“…The halticines are a group of mostly small, shiny, black mirids, with a dorsoventrally elongate head, often with silvery scalelike dorsal setae set in scattered patches, simple parameres, and a mostly membranous endosoma with two sclerotized spiculi (Tatarnic and Cassis 2012 ).…”

The Miridae, or plant bugs, with more than 1,300 genera and 11,130 described species, represent the largest and most diverse family of Heteroptera. Although many plant bugs are phytophagous and may cause serious damage to crops, a great many are predatory and may be important in biological control programs. In the Neotropics, about 561 genera and more than 3,400 species are included in seven of the world's eight recognized subfamilies. In this chapter, we give an overview of the classifi cation, general life history, and economic importance and provide identifi cation keys to the Neotropical subfamilies and tribes. For each subfamily, we present a brief diagnosis, an overview of the respective tribes and subtribes, and key literature.

The order Hemiptera includes jumping insects with the fastest takeoff velocities, all generated by catapult mechanisms. It also contains the large family Miridae or plant bugs. Here, we analysed the jumping strategies and mechanisms of six mirid species from high-speed videos and from the anatomy of their propulsive legs, and conclude that they use a different mechanism in which jumps are powered by the direct contractions of muscles. Three strategies were identified. First, jumping was propelled only by movements of the middle and hind legs, which were, respectively, 140% and 190% longer than the front legs. In three species with masses ranging from 3.4 to 12.2 mg, depression of the coxo-trochanteral and extension of femoro-tibial joints accelerated the body in 8-17 ms to take-off velocities of 0.5-0.8 m s . The middle legs lost ground contact 5-6 ms before take-off so that the hind legs generated the final propulsion. The power requirements could be met by the direct muscle contractions so that catapult mechanisms were not implicated. Second, other species combined the same leg movements with wing beating to generate take-off during a wing downstroke. Third, up to four wingbeat cycles preceded take-off and were not assisted by leg movements. Take-off velocities were reduced and acceleration times lengthened. Other species from the same habitat did not jump. The lower take-off velocities achieved by powering jumping by direct muscle contractions may be offset by eliminating the time taken to load catapult mechanisms.

Abstract. Based on the field investigations in the past and all published literatures, we studied the faunal composition and distributional pattern of Miridae (Hemiptera) from the Hulun Buir City, Inner Mongolia of China. In total, 122 species, which belonging to 4 subfamilies 51 genera were recorded in there. In general, Miridae species were concentrated in the western areas of Hulun Buir City; where mainly was the Hulun Buir Grassland. From each subfamily distributional situation, Mirinae was distributed the most extensive, relatively the most dispersed; followed by Orthotylinae. The distribution of Phylinae was showed two transverse bands. And Deraeocorinae was the sparsest. The similarity coefficient of NDS and WDS is the highest (0.6143), which performance for medium similarity. And rest any two subregions all showed medium not similarity. The natural environment (climate, soil type, vegetation type), human disturbance and physiological characteristics of this family is likely influences the species composition and distribution.
