  1. Phylinae (Heteroptera: Miridae) of Central Asia: current state of knowledge and a prospective for further research Fedor Konstantinov St. Petersburg State University

  2. Modern definition of Central Asia

  3. Transcaspian general-government (Zakaspiyskaya oblast)

  4. Turkestan in wide sense

  5. Central Asia in narrow sense

  6. Kochak Bay, Mangyshlak, KAZAKHSTAN Tauchik, Mangyshlak, KAZAKHSTAN Qyzylqum Sands, Uzbekistan Garagum Desert, TURKMENISTAN

  8. Central Asian localities sampled for Phylinae Based on the collection of the Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg

  9. The fauna of Central Asia is characterized by relatively high degree of endemism, with more than 30% of endemic and 12% of subendemic species 242 species of Phylinae from three tribes are currently known from the region Hallodapini Total 20 species, 3 endemics 2 subendemics Pilophorini Total 5 species, 2 subendemics Phylini Total 217 species, 70 endemics 26 subendemics Paralaemocoris anabasus Linnavuori, 1984 Pilophorus sinuaticollis Reuter, 1879 Solenoxyphus lepidus (Puton, 1874)

  10. Four Genera of Phylini are restricted to Central Asia Lopidodenus, with three species Voruchia, monotypic L. albidus, male V. vittigera,male Karokris, monotypic Taeniophorus, monotypic K. morulus, male T. hyalinus, female

  11. Kazakhstan 153 (7) Uzbekistan 106 (2) Kyrgyzstan 59 (4) Turkmenistan 116 (12) Tajikistan 74(8) Number of species recorded from each country of Central Asia Number of endemic species are given in brackets

  12. Kazakhstan 153 (7) Uzbekistan 106 (2) Kyrgyzstan 59 (4) Turkmenistan 116 (12) Tajikistan 74(8) Number of species common to the two compared regions of Central Asia

  13. Kazakhstan 153 (7) Uzbekistan 106 (2) Kyrgyzstan 59 (4) Turkmenistan 116 (12) Tajikistan 74(8) Number of species common to the two compared regions of Central Asia

  14. Kazakhstan 153 (7) Uzbekistan 106 (2) Kyrgyzstan 59 (4) Turkmenistan 116 (12) Tajikistan 74(8) Simpson coefficient of Similarity values between the regions of Central Asia

  15. Kazakhstan 153 (7) Uzbekistan 106 (2) Kyrgyzstan 59 (4) Turkmenistan 116 (12) Tajikistan 74(8) Simpson coefficient of Similarity values between the regions of Central Asia

  16. Kazakhstan 153 (7) Uzbekistan 106 (2) Kyrgyzstan 59 (4) Turkmenistan 116 (12) Tajikistan 74(8) Simpson coefficient of Similarity values between the regions of Central Asia

  17. Russia Kazakhstan Mongolia 85 (12) Uzbekistan NW China 40 (6) Turkmenistan Kyrgyzstan Iran 96 (26) Tajikistan Afghanistan Number of species common between regions of Central Asia and adjacent countries

  18. Russia Kazakhstan Mongolia 85 (12) Uzbekistan NW China 40 (6) Turkmenistan Kyrgyzstan Iran 96 (26) Tajikistan Afghanistan Simpson coefficient of Similarity values between the regions of Central Asia and adjacent countries

  19. Prospectives for further research 1. Ten new species of Phylinae need to be described 2. Further reversionary work is needed to create a clear diagnoses and workable keys for poorly known genera 3. Geocoding of each locality will make our knowledge of distributional patterns much more precise http://research.amnh.org/pbi

  20. Frequency of Central Asian Phylinae species per family of host plant Chenopodiaceae Host unknown Other families Tamaricaceae Asteraceae Fabaceae Polygonaceae

  21. Solenoxyphus kerzhneri sp. n. Solenoxyphus salsolae sp.n. Distribution: Southwestern Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan Host plant: Salsola gemmascens Distribution: Mongolia Host plant: Salsola passerina S. gemmascens and S. passerina form the section Malpigipila Botschantsev, 1970 Monophyly of the section was recently confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on ribosomalsequences (Pyankov et al, 2001)

  22. Distribution of S. kerzhneri ( ), S. salsolae ( ) and their hosts Salsola gemmascens Salsola passerina Distribution of hosts is taken from Plants of Central Asia by VI Grubov (2000) and Flora of China by Zhu Gelin et al (2003).
