Species in this genus are typically associated with grasses, where they live, feed, and reproduce, often blending in with their narrow bodies and muted green or brown coloration. These insects have elongated bodies, long legs, and well-developed antennae, adaptations that allow them to move easily along grass blades. Like other mirids, they possess a piercing-sucking rostrum used to feed on plant sap.
