Closterocoris amoenus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae. It is found in Central America and North America.[1][2][3]

Description

[edit]

The parempodia are more slender, straplike, and less robust than those of nearly all other Miridae. The inner surface of the parempodia is striated.

They diverge from other Miridae with a reduced and apomorphic apex (highest part of the body).[4]
