Piesma is a genus of ash-grey leaf bugs, insects of the family Piesmatidae. It is the type genus of the family.[2]
Description[edit]
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.[3] These insects are usually macropterous (having fully developed wings), but are sometimes brachypterous.[4]
