The Progonocimicidae are an extinct family of true bugs in the suborder Coleorrhyncha. Progonocimicidae fossils have been found in Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.[1][2]

Families preserved in the fossil record of Coleorrhyncha include the early Progonocimicidae, and the later Karabasiidae and Hoploridiidae. The only extant family in Coleorrhyncha is Peloridiidae.[2][3][4] The family is thought to have evolved from the Permian Ingruidae.[5]
