The Blissidae are a family in the Hemiptera (true bugs), comprising nearly 50 genera and 400 species.[2] The group has often been treated as a subfamily of the Lygaeidae but was resurrected as a full family by Thomas Henry (1997).[3]

The adult insects are elongate, typically four times as long as broad, and in some species, up to seven times. Short-winged forms are common in many species.

All the species feed on the sap of plants, mostly grasses, and most of the species live between the sheaths of leaves.[2] The most economically important species is the true chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus, a destructive pest of corn crops in the United States.
