Phloeidae is a family of true bugs belonging to the order Hemiptera.[1] They are commonly known as Neotropical bark bugs due to their South American distribution, cryptic coloration, and flattened body.[2]
Distribution
Though these insects are found mainly in Brazil, some authors have reported their presence in French Guiana, Argentina, and Chile.[2] There is little evidence to support their presence in Chile, but various citizen science reports suggest their presence in French Guiana and Argentina.[2]
Taxonomy
This family includes two genera and three species:[2]
- Phloea Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1825
- Phloeophana
- Phloeophana longirostris (Spinola, 1837)[2]
