Family: Urostylididae (Dallas, 1851)
Urostylididae is a family of true bugs and is considered a basal or "primitive" family within the stink-bug lineage. They are found only in Asia. Older works used the spelling Urostylidae but this clashes with the name used for a protozoan family and a spelling correction or emended has been suggested that also avoids the confusion created by homonyms. The family name Urolabididae has also been used for some members in the past. Wikipedia
