A new genus and species of the Miridae, Zhengiella scutellata, is described and illustrated, based on the specimens collected in the Ryukyus, Japan, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The new genus is similar in general appearance to certain species of Lygus HAHN or Pinalitus KELTON (sensu KERZHNER), but differs in several external diagnostic characters and genital structure. Zhengiella belongs to the tribe Mirini of the subfamily Mirinae.
