The Scutelleridae are members of the Pentatomoidea, and are subdivided into four subfamilies. The genus Pachycoris is in the Pachycorinae, and is distributed mainly in the New World. Immature stages of Pachycoris stallii Uhler were collected from Croton californicus Muell.-Arg. in Baja California, México. Descriptions and illustrations were made after analysis and measurement of morphological characters with binocular and electron microscopes.
