Serinethinae is a subfamily of the
nymphs for growth and development. Their diversity is the result of an adaptive radiation on these plants, whose cyanide
-based defenses the bugs have overcome.
Genera
The Coreoidea Species File[2] includes:
- Boisea Kirkaldy, 1910
- Jadera Stål, 1862
- Leptocoris Hahn, 1833
The New World genus Jadera consists of nearly 20 species that range naturally from Kansas to southern Argentina. Jadera haematoloma is a soapberry bug found in Florida known for its rapid adaptive evolution following the introduction of a non-native soapberry plant.[3]
