P.O. Box No. 1250, G.P.O., Residency Road, Srinagar, Kashmir-190001, J & K, India *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT This paper pertains to 24 species of 19 genera of true bugs, belonging to Infra-order Cimicomorpha, under suborder Heteroptera, occurring in three different geographical regions of north-west Himalaya, viz. Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. The Cimicomorpha bugs in these regions are represented by four super families, including various families, viz.Cimicoidea (family Anthocoridae, Cimicidae, Nabidae), Miroidea (Miridae), Tingoidea (Tingidae) and Reduvioidea (Reduviidae). Miridae is found to be as dominant family, incorporated a total of 8 species of 6 genera, and followed by family Anthocoridae and Tingidae, including 5 species each. The family Reduviidae is represented by 4 species, whereas Cimicidae and Nabidae, having 1 species each. An updated systematic checklist of Species has been provided. Apart from this, biodiversity of Cimicomorpha-fauna has been discussed. Keywords: Cimicomorpha Bugs, Checklist, Diversity, Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh INTRODUCTION The Cimicomorpha is a highly diversified Infra-order of heteropteran insects, containing true bugs. This Infra-order of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalayan region is represented by four Super families, including various families, viz. Cimicoidea (family Anthocoridae, Cimicidae, Nabidae), Miroidea (Miridae), Reduvioidea (Reduviidae) and Tingoidea (Tingidae). In Cimicomorpha bugs, the rostrum and other morphology is adapted to feeding animals as their prey or host. Anthocorids are small in size, predaceous, feeding on small soft-bodied arthropods and play important role in biological control of insect pests of orchards, agriculture crops, ornamental plants, forest range plantations, green houses and granaries. The members of family Cimicidae are small blood-sucking ectoparasite of man and animals, represented by common bed bug. The Nabid bugs are also small predatory insects, feed on different kinds of small arthropods and their larvae and eggs. The species under the family Miridae, are small varied in colouration, large in number and diverse. Most of the Mirid bugs are plant feeders; however, many are predatory or zoo-phytophagous. Assassin bugs (Reduviidae), are terrestrial ambush predators. However, some Mirids suck blood from other vertebrates, including human and transmit diseases. Tingid bugs are very small in size (2-10mm), body dorsoventrally flattened, and oval or slender. These bugs are economically important pests of wide range of ornamental trees and shrubs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The database incorporated in this paper pertains to 24 species of Cimicomorpha bugs, known to exist in diverse habitats and vast localities of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalyan regions. These regions of J & K State, are situated in the northern part of the Indian sub-continent, in the Karakorum and western Himalyan mountain ranges. The J & K State is divided into three geographically and climatically different Provinces, viz. Ladakh (cold desert), Kashmir (temperate) and Jammu (sub-tropical). In this paper, the Cimicomorpha bug-fauna of these regions has been updated in the light of latest nomenclatural / systematic changes, after consulting relevant published works (national and international) and the world online data on the taxonomic surveys and the systematic catalogues. The valid species, under the Superfamilies-Cimicoidea, Miroidea, Reduviidea and Tingoidea of Infra- order Cimicomorpha, belonging to Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalayan region, are listed under the © Copyright 2014 | Centre for Info Bio Technology (CIBTech) 275 Indian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Life Sciences ISSN: 2231– 6345 (Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jls.htm 2015 Vol. 5 (1) January-March, pp. 275-279/Bhagat Research Article systematic Species checklist. In this checklist, the synonyms of the taxa are listed under the valid species, given in parentheses. The references pertaining to the authors recording / describing taxa from various localities / areas of different regions of this State of zoogeographical significance, are in the form of code numbers, given in the long brackets in front of each listed relevant Cimcomorphan species. In addition to these, abbreviations in connection with distribution of each listed species in various regions of this State, are also given in square brackets, in front of each concerned species. The keys to code numbers and abbreviations are given at the end of the systematic Species checklist. For the purpose of updation of taxonomic and nomenclatural changes of Cimicomorphan taxa, the monumental works provided by Aukema and Rieger (1996), Aukema and Rabitsch (2013), Schuh and Slater (1995) besides, the world online databases of Guibert (2015) and Schuh (2013), have been followed.

Species richness and Diversity of Cimicomorpha Bugs A total of 24 species of Cimicomorpha bugs, belonging to 19 genera under six families of five super families, is known to occur in vast localities and areas of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalyan region. The Mirid bugs include 8 species, under subfamily Bryocorinae (4 spp.), Mirinae (2spp.) and Phylinae (2 spp.). The three species of Bryocorines, viz. Dicyphus orientalis, D. physochlaenae and D.sengge, are recorded from high-altitude regions of Ladakh Himalaya. The fourth Brycorine species (Nesidiocoris sp.) , is found to occur in Kashmir valley (see checklist). This species is reported to damage agricultural crops- Lagenaria siceraria (bottle gourd) and Cucumis sativus (cucumber ) (Bhat et al., 2011). Subfamily Mirina ecomprises two species as Chilocrates patulus and Lygocoris pabulinus, prevalent in Kashmir region. Of these species, L. pabulinus, is observed to be an important pest of horticultural importance, damaging valuable fruit crops, viz. Apple (Malus domestica), apricot (Prunus armeniaca), pear (Pyruscommunis) and peach (Prunuspersica) (Rishi, 1968). Two species pertaining to subfamily Phylinae (C. pachycerus and A.margaretae), have been recorded from high-altitude regions of Ladakh by Hutchinson (1934) and Mani & Singh (1961). Anthocorid bugs include 5 species, belonging to 3 genera. Of these, two species (Anthocoris flavipes

Drake and Florence A. Ruhoff Introduction A treatise of the generic names of the family Tingidae from a global standpoint embodies problems similar to those frequently encountered in corresponding studies in other animal groups. The more im- portant criteria, including such basic desiderata as fixation of type species, synonyms, priority, and dates of technical publications implicate questions concomitant with recent trends toward the clarification and stabilization of zoological nomenclature. Zoogeography, predicated and authenticated on the generic level by the distribution of genera and species, is portrayed here by means of tables, charts, and maps of the tingifauna of the world. This visual pattern of distribution helps one to form a more vivid concept of the family and its hierarchic levels of subfamilies and genera. To a limited extent the data indicate distributional concentrations and probable centers of evolution and dispersal paths of genera. The phylogenetic relationship of genera is not discussed. The present treatise recognizes 216 genera (plus 79 synonyms, homonyms, and emendations) of the Tingidae of the world and gives 1 Research for this paper was supported In part by the National Science Foundation, grant No. 4095. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 112 the figure of 1,767 as the approximate number of species now recog- nized.
