The present study examines the rhyparochromine tribe Myodochini at the generic level on a world basis.A key to 56 genera is provided and diagnoses and brief summary descriptions of sa- lient morphological features are given for all gen- era.Thirteen new genera (Ashlockaria, Bacaceph- alus, Ereminellus, Froeschneria, Humilocoris, Megacholula, Neopamera, Paracholula, Para- paromius, Pseudoparomius, Slaterobius, Stalar- ia, and Stridulocoris) and the new species Megacholula englemani are described.The following new synonymies are made: Ex- ptochiomera with Prytanes; Neocattarus with Cholula; Sphaerobius with Erlacda; and Sphaero- bius gracilis with Erlacda arhaphaeoides.
