Caribo Rolston, 1984

Caribo Rolston, 1984: 74, 80-81.

Type Species: Caribo subgibbus Rolston, 1984, by original designation.

Tribal Placement: This genus is considered to be related to Euschistus and allied genera which are tentatively placed in the Carpocorini.

Included Species:
fasciatus Rolston, 1984
maculatus Rider, 1988
