Orthotylinae
Orthotylinae is a large subfamily of plant bugs (Miridae) comprising at least 650 described species across at least 70 genera. Members are distributed globally, with particularly high diversity in Australia and the Palearctic region. The subfamily is traditionally diagnosed by the possession of lamellate, apically divergent parempodia—a distinctive morphological trait of the pretarsus. Multiple tribes are recognized, including Orthotylini, Halticini, Ceratocapsini, Coridromiini, Nichomachini, and Austromirini.
