Placement: StDl
(1865) treated Aeliomorpha as a subgenus of Pentatoma which
also included a number of other subgenera generally considered to be members
of the Carpocorini. In 1876, he keyed it in its own group, but indicated
that its habitus was similar to Aelia. Atkinson (1888) treated it as
a member of the Diploxyaria (= Diploxyini). Lethierry & Severin (1893) and
Kirkaldy (1909) both catalogued it between Aeschrocoris and
Aeshrus, both members of the Aeschrocorini (Atkinson had included
these two genera in his Diploxyini also). Distant (1902) included it in the
Dymantaria which is a synonym of the Myrocheini. Most recent workers have
considered it to be a member of the Aeliini, except Cachan (1952) who placed
it in the Carpocoraria (= Carpocorini) and Linnavuori (1982) who placed it
in its own generic group. I tentatively follow StDl
and Cachan in placing this genus in the Carpocorini.
