The Thyreocorinae (formerly Thyreocoridae at the family level) are a subfamily of shield bugs, known by common names that include negro bugs or ebony bugs.[1] Some classifications placed them as a subfamily within the broad family Cydnidae; however, Cydnidae now has a more restricted formulation, and the Thyreocorinae are now placed within the Corimelaenidae.[2] They were formerly recognized at the family level as Thyreocoridae by the classifications of Henry & Froeschner[3] and Rider.[4]
