Holcogaster is a genus of mostly Palearctic shield-bugs in the subfamily Pentatominae erected by Franz Xaver Fieber in 1861. [1] Some authorities place this genus in the tribe Carpocorini while others suggest a monotypic tribe Aulacetrini (based on the synonym Aulacetrus). [2] The type species H. fibulata, has been recorded from mainland Europe (not the British Isles or Scandinavia). [3]
