Family Pachynomidae Stål 1873

We had followed Harris (1931, 1939, 1943) that treated Aphelonotus Uhler 1894 as a Nabidae , but this genus has now been included in the small family Pachynomidae Stål, 1873 ( Carayon and Villiers, 1968) ; therefore it must be deleted from the catalog of Neotropical Nabidae .

Some authors have considered the family Pachynomidae as related to the Nabidae ( Cobben, 1978) , but all analyses have demostrated that it is the sister group of the Reduviidae ( Schuh and Stys, 1991, Schuh et al. 2009, Weirauch & Munro 2009).
