Meropachyinae
Meropachyinae is a subfamily of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least 50 described species in Meropachyinae, recorded from the Americas. Meropachyinae has been commonly spelled "Meropachydinae" in the past, but "Meropachyinae" is now considered correct. Genera These 27 genera belong to the subfamily Meropachyinae: * '' Acocopus'' Stål, 1864 * '' Alcocerniella'' Brailovsky, 1999 * '' Allopeza'' Bergroth, 1912 * '' Badilloniella'' Brailovsky & Barrera, 2001 * '' Diariptus'' Stål, 1860 * '' Egerniella'' Brailovsky, 2000 * '' Esparzaniella'' Brailovsky & Barrera, 2001 * ''Flavius'' Stål, 1862 * ''Gracchus The Gracchi brothers were two Roman brothers, sons of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus who was consul in 177 BC.

Leaf-footed Bug
Coreidae is a large family (biology), family of predominantly sap-sucking insects in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera. The name "Coreidae" derives from the genus ''Coreus'', which derives from the Ancient Greek () meaning bedbug. As a family, the Coreidae are Cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan, but most of the species are tropical or subtropical. Common names and significance The common names of the Coreidae vary regionally. Leaf-footed bug refers to leaf-like expansions on the Insect morphology#Legs, legs of some species, generally on the hind tibiae. In North America, the pest status of species such as ''Anasa tristis'' on squash (plant), squash plants and other Cucurbitaceae, cucurbits gave rise to the name squash bugs. The Coreidae are called twig-wilters or tip-wilters in parts of Africa and Australia because many species feed on young twigs, injecting enzymes that wikt:macerate, macerate the tissues of the growing tips and cause them to wilt abruptly.
