Chlorochroa Stål, 1872
 

Lioderma Uhler, 1871: 97. (junior homonym of Lioderma Marseul, 1857, Coleoptera, and Lioderma Bronn, 1860, insertae sedis)

Lioderma (Chlorochroa) Stål, 1872: 33.

Lioderma (Rhytidolomia) Stål, 1872: 33. (still recognized as a valid subgenus)

Chlorochroa: Distant, 1880: 63-64.

Pitedia Reuter, 1888: 494. (syn. by Thomas, 1983)

Liodermion Kirkaldy, 1904: 280. (unnecessary new name for Lioderma Uhler, 1871)

Type species: Lioderma: Pentatoma saucia Say, 1832, by subsequent designation (Kirkaldy, 1909). Chlorochroa: Pentatoma ligata Say, 1831, by subsequent designation (Kirkaldy, 1909).  Rhytidolomia: Pentatoma senilis Say, 1831, by subsequent designation (Kirkaldy, 1909).  Pitedia: Cimex juniperinus Linnaeus, 1758, by monotypy.

Comments: Three Old World species (juniperina, pinicola, & reuteriana).  The New World species fall into two subgenera.  Buxton, Thomas, & Froeschner (1983) reviewed the sayi species group of the nominate subgenus; Thomas (1983) reviewed the remaining species in the nominate genus and the subgenus Rhytidolomia.  Scudder & Thomas (1987) reviewed the Canadian species.
