Leaf-Footed Bugs (Coreidae)

  • Chapter
True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics

Part of the book series: Entomology in Focus ((ENFO,volume 2))

Abstract

The family Coreidae is distributed worldwide, but these phytophagous bugs are most abundant in the tropics and subtropics. In the Neotropical region, all of the subfamilies and 16 tribes are represented. In tropical ecosystems, these bugs feed on herbs and shrubs in open areas of forests as well as at the forest edge. Some species are spectacularly colored, and unusual expansions of antennae, humeral angles, femora, or tibiae occur in many groups. Some of them move lazily even when disturbed and hardly fly to escape; others are extremely nimble, fast flying away when disturbed. They are frequently encountered in crops, representing important pests in several commodities. No one common name is universally accepted for the family, and none of the frequently used names (e.g., squash bug, leatherbug, leaf-footed bug, Randwanzen) are collectively appropriate for all members of the family.

Acknowledgments

PLM thanks Lisonéia Fiorentini Smaniotto and JAMF thanks Murilo Victor Silva Bitar for invaluable assistance with literature searches. The majority of specimens were photographed as part of Leverhulme Trust Project F/00 696 and through research supported by the SYNTHESYS Project which was financed by European Community Research Infrastructure Action under the FP6 “Structuring the European Research Area” Programme. Specimens from the BMNH were prepared by Mick Webb and photographed by Tristan Bantock, Holly Dawson, and Laurence Livermore. All other specimen photographs were taken by Laurence Livermore. The image editing procedure and design templates were developed by Malin Nikunlassi. Image editing was done by Elizabeth Livermore, Laurence Livermore, and Rose Stainthorp. Copyright of individual specimen images remains that of their host collections which are marked by brackets in specimen plate captions. All specimen images are also available from http://coreoidea.speciesfile.org/.

We would like to thank the following photographers who provided field images: Arthur Anker (https://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/), Andreas Kay (https://www.flickr.com/photos/75374522@N06/), and W.O.
