Abstract

We report 31 species (representing 14 genera) of plant bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) for the first time from Arkansas. All species were collected from UV traps, which were set monthly in April-September 2009 and 2010, in the Ross Foundation Forest Area (Clark County) located in southwestern Arkansas. The addition of these records brings the total to 113 species of plant bugs reported for Arkansas. Twelve additional species are newly reported for Clark County. Two undescribed Ceratocapsus species were also discovered. Those have been deposited into the USNM (Washington D.C.) awaiting future description.
