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]
Partial list of subgenera
- Ericinellus type species: Orthotylus ericinellae[8]
- Orthotylus[9]
- Melanotrichus type species: Orthotylus flavosparsus[12]
- Pseudorthotylus type species: Orthotylus bilineatus[13]
