Note: the status of Lygocoris and related genera is unclear and awaits a comprehensive revision (see Schwartz and Cherot 2005). Some authors regard Neolygus only as a subgenus of Lygocoris. I provisionally accept genus status for Neolygus, based on the morphological differences detailed in the key in Yasunaga et al. 2002.
