Blissus is a genus in the true bug family Blissidae, ^[2] commonly called chinch bugs in North America. The review by Slater (1979) listed 27 species. ^[3] The species B. leucopterus, ^[4] B. occiduus ^[5] and B. insularis ^[6] are important pests of cereal crops and turf grasses in their different ranges in the United States.
