The Bactrodinae are a small subfamily of the reduviid (assassin bugs). Only one genus and five species have been described to date, all from the Neotropical Region (South America). [1] These bugs are slender and long-legged, the first antennal segment is long and the eyes jut out. They also have ocelli placed on raised protrusions. [2]
