Uhler, 1893

Emesopsis nubilus is a thread-legged assassin bug ( Reduviidae, Emesinae) described by Uhler in 1893. It is currently treated as a synonym of Emesopsis nubila in the Catalogue of Life, though both names appear in use. The Emesopsis belongs to the tribe Ploiariolini, a group of reduviids characterized by slender, elongate bodies and forelegs adapted for capturing prey. Members of this genus are found in various regions and are generally associated with vegetation where they hunt small arthropods.
