Lygus abroniae
Lygus abroniae is a plant bug in the family Miridae, one of 34 Lygus species recognized in North America. It was originally described by Van Duzee in 1918 from western North America and is considered a typical member of the genus Lygus. The species exhibits seasonal colour variations. Like other Lygus species, it is associated with host plants, though specific details are not well documented in available literature.
Lygus bradleyi
Lygus bradleyi is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1917. It is one of 34 recognized species of Lygus in North America. The species is part of a genus that contains significant agricultural pests, though specific economic impacts of L. bradleyi are not well documented in available literature.
Lygus ceanothi
Lygus ceanothi is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1941. It is one of 34 recognized species of Lygus bugs in North America. The species epithet suggests an association with plants of the genus Ceanothus, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in the accessible literature. Like other members of the genus, it is presumed to be a phytophagous true bug, but its specific ecological role and economic significance have not been independently studied.
Lygus convexicollis
Lygus convexicollis is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, native to western North America. It is one of 34 recognized species in the genus Lygus on the continent. The species was described by Reuter in 1876, with two former varieties (coloratus and dolichorhynchus) later synonymized under it. Like other Lygus species, it is a true bug with piercing-sucking mouthparts and is associated with herbaceous vegetation.
Lygus rubroclarus
Lygus rubroclarus is a North American plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Knight in 1917. The species was previously known as Lygus frisoni, which was synonymized with L. rubroclarus in the 1975 revision of the genus. It belongs to a genus containing 34 recognized species in North America, many of which are significant agricultural pests.
Lygus shulli
Lygus shulli is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Knight in 1941. It belongs to the economically significant genus Lygus, whose members are major agricultural pests of cotton, strawberries, and other crops. The species occurs in boreal and western regions of North America. Like other Lygus species, it possesses piercing-sucking mouthparts and is associated with herbaceous vegetation.
Lygus striatus
Lygus striatus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Knight in 1917. It belongs to the genus Lygus, which contains several economically significant agricultural pests. The species is distributed across western North America, with records from the western United States and western Canada. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with herbaceous vegetation, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented compared to better-studied congeners such as Lygus hesperus and Lygus lineolaris.
