Lasiochilinae is a subfamily of bugs, in the family Anthocoridae; some authorities place this at family level: "Lasiochilidae".[3] It is most diverse in tropical areas, especially in the New World.[4]

Systematics
Phylogenetic work in 1991[4] and later in 2009[3] suggested that "Lasiochilidae" could be treated as a family separate from Anthocoridae (as well as the recognition of the family Lyctocoridae). This has been followed by some studies[5][6] but not others.[7]
Description
Lasiochilinae are similar to other Anthocoridae (if treated as its own family, it is similar to Lyctocoridae and to Anthocoridae), such as male genitalia being asymmetrical with a reduced right paramere. An apomorphy of the group is the first two abdominal segments having a single pair of dorsal laterotergites, while the rest have a simple tergal plate. The spermatheca of females is in the shape of a vermiform gland.[4][5]
Habitat and behaviour
Species mostly feed on other small soft-bodied arthropods.
They do not perform traumatic insemination, unlike their relatives.[4]
