Meropachyinae is a subfamily of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 50 described species in Meropachyinae, recorded from the Americas. [1] [2]
Meropachyinae has been commonly spelled "Meropachydinae" in the past, but "Meropachyinae" is now considered correct. [3]
These 27 genera belong to the subfamily Meropachyinae:
Coreidae is a large family of predominantly sap-sucking insects in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera. The name "Coreidae" derives from the genus Coreus, which derives from the Ancient Greek κόρις (kóris) meaning bedbug.
Alydidae, commonly known as broad-headed bugs, is a family of true bugs very similar to the closely related Coreidae. There are at least 60 genera and 300 species altogether. Distributed in the temperate and warmer regions of the Earth, most are tropical and subtropical animals; for example Europe has a mere 10 species, and only 2 of these occur outside the Mediterranean region.
Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family and the tribe Anisoscelini. Species are distributed throughout the Americas, with some records in eastern & southern Asia and Europe. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Several species are of economic importance, and one species, L. chilensis, has been reported to bite humans.
Anisoscelini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. It was formerly spelled Anisoscelidini, but the tribal name spelling was incorrectly formed.
Thasus is an insect genus of the Coreidae, or leaf-footed bugs. It is a genus in the New World Nematopodini tribe that feeds on plants. It is chiefly found in Central America, but species also occur in South America, and as far north as the American Southwest.
The Blissidae are a family in the Hemiptera, comprising nearly 50 genera and 400 species. The group has often been treated as a subfamily of the Lygaeidae but was resurrected as a full family by Thomas Henry (1997).
Acanthocephalini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 100 described species in Acanthocephalini found in the Americas.
Geocoridae is a family of big-eyed bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are more than 290 described species in Geocoridae.
Pseudophloeinae is a subfamily of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 100 described species in Pseudophloeinae, distributed worldwide.
Catorhintha is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are more than 30 described species in Catorhintha.
Piezogaster is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 30 described species in Piezogaster.
Vazquezitocoris is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 14 described species in Vazquezitocoris.
Anisoscelis is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 11 described species in the genus Anisoscelis.
Mozena is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are more than 30 described species in Mozena.

Savius is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about nine described species in Savius.
Discogastrini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 8 genera and more than 40 described species in Discogastrini.
