Quick Facts Scientific classification, Families ...

There are five extant families presently recognized, but the Coreoidea as a whole are part of a close-knit group with the Lygaeoidea and Pyrrhocoroidea and it is likely that these three superfamilies are paraphyletic to a significant extent; they are therefore in need of revision and redelimitation.[2]

The families are:

  • Alydidae Amyot & Serville, 1843 – broad-headed bugs
  • Coreidae Leach, 1815 – leaf-footed bugs and squash bugs
  • Hyocephalidae Bergroth, 1906
  • Rhopalidae – scentless plant bugs
  • Stenocephalidae Amyot & Serville, 1843
  • † Trisegmentatidae Zhang, Sun & Zhang, 1994
  • † Yuripopovinidae Azar, Nel, Engel, Garrouste & Matocq, 2011
  • † Pachymeridiidae[3] Handlirsch, 1906
