Ghilianella is a genus of true bug in the subfamily Emesinae.[1] Fifty-eight species have been described, with a distribution from Guatemala to Brazil.[2][3] The linear form of the species in this genus allow the young larvae to be carried about by the mother or perhaps the father.[4] The larvae of the young can curl around the parent's thorax.

The genus can be recognized by the laterally acute prolonged apical last abdominal segments.
