T. Yasunaga, S. Miyamoto & I.M. Kerzhner

Type specimens and identity of the mirid species described by Japanese authors in 1906-1917 (Heteroptera: Miridae). Zoosystematica Rossica, 5(1): 91-94. Of the 16 nominal species of Miridae described by the Japanese authors in 1906-1917, 13 are represented by type specimens in the collection of S. Matsumura, Entomologi- cal Institute of the Hokkaido University. Lectotypes of 11 species are designated. The following new combinations and new synonymies are established: Orthops udonis (Matsumura, 1917), comb. n. (Lygus) = 0. sachalinus (Carvalho, 1959), syn. n.; Tingi- notopsis oryzae (Matsumura, 1910), comb. n. (Lygus) = T. dromedarius Poppius, 1915, syn. n.; Orthotylusflavosparsus (C.R. Sahlberg, 1841) = Tuponia guttula Matsumura, 1917 (synonymy confirned) = 0. nigropilosus Lindberg, 1934, syn. n.; Phylusstundjuki Kulik, 1973 = Heterocordylusflavipes (Nitobe, 1906), nom. praeocc., syn. n..
