Coridius is a genus of dinidorid bugs. They suck sap mainly from plants belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. About forty species are known with a native distribution mainly in Africa and Asia.[1] Several species are eaten in parts of South and Southeast Asia.[2] Some species have extended into Europe and are considered as pests on cucurbit crops.
