Loxa is an insect genus in the large family of shield bugs. [1] It occurs primarily in Central America and Mexico, but is also found in Texas, Florida and South America. [1] While Loxa is a genus of the tribe Pentatomini, its species are similar in many respects to those in the Chlorocorini, specifically the genera: Chlorocoris Spinola, Chloropepla Stål, Mayrinia Horvath and Fecelia Stål. [2] Some species of Loxa are minor crop pests, for example Loxa deducta. [3]
