	Reduviidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reduviidae is a family of predatory insects in the suborder Heteroptera.
		Some species are also able to spit their venom at the eyes of predators from up to a foot away.

		Glandular areas associated with the male genitalic segments in Reduviidae are known so far only from the description of "hypodermal glandular areas" in the intersegmental membrane of segments 8 and 9 by Barth (1980) in Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834).
		Descriptions of the pygophore and the phallus in Triatominae and other Reduviidae are abundant (Davis 1966, Jurberg 1977, Schaefer 1999), but these descriptions and illustrations largely fail to depict the interconnection of these two structures.
		In addition, in Reduviidae, the lateral pygophore rim possesses two pairs of infolding membranous lobes, the dorsal surfaces of which may be sclerotised.

	Kissing bugs (Triatoma) and the skin
		Kissing bugs (Family Reduviidae) can be the source of nocturnal dermatologic wounds in the mid to southern latitudes in the United States.
		The insects are obligate blood feeders and though the bites may be asymptomatic, a variety of dermatologic eruptions or death from anaphylaxis can result.
		Most hemipterans are familiar to us as plant feeders (leafhoppers, aphids, stinkbugs), however, the family Reduviidae consists of predatory and parasitic insects, one group of which are obligatory blood-feeders that seek out mammals for their meals.

	Kissing Bugs in the Americas Final
		Of this order, the subfamily triatominae (reduviidae), commonly known as the kissing bug, is particularly interesting because several genera of triatominae; triatoma, rhodnius, and panstrongylus can be the vectors of the deadly protozoon Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi).
		Reduviidae bugs can be difficult to identified because their appearance varies greatly between genera and there are over 100 species all of the family redviidae.
		Reduviidae bugs usually bite on exposed skin while a person is sleeping.

		There are more than 160 species in the family Reduviidae (the assassin bugs, ambush bugs, and thread-legged bugs) in North America, many of which are fairly common.
		Most assassin bugs are medium-sized to large predators of crop pests, but the family does contain a few blood-sucking species.
		Their prey is mostly large bees, wasps and flies, so they do not contribute much to insect pest control in plantings.
