thumb|thumbtime=42|Rhynocoris annulatus looking for prey Rhynocoris (historically often misspelled as "Rhinocoris") is a genus of assassin bug, family (Reduviidae), in the subfamily Harpactorinae. Species are recorded from Asia, mainland Europe, Africa and North America.
==Life history== Species of this genus are noted for providing parental care of offspring. Parental care is unusual in subsocial insects, having only evolved six times in the Heteroptera. R. tristis for example, is well known for guarding egg masses.
