Taxonomic Notes

The Pseudosaica is classified within the Saicinae, a group of assassin bugs whose members are often morphologically distinctive and ecologically specialized. The specific epithet 'florida' refers to the state of Florida, though the precise type locality and collector information would require examination of the original 1953 description.
