The term "Coreidae" denotes the family of dark-colored hemipteran insects (Hemiptera) of approximately 10 mm in length, belonging to the superfamily Coreoidea. In this family one will find what is more commonly called leaf-footed bugs and squash bugs. Actually the squash bug (Anasa tristis) is a well-known species within the Coreidae - leaf-footed bug family. Insects of this family are characterized by the many veins in the membranes of their forward wings and by their injurious saliva which severely damages plants such as squash, cucumbers and melons. Related terms: squash bug, Anasa tristis, Leptoglossus phyllopus. 2, record 1, English, - leaf%2Dfooted%20bugs

Selon le contexte, on peut parler indifféremment de « Coreidae » (terme d'origine latine, au pluriel), des coréidés ou de corées. Pour éviter toute confusion on devrait réserver « Coreidae » pour le nom de la famille d'insectes, « corée » pour le nom populaire d'une espèce en particulier de cette famille, (par exemple : corée marginée, traduction française du latin « Coreus marginatus ») et « coréidé » pour un type non identifié de cette famille (par exemple : cette région a été envahi par des coréidés). 3, record 1, French, - cor%C3%A9id%C3%A9s
