Thestral is a genus of shield bug found in central Chile.

[1] As of 2018[update], it is monospecific, just consisting its type species T.

[1] The genus is named after the thestrals, a fictional horse-like creature from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.

The fictional animal has a skeletal body and is unable to be seen by the majority of people; Faúndez & Rider chose this name for the genus due to the bug's ivory coloring and scarcity of specimens.
