Coreoidea

Gonocerus juniperi, photographed by Ulrich Maurer.

Belongs within: Panheteroptera.

The Coreoidea are a group of plant-feeding bugs, most species of have ocelli and a series of longitudinal accessory veins in the forewing membrane (Carver et al. 1991). Members of the main family, Coreidae, are commonly known as leaf-footed bugs due to the appearance of their enlarged hind tibiae.

Characters (from Carver et al. 1991): Macropterous or brachypterous; brachypters with antennifers inserted dorsolaterally; ocelli present; membrane of hemelytron in macropters with at least 6 and usually many more longitudinal veins; S6 with 3 or fewer trichobothria on each side.
