FAMILY COREIDAE LEACH

MARIA DEL CARMEN COSCARÓN

Argentina records number 135 species in 55 genera. Bergroth (1913a, 126) tabulated the subfamily and tribes and changed the limits of several of the tribes as previously used by Lethierry and Severin (1894).

Schaefer (1964, 1965) began a series of studies on the status of various suprageneric categories in the superfamily Coreoidea . He separated the Alydidae , Coreidae , and Rhopalidae . In the Coreidae he recognized the subfamilies Agriopocorinae , Coreinae , Meropachydinae , and Pseudophloeinae , keyed in Schuh and Slater (1995, 275).

Papers by Schaefer (1964, 1965, 1968), O’Shea (1979, 1980a and 1980b), O’Shea and Schaefer (1978), and Li (1996, 1997) treated subfamily and/or tribal values.

For the study of New World Coreidae, Packauskas (1994) is indispensable with keys to three subfamilies and 15 tribes and a checklist of published keys to genera and species. Packauskas (2010) also produced a catalog of the Coreidae of the New World, Coreoidea Species File Online was taken account.
