Insects

Heteroptera Classification

Several alternative classifications are in use for the Hemiptera-Heteroptera-Homoptera group of the Insecta. The classification adopted in Nomina Insecta Nearctica is to avoid the term Hemiptera and divide the complex into two orders Heteroptera and Homoptera. A commonly accepted alternative is to use a single order Hemiptera divided (in North America) into three suborders; Heteroptera, Sternorrhyncha, and Auchenorrhyncha. The Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha are the two main subdivisions of the Homoptera in the sense of this check list. This latter classification seems to be gaining in acceptance.

The Heteroptera have been compiled primarily from the monumental: Henry, T.J., and R.C. Froeschner [editors]. 1988. Catalog of the Heteroptera, or True Bugs, of Canada and the Continental United States. E.J. Brill. Leiden. 958 pp. The classification given below follows this publication.
