Coreoidea

The leaf-footed bugs and allies make up the superfamily Coreoidea of the true bug infraorder Pentatomomorpha.

There are 5 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.

The families are:

  • Alydidae – broad-headed bugs
  • Coreidae – leaf-footed bugs and squash bugs
  • Hyocephalidae
  • Rhopalidae – scentless plant bugs
  • Stenocephalidae
