Guides
Phytocoris albifrons
Phytocoris albifrons is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1968. It belongs to the large and diverse genus Phytocoris, which contains numerous species of predatory and phytophagous true bugs. The species is known from Arizona, USA, with limited published information on its biology and ecology.
Phytocoris laevis
Phytocoris laevis is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Uhler in 1895. The genus Phytocoris is diverse and widespread, with species typically found in North America. Like other members of its genus, this species is primarily a plant-feeder, though Phytocoris species have been observed occasionally preying on smaller insects. The species occurs in western North America, with documented records from Colorado, New Mexico, and Washington.
Phytocoris luteolus
Phytocoris luteolus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Knight in 1923. It belongs to a large genus of mirid bugs commonly associated with vegetation. The species is documented from several states in the eastern and southern United States.
Phytocoris nigricollis
Phytocoris nigricollis is a mirid plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Knight in 1923. The specific epithet "nigricollis" refers to the black collar, a distinctive color pattern feature. Like other members of the genus Phytocoris, this species is primarily plant-feeding but may occasionally prey on smaller insects. It is known from scattered records across the eastern United States.
Phytocoris roseotinctus
Phytocoris roseotinctus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1925. The genus Phytocoris comprises diverse plant-feeding true bugs, with species typically associated with vegetation. This particular species is known from the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona. Like other members of the genus, it likely exhibits the general mirid characteristics of piercing-sucking mouthparts and plant-associated habits, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented in published sources.
Phytocoris salicis
Phytocoris salicis is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Knight in 1920. It is a small, typically gray or brown true bug that feeds primarily on plants. The species is known to occasionally prey on smaller insects, a behavior observed in other Phytocoris species. It is attracted to lights at night and has been documented in blacklight surveys in Colorado.
Phytocoris tenuis
Phytocoris tenuis is a plant bug in the family Miridae, described by Van Duzee in 1920. It belongs to a large genus of mostly plant-feeding true bugs. The species is documented from western North America, with records from California, Nevada, and Utah. As a member of Phytocoris, it is likely associated with herbaceous vegetation, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Phytocoris unnamed-a
A plant bug species in the family Miridae, belonging to the large and diverse genus Phytocoris. Members of this genus are typically small, soft-bodied insects associated with vegetation. The specific epithet "unnamed-a" indicates this is an undescribed or provisional species designation, likely used in collections or databases pending formal taxonomic description.
Phytocoris venustus
Phytocoris venustus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described by Knight in 1923. It belongs to the genus Phytocoris, a diverse group of mirid bugs commonly associated with vegetation. The species is recorded from the eastern and southeastern United States. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with woody or herbaceous plants, though specific host relationships remain poorly documented.
