Overview
[ Back to top ]
Corioxenidae are an insect family of the order Strepsiptera. Species in this family are parasites of Heteropteran bugs including Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae, Cydnidae, Coreidae and Lygaeidae. The males lack mandibles. Three subfamilies within this family are recognized. The subfamilies are separated using morphology of the males, particularly on the basis of the number of tarsi and the presence of tarsal claws.1]
