Subgenus Tliponius Stål, 1860

This subgenus is equivalent to subgenus Homoeocerus sensu stricto of authors following Distant (1902a: 355) who stated that H. puncticornis Burmeister was the type species of the genus. Kiritshenko (1916a: 68) stated that Tliponius limbatipennis Stål, 1860 was the type species of Tliponius Stål, 1860 but invalidated this designation with the contradictory statement on page 70 of the same work that Homoeocerus puncticornis Burmeister was the type species. Stål (1873a: 60) placed limbatipennis in Anacanthocoris Uhler, which he treated as a division of Homoeocerus separate from his division Tliponius. Most authors treated Tliponius as a synonym of Homoeocerus or, rarely, as a separate genus.
