Anisoscelini
leaf-footed bugs
Anisoscelini is a tribe of leaf-footed bugs (family Coreidae) characterized by distinctive flattened, leaf-like expansions on the hind tibiae. The tribe comprises approximately 29 genera distributed primarily in the Americas, with greatest diversity in Neotropical regions. Some genera, notably Leptoglossus, have become invasive in Europe and eastern Asia. Members show specialized feeding associations, with some genera exhibiting apparent trophic preferences for Passiflora (passionflowers) and others for conifer species.
