  • Acanthocerini

    Acanthocerini leaf-footed bugs

    Acanthocerini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs (family Coreidae) established by Bergroth in 1913. The tribe comprises at least 20 genera and 50 described species, with taxonomic diversity concentrated in South America. Members belong to the subfamily Coreinae and share the general morphology of coreid bugs, including the characteristic leaf-like expansions on the hind legs that give the family its common name.

  • Centrocoris

    Centrocoris is a genus of true bugs in the family Coreidae, subfamily Coreinae, tribe Coreini. It was established by Kolenati in 1845 and contains approximately nine described species distributed across the Palearctic region, particularly in arid and semi-arid zones of Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Species in this genus are characterized by features typical of the Coreini tribe, including elongated bodies and often prominent spines on the pronotum or scutellum.

  • Chariesterus cuspidatus

    Chariesterus cuspidatus is a species of leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae, first described by Distant in 1892. It belongs to the tribe Chariesterini within the subfamily Coreinae. The species has been recorded from parts of North and Central America including Texas, northwestern Mexico, and Panama. Like other members of Coreidae, it is a true bug with piercing-sucking mouthparts. Available information about its biology and ecology remains limited.

  • Coreini

    leaf-footed bugs

    Coreini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae, subfamily Coreinae. The tribe contains at least 20 genera and approximately 70 described species. Members are true bugs (Hemiptera) characterized by the expanded, leaf-like hind tibiae typical of Coreidae. Coreini represents one of the major lineages within the Coreinae, though specific diagnostic features distinguishing it from related tribes require detailed morphological examination.

  • Spartocerini

    Spartocerini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae, comprising approximately 6 genera and at least 60 described species. The tribe is characterized by specific morphological features including prominent and unarmed antennifers, slender legs, and hind coxae separated from each other by a distance greater than from each one to the lateral margin of the body. The conjunctiva lacks a pair of lateral lobes and has a membranous dorsal middle lobe. The tribe is exclusively distributed in the Neotropical region.
