The Deraeocorinae are a subfamily of the soft bugs (Miridae) from the suborder Cimicomorpha . About 115 genera are known. There are 29 species in Europe and 15 in Central Europe.

features

The monophyly of the subfamily is justified by the following autapomorphies : A round collar is formed on the pronotum , the claws are toothed at the base, their parempodia are bristle-shaped and pulvilli are not developed.

The bugs have certain similarities with those of the tribe Mirini and also show certain similarities in the structures of the genitals, so that a sister group relationship between the Deraeocorinae and the Mirinae could be possible. Many representatives of the Deraeocorinae have a smoothly polished and dotted back side, which clearly distinguishes them from most other soft bugs. Few of them are dull colored and show no pits (tribe Termatophylini ), others are dull and strongly dotted and their body is sometimes covered like wool (tribe Clivinemini ).

Way of life

The representatives of the Deraeocorinae are almost all predatory and live in the herbaceous and woody layer.

Taxonomy and systematics

The Deraeocorinae comprise the following six tribes:

The following tribes and species occur in Europe:

Tribe Clivinematini

Tribe Deraeocorini

Tribe Hyaliodini
