Biodiversity analysis of hemipterofauna (Hemiptera) of Western Siberia in search of potential entomophages

The paper analyses the species composition of predatory bugs (Hemiptera) on the territory of West ern Siberia. The review of hemipterofauna includes zoophytophages and zoophages that are important in limiting the number of pests. Rough estimates in the conditions of the region include predatory families of Hemiptera: Nabidae – 27, Anthocoridae – 32, Reduviidae – 27, Miridae – 86, Lygaeidae – 24, Pentatomidae – 10 species. Three bug families of particular interest concerning the biological control are the Nabidae, Anthocoridae and Miridae. The most promising species of Western Siberia include Nabis (Nabis) ferus, Nabis (Nabis) punctatus, Nabis (Nabis) brevis, Nabis (Dolichonabis) lim batus, Nabis (Nabicula) flavomarginatus, Himacerus (Himacerus) apterus; Orius majusculus, Orius (Heterorius) laticolis subsp. laticolis , Orius (Heterorius) minutus, Anthocoris confusus, Anthocoris nemorum, Elatophilus nigrellus, Temnostethus (Temnostethus) gracilis, Orius (Heterorius) horvathi, Orius (Heterorius) vicinus, genus Xylocoris; Dicyphus (Brachyceroea) globulifer, Dicyphus orienta lis, Dicyphus (Dicyphus) stachydis. The families Pentatomidae and Reduviidae are distinguished by lower species diversity in Western Siberia: Arma custos, Troilus luridus, Rhacognathus punctatus, Zicrona caerulea, Picromerus bidens, Jalla dumosa, Jalla subcalcarata; Pygolampis bidentata, Cor anus spiniscutis, Rhynocoris (Rhynocoris) iracundus. It is noted that the studies on the occurrence and effectiveness of most species are extremely limited. For the individual species, data on the possibility of their laboratory rearing and use as biological plant protection agents are given.
