Rhyparochromidae
The Rhyparochromidae are a large family of true bugs (order Hemiptera), many of which are commonly referred to as seed bugs. The family includes two subfamilies, more than 420 genera, and over 2,100 described species. Rhyparochromidae are small and generally brown or mottled. The fore femora are often enlarged. The name Rhyparochromidae comes from the Greek words ''rhyparos'', meaning "dirt", and ''chromus'', meaning "color". The Rhyparochromidae were previously classified as a subfamily of Lygaeidae. Subfamilies and Tribes The family Rhyparochromidae has two subfamilies, Plinthisinae with only 2 genera, and Rhyparochrominae with more than 400 genera in 14 tribes: : Antillocorini : Cleradini : Drymini : Gonianotini : Lethaeini : Lilliputocorini : Megalonotini : Myodochini : Ozophorini : Phasmosomini : Rhyparochromini : Stygnocorini : Targaremini : Udeocorini See also * List of Rhyparochrominae genera These 434 genera belong to Rhyparochrominae, a subfamily of dirt-col ...

Palearctic
The Palearctic or Palaearctic is the largest of the eight biogeographic realms of the Earth. It stretches across all of Eurasia north of the foothills of the Himalayas, and North Africa. The realm consists of several bioregions: the Euro-Siberian region; the Mediterranean Basin; the Sahara and Arabian Deserts; and Western, Central and East Asia. The Palaearctic realm also has numerous rivers and lakes, forming several freshwater ecoregions. The term 'Palearctic' was first used in the 19th century, and is still in use as the basis for zoogeographic classification. History In an 1858 paper for the ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society'', British zoologist Philip Sclater first identified six terrestrial zoogeographic realms of the world: Palaearctic, Aethiopian/Afrotropic, Indian/Indomalayan, Australasian, Nearctic, and Neotropical. The six indicated general groupings of fauna, based on shared biogeography and large-scale geographic barriers to migration. Alfred Wallace a ...
