 genera and 16 described species in Cremnorrhinini.
Ceratocapsus is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are more than 130 described species in Ceratocapsus.
Herdoniini is a tribe of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are about 8 genera and more than 30 described species in Herdoniini.
Eccritotarsini is a tribe of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are about 14 genera and at least 40 described species in Eccritotarsini.
