Orthotylus is a genus of bugs from the family Miridae. [2] [3] There are more than 300 described species worldwide. [4] The sheer number of species has led to the recognition of subgenera and groups, some of which may be promoted to genus level. [5] Yamsunaga recognized the genus as non-monophyletic, and without consistent diagnostic characteristics. [6]

Most of the species are plant feeders, some of them attacking important crops; however, some species also prey on the larvae of lepidoptera and diptera, as well as on psyllids and aphids. [7]
