Abstract
The fossil heteropteran Miocoris fagi Cockerell, 1927 stat. rev. is redescribed and transferred from Reduviidae to the nominate tribe in Nabidae. The fossil Nabidae are surveyed and enumerated. One taxon, Sinanabis brevipes Zhang, 1986 stat. rev., is removed from Nabidae and is considered incertae familiae.
