Lygaeoidea
The Lygaeoidea are a sizeable superfamily of true bugs, containing seed bugs and allies, in the order Hemiptera. There are about 16 families and more than 4,600 described species in Lygaeoidea, found worldwide. Most feed on seeds or sap, but a few are predators. The ash-gray leaf bug family (Piesmatidae) is generally considered a member of the superfamily Lygaeoidea, but in the past it was sometimes placed in its own superfamily. Families These 16 families belong to the superfamily Lygaeoidea. The majority of them were considered to be part of the family Lygaeidae before Thomas J. Henry's work was published in 1997. * Artheneidae Stål, 1872 * Berytidae Fieber, 1851 (stilt bugs) * Blissidae Stål, 1862 * Colobathristidae Stal, 1865 * Cryptorhamphidae Hamid, 1971 * Cymidae Baerensprung, 1860 * Geocoridae Baerensprung, 1860 (big-eyed bugs) * Heterogastridae Stål, 1872 * Lygaeidae Schilling, 1829 (seed bugs) * Malcidae Stål, 1865 * Meschiidae Malipatil, 2013 * Nini ...

Blissidae
The Blissidae are a family in the Hemiptera (true bugs), comprising nearly 50 genera and 400 species. The group has often been treated as a subfamily of the Lygaeidae but was resurrected as a full family by Thomas Henry (1997). The adult insects are elongate, typically four times as long as broad, and in some species, up to seven times. Short wings are common in many species. All the species feed on the sap of plants, mostly grasses, and most of the species live between the sheaths of leaves. The most economically important species is the true chinch bug, ''Blissus leucopterus'', a destructive pest of maize, corn crops in the United States.
