The Biogeographical Distribution of Species of the Superfamily Coreoidea: Hemiptera in India

Coreoidea is a large Superfamily of predominantly herbivorus insects that belong in the Hemipteran Suborder Heteroptera. The Superfamily Coreoidea is divided into 4 families namely Coreiddae, Stenocephalidae, Alydidae, Rhopalidae but the Coreoidea as a whole are part of a close-knit group with the Lygaeoidea and Pyrrhocoroidea and it is likely that these three super families are paraphyletic to a significant extent. They are therefore in need of revision and red limitation. There are more than 3400 species recorded in the world.
