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.
Adelphocoris is a genus of capsid bugs in the tribe Mirini. It is part of a genus group that now includes Creontiades, Megacoelum and Pseudomegacoelum.
Fulvius is a genus of plant bugs in the subfamily Cylapinae.
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.
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.
Cylapinae is a subfamily of plant bug. Bugs in this group tend to forage actively on fungus covered rotten logs in humid tropical forests.

Rihirbus is a genus of assassin bug from the tropical parts of the Oriental region. They belong to the Harpactorinae and the genus is unique in having the fore tibiae with incurved tips and the apex having a long tooth. They show sexual dimorphism and are polymorphic making their identification to species complicated. Females are larger and wider. R. trochantericus takes about 49 days to develop from egg to adult in southern India.
Pseudomegacoelum is a genus of mostly European capsid bugs in the tribe Mirini, erected by Chérot and Malipatil in 2016. The type species, Pseudomegacoelum beckeri is recorded from northern Europe including the British Isles.
