Systematics

Phylogenetic work in 2009 suggested that "Lasiochilidae" could be treated as a family separate from Anthocoridae (as well as the recognition of the family Lyctocoridae),[3] but this does not appear to be widely supported.

Habitat and behaviour

Species mostly feed on other small soft-bodied arthropods.
