This key enables you to identify adults of the Australian Heteroptera (true bugs) to family level. The key includes a main key to superfamily level, and sub-keys that take the identification down to family level.
The key was developed by Dr Gerry Cassis and Michael Elliott of the Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Research at the Australian Museum.
