Abstract
The classification of the Reduvioid bugs has long remained in an unsettled state. Stål‗s masterful classification (1872, 1873) is still our best and only reference for subfamilies and genera and Reuter's general classification of the Heteroptera (1910) remains as the standard for higher groups. Evidence from the male genitalia (Singh-Pruthi, 1925) and from the mandibular levers (Ekblom, 1929) has since shown clearly that the semi-aquatic Mesoveliidae and Hebridae belong elsewhere. Despite a truly remarkable diversity, the group as thus restricted is apparently monophyletic.Keywords
