Blissus is a genus in the true bug family Blissidae,[2] commonly called chinch bugs in North America. The review by Slater (1979) listed 27 species.[3] The species B. leucopterus,[4] B. occiduus[5] and B. insularis[6] are important pests of cereal crops and turf grasses in their different ranges in the United States.
