The Reduviidae are members of the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera. The family members are almost all predatory, except for a minority that are blood-sucking species of importance as disease vectors. About 7000 species have been described, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera. The name Reduviidae is derived from the type genus, Reduvius. That name, in turn, comes from the Latin reduvia, meaning "hangnail" or "remnant". Possibly this name was inspired by the lateral flanges on the abdomen of many species. Among others, the family include the assassin bugs genera:

  • The Reduviidae are members of the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera. The family members are almost all predatory, except for a minority that are blood-sucking species of importance as disease vectors. About 7000 species have been described, making it one of the largest families in the Hemiptera. The name Reduviidae is derived from the type genus, Reduvius. That name, in turn, comes from the Latin reduvia, meaning "hangnail" or "remnant". Possibly this name was inspired by the lateral flanges on the abdomen of many species. Among others, the family include the assassin bugs genera: * Lopodytes * Melanolestes * Platymeris * Pselliopus * Rasahus * Reduvius * Rhiginia * Sinea * Zelus Some genera and subfamilies have more particular common names that are reasonably widely recognized, such as: * Ambush bugs (subfamily Phymatinae) * Thread-legged bugs (subfamily Emesinae, including the genus Emesaya) * Kissing or cone-headed bugs Triatominae, unusual in that most species are blood-suckers and several are important disease vectors * Wheel bugs (Arilus cristatus)
