Abstract

This paper provides the first annotated catalogue of the plant bug subfamily Mirinae (Heteroptera: Miridae) from Vietnam. A total of four tribes, 30 genera, and 39 species are recognized and catalogued. For each species, brief information is provided on its distribution, host plant and dorsal habitus.
