Ceratocombidae
minute litter bugs
Ceratocombidae is a family of minute litter bugs in the order Hemiptera, classified within the infraorder Dipsocoromorpha and superfamily Dipsocoroidea. The family comprises at least three genera—Astemma, Ceratocombus, and Leptonannus—with approximately 20 described species. Members are small, cryptic insects associated with decomposing organic matter in forest habitats. Their diversity is greatest in the Indo-Pacific region, though species occur across North America, Europe, Madagascar, and the Oriental region.
Nannocoris
Nannocoris is a genus of minute true bugs in the family Schizopteridae, first described by Reuter in 1891. These insects belong to the infraorder Dipsocoromorpha, a group of small, often overlooked predatory or mycophagous bugs. Members of this genus are characterized by their diminutive size and cryptic habits. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with limited species-level descriptions and biological data available.
