Piesma

Piesma is a genus of ash-grey leaf bugs, insects of the family Piesmatidae. It is the type genus of the family.

Description
Piesma bugs are less than 4mm long and can be distinguished from the similar genus Parapiesma by the shape of the pronotum: the side margins have a clearly recognizable notch, which the other lacks. These insects are usually macropterous (having fully developed wings), but are sometimes brachypterous.
