Coreidae, taxonomic key, GonoceriniAbstract
Gonocerini is a tribe within the large and widely distributed family of insects, Coreidae Leach, 1815. The Gonocerini, as well as many other tribes of Coreidae, lack complete identification keys and existing partial keys are outdated. Here, we use taxonomic descriptions, type images, and distribution data to create a dichotomous key to all 11 genera of Gonocerini based primarily on morphological characteristics.Metrics
