Brooksetta malvastri
Brooksetta malvastri is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1968. The specific epithet "malvastri" suggests an association with plants in the genus Malvastrum or related Malvaceae, though detailed biological information remains limited. The species is recorded from California and Arizona in the southwestern United States. As a member of Miridae, it is a true bug with piercing-sucking mouthparts, but specific ecological details are sparse in the available literature.
