Se resume el conocimiento taxonómico de la fauna Mexicana de la familia Naucoridae, el cual es bastante completo debido a estudios recientes. Actualmente se encuentran registradas para el país 71 species pertenecientes a seis géneros y cuatro subfamilias. La riqueza de especies está distribuida en las subfamilias Cryphocricinae: Ambrysus Stål (53), Cataractocoris Usinger (3), Cryphocricos Signoret (2); Laccocorinae: Interocoris La Rivers (1); Limnocorinae: Limnocoris Stål (10); and Naucorinae: Pelocoris Stål (2). Trabajos recientes han enfocado su atención en el estudio del género Ambrysus. Adicionalmente se requieren estudios de los géneros Cryphocricos y Pelocoris, mientras que la revision taxonómica del género Limnocoris está cerca de ser finalizada. Se proporciona una clave para la identificación de las subfamilias y géneros de Naucoridae de México.References
