The Blissidae are a family in the Hemiptera (true bugs), comprising nearly 50 genera and 400 species.

[2] The group has often been treated as a subfamily of the Lygaeidae but was resurrected as a full family by Thomas Henry (1997).

Short wings are common in many species.

[2] The most economically important species is the true chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus, a destructive pest of corn crops in the United States.

These 54 genera of the family Blissidae are listed in the Lygaeoidea Species File:[4][2]
