The Stenopodainae are a subfamily of Reduviidae (assassin bugs). Many species of this subfamily are endemic to tropical rainforests, and some smear their fore legs with sticky, plant-derived resin, to aid in prey capture. [1]
These 22 genera belong to the subfamily Stenopodainae:

Ghilianella phasma is a species of assassin bug in the subfamily Emesinae. It is found on the Indian subcontinent and in Myanmar. There is some debate about whether this species may belong in the genus Schidium. William Lucas Distant placed the species in Ghilianella but Ernst Evald Bergroth and Pedro Wygodzinsky moved it to Schidium. In his 1990 work of the Reduviidae of the world, Moldonado doubted the Schidium placement.
The Harpactorinae are a large subfamily of the Reduviidae. About 300 genera and 2,000 species worldwide have been described. Some of the species of the genera Zelus, Pselliopus, Sinea, and Apiomerus are of interest as biological pest control agents.
Stenolemus is a genus of thread-legged bug (Emesinae). Species of this genus are noted for preying on spiders.
The Emesini is a tribe of thread-legged bugs.
The Leistarchini is a tribe of thread-legged bugs.
The Metapterini are a tribe of thread-legged bugs, assassin bugs of subfamily Emesinae.
Ploiariolini is a tribe of thread-legged bugs, comprising 16 genera and 142 described species. Ploiariolini has a worldwide distribution.
Onychomesa is a little-known genus of thread-legged bug in the subfamily Emesinae. Three species have been described, one from India, Japan, and Taiwan.
The Fidicinini are a tribe of cicadas. There are at least 20 genera and 250 described species in Fidicinini, found in the Nearctic and Palearctic.
Harpactorini is a tribe of the Harpactorinae. This group is the most diverse of the entire assassin bug family, with 51 genera recognized in the Neotropical Region and 289 genera and 2003 species overall.
Sphedanolestes is a large genus of assassin bugs in the family (Reduviidae), subfamily Harpactorinae. There are more than 190 described species, which are found in southern Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Reduviinae are a subfamily of the reduviid assassin bugs. Many members of the subfamily are nocturnal and their lifecycles are generally poorly known. This subfamily is suspected not to be monophyletic.
The Peiratinae are a subfamily of assassin bugs (Reduviidae) known as corsairs. The subfamily has a worldwide distribution, but concentrated in tropical areas. About 30 genera with 350 species are described.
Saicinae is a subfamily of the family Reduviidae, or the assassin bugs.
Pygolampis is a genus of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae. Five species have been described from Vietnam, and at least eleven worldwide.
Coreini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 20 genera and 70 described species in Coreini.
Carpocorini is a tribe of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about 15 genera and at least 50 described species in Carpocorini.
Membracinae is a subfamily of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 40 genera in Membracinae.
Nematopodini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 20 genera and 160 described species in Nematopodini.
Salyavatinae are a subfamily of the assassin bugs. They have a pan-tropical distribution with about 16 genera. They have two foretarsal segments and have a patch of fine hairs known as the fossula spongiosa on the fore and mid tibia. Many species tend to have spines on the head, pronotum, legs and abdomen. A few species have the foretibia flattened into leaf-like structures.
