Abstract: This study was conducted in the Erzurum province of Turkey during 2009–2014. The speciesCriocoris crassicornis (Hahn, 1834), artemisiae (Becker, 1864), and Paredrocoris pectoralis Reuter, 1878 were recorded for the first time from Turkey. The important taxonomic characters are described and photographs or illustrations are provided.

Miridae Hahn, 1833 (or plant-bugs) is a family of The material of the Phylinae was collected from , which comprises eight subfamilies worldwide. In different localities in Turkey between 1984 and 2014, the world, they are represented by more than 11 000 species the oldest collections are now part of the collections of (Namyatova and Cassis, 2016; Çerçi and Dursun, 2017). This the Entomological Museum, Erzurum. The material was family consists of eight subfamilies: Mirinae Hahn, 1833, obtained by sweeping from meadow and pasture lands Bryocorinae Baerensprung, 1860, Isometopinae Fieber, 1860, containing a variety of flowering plants. Provinces of the Deraeocorinae Douglas & Scott, 1865, Phylinae Douglas collected specimens are given in alphabetical order in the & Scott, 1865, Kirkaldy, 1903, following list. The material is stored in the Entomology Van Duzee, 1916, and Psallopinae Schuh, 1976 (Cassis Museum, Erzurum, Turkey (EMET). The species were and Schuh, 2012). Individuals of the subfamily Phylinae identified by Dr Rauno Linnavuori (Finland) and Prof. Dr. are small, rarely medium-sized, usually phytophagous, Jacek Gorczyca (Poland). often with narrow food specialization; less commonly Important morphological characters of zoophytophagous or predacious, hibernating as eggs (with crassicornis (Hahn 1834), Europiella artemisiae (Becker very rare exceptions) and it is the largest subfamily (Lehr, 1864), and Paredrocoris pectoralis Reuter 1878 were 1988; Yazıcı and Yıldırım, 2016). The Phylinae is a subfamily examined. The specimens were dissected for examination, of worldwide distribution with substantial diversity in most and abdomens were removed and placed in a cold 10% continental areas, but with very limited diversity in the KOH solution for 10–20 min. Then the general parts New World tropics. The classification of the group has been of the specimens were removed. Digital photographs substantially refined since 1974. Approximately 290 genera were captured on a Leica DFC290 camera mounted on a are currently recognized and placed in 5 tribes. In temperate Leica Z16 APO stereo zoom macroscope, using the Leica regions of the world, members of the group are univoltine application suite (version 2.7.0). Illustrations were done and for the most part show strong host specificity. Many using CorelDRAW (version 12.0). phylines are brown or somber in coloration; a few are black In the present study, three species from the subfamily but none are aposematic.
