    grass bugs

    Stenodema is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae, tribe Stenodemini, distributed across the Palearctic, Oriental, and Nearctic regions. Species are commonly known as grass bugs due to their association with graminoid monocots. The genus includes both trans-Palearctic and trans-Holarctic species, with some exhibiting wide geographic ranges and potential cryptic diversity. Stenodema species have been studied using integrative taxonomic approaches combining morphological examination of genitalia with molecular phylogenetics.
