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.
