'''''Liocoris''''' is a genus of plant bugs belonging to the family [Miridae](/source/Miridae), subfamily [Mirinae](/source/Mirinae). It has only one species.

In 1955 it was briefly considered as the home of the "[''Lygus'' bugs](/source/Lygus)" due to the morphological studies of Leonard A. Kelton,<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Kelton, Leonard A.|year=1955 |title=Genera and subgenera of the ''Lygus'' complex (Hemiptera: Miridae)|journal=The Canadian Entomologist|volume=87|issue=7|pages=277–301|doi=10.4039/ent87277-7}}</ref> but the decision of the [International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature](/source/International_Commission_on_Zoological_Nomenclature) (ICZN) in 1963<ref>International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature Opinion 667 (1963)</ref> allowed them to stay in genus ''[Lygus](/source/Lygus)''.<ref>{{Cite book|author1=Henry, Thomas J. |author2=Lattin, J.
