The Thyreocorinae (formerly Thyreocoridae at the family level) are a subfamily of shield bugs, known by common names that include negro bugs or ebony bugs.[1] Some classifications placed them as a subfamily within the broad family Cydnidae; however, Cydnidae now has a more restricted formulation, and the Thyreocorinae are now placed within the Corimelaenidae.[2] They were formerly recognized at the family level as Thyreocoridae by the classifications of Henry & Froeschner[3] and Rider.[4]

Thyreocoridae (Negro Bugs)
These are very small dark brown or black bugs. They are shiny and spheroid-shaped like Lady Beetles, but smaller. Negro Bugs are either completely absent, or appear in large numbers on flowers, where they suck nectar. They are selective in the flowers they visit; Pycnanthemum spp. (Mountain Mints) and Solidago spp. (Goldenrods) are preferred sources of nectar.
