Hemiodoecus

Hemiodoecus is a genus of moss bug. It was first identified from a northwestern Tasmania specimen by William Edward China in 1924, and Hemiodoecus leai became the type species. In 1982, Evans concluded that Hemiodoecus was, of known genera, the earliest evolved Australian genus of the Peloridiidae, based upon morphology and distribution. He further suggested that it gave rise to the genera Hemiowoodwardia and Hackeriella, both of which he had originally classified as Hemiodoecus.
