Ornithocoris pallidus is a species of bed bug in the family Cimicidae, first described by Usinger in 1959. It belongs to the subfamily Haematosiphoninae, which comprises cimicids associated with birds and bats. The genus Ornithocoris is distinguished from other cimicid genera by its association with avian hosts. The species epithet 'pallidus' refers to its pale coloration. Distribution records indicate presence in North America and South America, though specific details regarding its biology and ecology remain poorly documented in the available literature.
