In some states of Mexico, 14 families, 51 genera and 146 species of edible insects of the order Hemiptera were registered; they belong to the families: Belostomatidae (3 genera, 7 species), Corixidae (6-13), Notonectidae (1-2), Lygaeidae (1-1), Coreidae (9-20), Pentatomidae (5-58), Rhopalidae (1-1), Pyrrhocoridae (1-1), Cicadidae (7-22), Dactylopiidae (1-4), Membracidae (4-7), Aethalionidae (1-6), Fulgoridae (1-3) and Kerridae (1-1). The Pentatomidae family presents the highest number of genera (14) and species (57). Their distribution by localities is indicated; these correspond to the municipalities of the different states so far sampled. Likewise, we report various forms in which they are prepared and the economic importance of, for example, the ‘Jumiles’ of the genus Euschistus and Edessa that are widely looked for, collected, accepted as part of the diet, consumed and marketed, is discussed.
