The Heteroptera is a group of about 40,000 species of insects in the Hemiptera. They are typical bugs.
"Heteroptera" is Greek for "different wings": most species have front wings with both membranous and hardened portions (called hemelytra.
The name "Heteroptera" is used in two different ways in modern classifications. In Linnean nomenclature it is a suborder of the order Hemiptera. In cladistics it is an unranked clade in the Hemiptera clade.[1]
