Abstract

This paper provides the first annotated catalogue of the plant bug subfamily Orthotylinae (Heteroptera: Miridae) from Vietnam. A total of three tribes, eight genera and 17 species are now recognized, including one tribe, three genera and four species reported as new to the country. For each species, brief information is provided on its distribution and host associations. Additionally, two new species, Latizanchius ficus sp. nov. and Zanchius hopkinsi sp. nov., are described. Further, a male of Coridromius testaceous Liu & Zhao, 1999 is reported and described for the first time.
