The Petascelini are a tribe of leaf-footed bugs, in the subfamily Coreinae erected (as "Petascelaria") by Carl StÃÂ¥l in 1873. Many genera are from tropical Africa including the type genus Petascelis, but some are from South-East Asia. Ahmad gives key to the tribes of Coreinae including these genera.
