Ectrichodiinae, Amyot & Serville, 1843

Gil-Santana, Hélcio R., 2019, New records, taxonomic notes, and the description of a new species of Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Ecuador, Zootaxa 4613 (3), pp. 502-520 : 503

Subfamily Ectrichodiinae

There are 22 genera and more than 100 described species of Ectrichodiinae in the New World (Gil-Santana et al. 2015). Gil-Santana et al. (2015) provided a summary of the taxonomy of this group and a key to the genera of the New World. Because of the lack of consensus of previous authors about the validity or recognition of some genera ( Dougherty 1995, Carpintero & Maldonado 1996), there is a need of a taxonomic revision and a phylogenetic analysis of all these genera (Gil-Santana et al. 2015).
