Abstract

An annotated list of seed bugs (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae) of the Northeast of European Russia is presented, comprising 36 species from 22 genera of 7 subfamilies and summarizing the original and literature data on the regional records of species, their zonal and biotopic preferences, ecology, and general distribution. Ischnodemus sabuletii (Fallén, 1826), Geocoris ater (Fabricius, 1787), Oxycarenus modestus (Fallén, 1829), Gastrodes abietum Bergroth, 1914, Pachybrachius luridus Hahn, 1826, Peritrechus geniculatus (Hahn, 1832), Rhyparochromus phoeniceus (Rossi, 1794), and Stygnocoris rusticus (Fallén, 1807) are recorded for the first time from the Northeast of European Russia. The subfamily Rhyparochrominae includes 24 species while other subfamilies are represented by 1–4 species in the region. The core of the fauna consists of species with Holarctic (30%), trans-Eurasian (25%), and trans-Palaearctic (16%) distribution; by the type of latitudinal extension, most of the species have boreal-subtropical ranges (84%).
