Systematics

Phylogenetic work in 1991 [4] and later in 2009 [3] suggested that "Lasiochilidae" could be treated as a family separate from Anthocoridae (as well as the recognition of the family Lyctocoridae). This has been followed by some studies [5] [6] but not others. [7]

Description

Lasiochilinae are similar to other Anthocoridae (if treated as its own family, it is similar to Lyctocoridae and to Anthocoridae), such as male genitalia being asymmetrical with a reduced right paramere. An apomorphy of the group is the first two abdominal segments having a single pair of dorsal laterotergites, while the rest have a simple tergal plate. The spermatheca of females is in the shape of a vermiform gland. [4] [5]

Habitat and behaviour

Species mostly feed on other small soft-bodied arthropods.

They do not perform traumatic insemination, unlike their relatives. [4]
