Orthotylus is a genus of bugs from the family Miridae.^[2]^[3] There are more than 300 described species worldwide.^[4] The sheer number of species has led to the recognition of subgenera and groups, some of which may be promoted to genus level.^[5] Yamsunaga recognized the genus as non-monophyletic, and without consistent diagnostic characteristics.^[6]

Most of the species are plant feeders, some of them attacking important crops; however, some species also prey on the larvae of lepidoptera and diptera, as well as on psyllids and aphids.^[7]
