Abstract
The aim is to generalize the scientific researches on the species composition of Hemiptera within the Caucasus and possible ways of its formation.
Materials and methods. As research materials we used the collections of Hemiptera of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan as well as own collections and analysis of the available literature data. As the basic tool, we used the method of zoogeographical and ecological analysis of capsid bugs of the Caucasus. We also studied the hemipterofauna of the Mirid bugs of the individual regions of the Caucasus.
Findings. The paper presents an analysis of the representation and relation of zoogeographical complexes of Hemiptera insects of Miridae (Heteroptera) family in the vast territories of the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia. The analysis confirmed the major conventional views on the possible ways of forming a complex of Mirid bugs in the Caucasus, although so far the issue has not been studied completely.
Conclusion. Based on the analysis of faunal and taxonomic studies, we studied the main features of the zoogeographic structure of the most numerous family of Hemiptera in the region. The hemipterofauna of the Western Transcaucasia is dominated by the boreal complex, and the Transcaucasia is dominated by the Mediterranean complex with a significant part of the Iran-Turan. Currently, this family consists of around 600 species. Among Mirid bugs, cosmopolitans in this region are rare. In the North Caucasus, there are almost no endemic species, while in the South Caucasus, they account for about 5% of the total. The role of human factor in the formation of certain complexes is quite high.
