	Plant Bug :: Planetary Biodiversity Inventory
		The Miridae are the most species rich family-level grouping of true bugs, with approximately 10,000 described species recognized as of 2000.
		The Miridae are unique within the Heteroptera in their possession of specialized setae known as trichobothria on the middle and hind femora.
		Some lineages of Miridae, such as the Isometopinae and Deraeocorinae, are predatory and have life cycles that are apparently strongly associated with the life cycles of their prey as opposed to the active growing period of plants.

	True Bugs
		Miridae are generally delicate green to greenish-yellow coloured bugs of medium size that are often well camouflaged.
		Some of the Miridae mimic ants in body shape, colouration and movement, allowing them to avoid predation by appearing to be aggressive ants.
		Klepto-parasitic Miridae live on the leaves of carnivorous plants (of the genera Byblis and Drosera), stealing the prey trapped in the sticky hairs on the leaves.

	Family Identification - Miridae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Species in the family Miridae as defined in Borror and White are readily recognized by the absence of ocelli and the presence of the cuneus and one or two closed cells in the front wings.
		Some authorities include the Isometopidae as a subfamily of Miridae; they are similar to mirids but have ocelli.

		Scanning electron photomicrographs showing detailed structure and drawings of the numbers and locations of these specialized setae are presented for representatives of the majority of the currently recognized tribes in the family.
		Within the limits of current knowledge the trichobothria in the various taxa of Miridae are homologized and a numbering scheme is presented.
		The phylogenetic significance of the trichobothria in the Miridae is discussed, with the conclusion that they constitute an autapomorphic character and that the Miridae, including the Isometopinae, represent a monophyletic group...

		Pretarsal structure in the Miridae (Hemiptera), with a cladistic analysis of relationships within the family.
		The following new or previously used terms describe tarsal and pretarsal structures in the Miridae: tarsal guard seta, unguitractor plate, basal claw spicules, claw hair, pulvillus, claw (with inner, outer, and ventral surfaces), setiform parempodium, lamellate parempodium, and pseudopulvillus.
		The Bryocorinae and Phylinae are examined in greatest detail because of previously limited information on the former group and the heterogeneous nature of pretarsal structure in the latter.

		Collections and research on Hawaiian Miridae began with Blackburn in the 1880s and Perkins from 1890 to 1910.
		In the 1960s and 1970s, Robert Usinger and Wayne Gagne associated some groups of Hawaiian Miridae with their host plants and began to publish descriptions of these patterns.

		The present paper adds five new species of Anthocoridae, two species of Miridae, and one of Notonectidae, a new total of 13 families, 27 genera, and 40 species to date.
		Several additions to that literature include Schuh (1995), a massive up-dated catalog on the world catalog of the family Miridae, and Slater and O'Donnell (1995), who compiled an up-date on the family Lygaeidae of the world, covering the literature from 1960-1994.
		The Miridae, or plant bugs, are the largest family of the Heteroptera, with almost 10,000 valid species world-wide (Schuh, 1995).

		The systematic study of the Heteroptera (true bugs), a group of some 40,000 species distributed worldwide, is the primary focus of Dr. Schuh's work.
		Although many regions of the world could be considered understudied for the Phylinae, as well as the Miridae as a whole, it is Australia that is virtually unknown, with only 1.8 percent of the world Miridae species recorded from there.
		From 1995 through 2000 Dr. Schuh has spent five field seasons in Australia, documenting the Miridae fauna and the host plants of the native species.
