Cydnocoris is a genus of assassin bugs found in tropical Asia. It has been suggested that this genus be either treated as a synonym of Cutocoris Stål, 1859 or the later name be suppressed.[1]
Cydnocoris gilvus has been considered a potential biological control agent against Helopeltis as it is mass-culturable with low cannibalism.[2] A post-mortem on a patient found that death had been caused by choking from inflamed throat caused by a Cydnocoris gilvus that had been accidentally ingested.[3]
Species in the genus include:
