Herdoniini
Herdoniini is a tribe of plant bugs within the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. The tribe comprises approximately eight genera and more than thirty described species, though some sources cite fewer described species. Genera include Barberiella, Closterocoris, Cyphopelta, Dacerla, Heidemanniella, Mexicomiris, Paradacerla, and Paraxenetus. Members are small to medium-sized true bugs with the characteristic piercing-sucking mouthparts of the family.
Neolygus
Neolygus is a large genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae, containing at least 110 described species. The genus was first reported from the Himalayas in 2012, with records from Nepal and North India. Species identification relies heavily on male genitalia structure. Several species have been transferred to this genus from related genera such as Lygocoris.
Orthops
Orthops is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. The genus was established by Fieber in 1858. It contains at least 30 described species globally, with approximately 5 species in two subgenera recorded from Europe. Species in this genus are small, soft-bodied insects that feed on plants.
Prepops
Prepops is the largest genus in the tribe Restheniini (subfamily Mirinae, family Miridae), containing approximately 190–198 described species of plant bugs. The genus exhibits a predominantly Neotropical distribution with 86% of species occurring in this region, while about 11% extend into the Nearctic. Biogeographic analysis reveals high species richness in subtropical regions, with 23 identified areas of endemism spanning the Nearctic, Mexican Transition Zone, Caribbean, and South American subregions.
