N1 - Funding Information: We are grateful to the following colleagues and institutions for loans of specimens: Eliane De Coninck (MRAC), Thomas J. Henry (USNM), Randall T. Schuh (AMNH) and Mick Webb (BMNH). The Heteroptera collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences also used in this study is financially supported by the state research project AAAA-A17–117030310205–9. The authors acknowledge resource centers ‘Microscopy and Microanalysis’, ‘Chromas’, and ‘Molecular and Cell Technologies’ (St. Petersburg State University) for the access to experimental equipment and technical assistance. Thanks are given to Elena Kushnevskaya (SPSU) for assistance in calculation of b-sim indices. Thomas J. Henry and an anonymous reviewer made many helpful comments on the manuscript.

N2 - The higher classification of the mirid subfamily Bryocorinae has received comparatively little attention. It is not highly species-rich in comparison with other mirid subfamilies but does exhibit extraordinary morphological heterogeneity. In this work we provide a synthesis of the subfamily on a global basis, providing a new key and updated diagnoses of supraspecific taxa. Five tribes are recognised: Bryocorini, Dicyphini, Eccritotarsini, Felisacini and Monaloniini. The genus Campyloneura Fieber is transferred from the tribe Dicyphini to the Eccritotarsini. Analysis of distributional patterns and a survey of host plant associations are provided. Available data on distribution of the main bryocorine lineages are summarised in tabular form and evaluated using UPGMA methods, and geographically structured patterns were detected. The synthesis will enable users to identify bryocorines to tribal level with confidence and provides a classificatory framework for future revisionary and phylogenetic studies.
