Coreidae is a large family of predominantly sap-sucking insects in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera.[1] The name "Coreidae" derives from the genus Coreus, which derives from the Ancient Greek κόρις (kóris) meaning bedbug.[2]
As a family, the Coreidae are cosmopolitan, but most of the species are tropical or subtropical.
