Hemiptera Coreinae Acanthocephalini Anisoscelini Leptoscelini Bellamynocoris Coribergia Dalmatomammurius Kalinckascelis Leptopelios Leptostellana Leptoscelis Malvana Malvanaioides Onoremia Phthia Plunentis Sephinioides Ugnius

Abstract

The coreine tribe Leptoscelini is subsumed under the tribe Anisoscelini, which receives the genera Leptoscelis LaPorte, Malvana Stål and Phthia Stål. The genus Amblyomia Stål, lacking numerous characters of the tribe, is placed in incertae sedis. Other genera tentatively placed in the tribe include: Coribergia Casini, Dalmatomammurius Brailovsky, Kalinckascelis Brailovsky, Leptopelios Brailovsky, Leptostellana Brailovsky, Malvanaioides Brailovsky, Onoremia Brailovsky, Plunentis Stål, and Sephinioides Brailovsky. Ugnius Stål and Bellamynocoris Brailovsky are removed from Acanthocephalini to Anisoscelini.
