Phyllomorpha is a genus of mostly European coreid bugs, sometimes referred-to as golden egg bugs.
The Coreoidea Species File lists: [2]
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.
Coreoidea is a superfamily of true bugs in the infraorder Pentatomomorpha which includes leaf-footed bugs and allies. There are more than 3,300 described species in Coreoidea.
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.
Coreinae is a subfamily in the hemipteran family Coreidae. They have been shown to be paraphyletic with respect to Meropachyinae.
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.
Acanthocephala is a New World genus of true bugs in the family Coreidae. The name is derived from the Greek akanth- meaning "thorn/spine" + kephale meaning "head", and combined the name would be "spine head". This name is in reference to the spine on the front of the head.
Phyllomorpha laciniata is a species of coreid bug, and one of only two members of the genus Phyllomorpha. They are specific to the host plant Paronychia argentea. It is noted for its habit of laying its eggs on other members of its species, who act as mobile nests. These co-opted egg carriers provide more protection for the eggs than laying them at static locations on plant leaves or stems. While Phyllomorpha laciniata females can and do lay eggs on their host plant, the availability of suitable egg carriers seems to stimulate the deposition of mature eggs.
Elasmopoda is a genus in the "true bug" family Coreidae, order Hemiptera. The genus is native to parts of eastern and southern Africa. The species are large "twig wilter" bugs, generally brown or greyish. The femora of the hind legs are somewhat enlarged and bent, but less than those of some related genera, and either unarmed, or less armed with spikes.
Phyllomorpha lacerata is a species of coreid bug, and one of only two members of the genus Phyllomorpha.
Merocoris is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about eight described species in Merocoris.
Chariesterus is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 12 described species in Chariesterus.
Chariesterini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 4 genera and more than 20 described species in Chariesterini.
Hypselonotus is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 12 described species in Hypselonotus.
Anisoscelis is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 11 described species in the genus Anisoscelis.
Spartocera is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 18 described species in Spartocera.
Euthochtha is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae, containing only one described species, E. galeator. It is sometimes referred to by the common name "helmeted squash bug".
The Micrelytrinae are a subfamily of bugs in the family Alydidae, based on the type genus Micrelytra Laporte, 1833. Genera are recorded from the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Piesma is a genus of ash-grey leaf bugs, insects of the family Piesmatidae. It is the type genus of the family.
Enoplops is a genus of Palaearctic bugs, in the family Coreidae and tribe Coreini. Species are recorded from Europe and includes E. scapha found in the British Isles; there are also records from North Africa and China.
The Gonocerini, synonym Gonocérates are a tribe of leaf-footed bugs, in the subfamily Coreinae. The type genus is GonocerusBerthold, 1827; genera are distributed from Africa, Europe to South-East Asia and Australia.
