“…Miridae is the most numerous family among Heteroptera, with 11,139 species described (Schuh, 2013), from which about 1,087 occur in Brazil (Ferreira et al, 2020). Amongst these plant bugs, there are also described phytophagous, fungivorous, saprophagous and predators species (Henry and Wheeler 1988;Wheeler, 2001;Nogueira et al, 2019a). Therefore, this group is particularly important to agriculture, acting as insect-pests to cultivated plants (Carvalho and Afonso, 1977) or as biological control agent in crops (Nogueira et al, 2019a).…”
