Macroveliidae is a family of macroveliid shore bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are at least four genera in Macroveliidae. [1] [2] [3]
These four genera belong to the family Macroveliidae:
The Gerromorpha comprise an infraorder of insects in the "true bug" order Hemiptera. These "typical" bugs are commonly called semiaquatic bugs or shore-inhabiting bugs. The Ochteroidea (infraorder Nepomorpha are also found in shore habitat, while the Gerromorpha are actually most often encountered running around on the water surface, being kept from sinking by surface tension and their water-repellent legs. Well-known members of the Gerromorpha are the namesake Gerridae.
The Rhyparochromidae are a large family of true bugs. Many species under Rhyparochromidae are commonly referred to as seed bugs, as are other species within the wider Pentatomomorpha. The family includes two subfamilies, more than 420 genera, and over 2,100 described species.
Clastopteridae is a family of spittlebugs in the order Hemiptera. There are at least 10 genera and 100 described species in Clastopteridae.
Rhyparochrominae is a subfamily of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 410 genera and 2,000 described species in Rhyparochrominae.
Rhyparochromini is a tribe of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 40 genera and 360 described species in this tribe.
Ozophorini is a tribe of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 30 genera and 220 described species in Ozophorini.
Oxycarenidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are more than 20 genera and 140 described species in Oxycarenidae.
Mesoveliidae is a family of water treaders in the order Hemiptera. There are about 16 genera and at least 50 described species in Mesoveliidae.
Cymidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are about 12 genera and at least 60 described species in Cymidae.
Geocoridae is a family of big-eyed bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are more than 290 described species in Geocoridae.
Artheneidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. It was formerly included in Lygaeidae. There are about 7 genera and at least 20 described species in Artheneidae.
Antillocorini is a tribe of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 30 genera and 110 described species in Antillocorini.
Pachygronthidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are about 14 genera and more than 80 described species in Pachygronthidae.
Macrovelia is a genus of macroveliid shore bugs in the family Macroveliidae. There is one described species in Macrovelia, M. hornii. It prefers shaded areas and overwinters as an adult.
Thaumastocoridae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are about 9 genera and more than 20 described species in the family Thaumastocoridae.
Ninidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are about 5 genera and 14 described species in Ninidae.
Ceratocombidae is a family of litter bugs in the order Hemiptera. They are closely related to the Dipsocoridae. There are at least 3 genera and 20 described species in Ceratocombidae. The forewing has 2 to 3 large cells and body does not have any strong bristles and there is no central eye bristle. Their diversity is greatest in the Indo-Pacific region.
