Orthocephalus coriaceus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in Europe including European Russia, Ukraine and the Balkans and North America.[1]

Orthocephalus coriaceus lives on various daisy family plants (Asteraceae) such as Leucanthemum, Tanacetum, Hieracium , Achillea, Centaurea, Artemisia . The bugs suck both on the leaves and stems, as well as on the reproductive organs of the plants. In North America it appears as a horticultural pest introduced from Europe.
