Entre estos se destaca el trabajo de HENRY (1997a), quien reconoce seis superfamilias (Aradoidea, Coreoidea, Idiostoloidea, Lygaeoidea, Pentatomoidea y Pyrrhocoroidea) y plantea la polifilia de Lygaeidae (sensu SCHUH & SLATER, 1995).
Clave ilustrada para la identificacion de las familias de Pentatomomorpha (Hemiptera-Heteroptera) de distribucion neotropical
In his analyses Pentatomoidea is the sister group of the remaining Pentatomomorpha, i.e., ((Coreoidea + Pyrrhocoroidea) + (Idiostoloidea + Lygaeoidea sensu stricto)).
In the combined parsimony analysis, Lygaeoidea (sensu Henry 1997) is paraphyletic with respect to Berytidae and Piesmatidae, the latter two nested within a paraphyletic Pyrrhocoroidea. Having a paraphyletic Lygaeoidea may not be surprising because of the limited taxon sampling within the superfamily, in which only four out of 15 groups (as in Henry 1997) were included.
