Liocoris is a genus of plant bugs belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. It has only one species.
In 1955 it was briefly considered as the home of the " Lygus bugs" due to the morphological studies of Leonard A. Kelton, [1] but the decision of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) in 1963 [2] allowed them to stay in genus Lygus. [3] The species that Kenton described in 1955 as Liocoris are now classified as Lygus. [4]
