   Do assassin bugs have competing interests?

   • Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. Assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) are the largest clade of predatory non-holometabolous insects (∼6,800 described species) , and one of the largest clades of predatory animals.

   Are assassin bugs a predatory animal?

   • Assassin bugs are one of the most successful clades of predatory animals based on their species numbers (∼6,800 spp.) and wide distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. Various novel prey capture strategies and remarkable prey specializations contribute to their appeal as a model to study evolutionary pathways involved in predation.

   Are raptorial legs related to assassin bugs?

   • When evaluating the evolution of raptorial legs across Reduvioidea based on the T + R phylogeny, we find that the fossula spongiosa, which has long been implicated to be associated with raptorial behaviors in assassin bugs 16, 59, 60, was indeed present in the last common ancestors of Reduvioidea and Reduviidae.

   What is the phylogeny of assassin bugs?

   • Recent studies on the phylogeny of assassin bugs have made great advances using multilocus or morphological data, and the monophyly of many of the 27 reduvioid subfamilies and certain larger clades are now corroborated 2, 5, 20, 22, 27, 29.

   Which clade consists of millipede assassin bugs?

   • A clade that comprises the millipede assassin bugs (Ectrichodiinae) and the spider-web inhabiting thread-legged bugs (Emesinae), amongst other subfamilies (Saicinae, Tribelocephalinae), was moderately supported (bs = 85% [T + R]), corroborating a hypothesis based on weak morphological support 27.
