T. Yasunaga, S. Miyamoto & I.M. Kerzhner

Abstract. Of the 16 nominal species of Miridae described by the Japanese authors in 1906-1917, 13 are represented by type specimens in the collection of S. Matsumura, Entomological Institute of the Hokkaido University. Lectotypes of 11 species are designated. The following new combinations and new synonymies are established: Orthops udonis (Matsumura, 1917), comb. n. (Lygus) = O. sachalinus (Carvalho, 1959), syn. n.; Tinginotopsis oryzae (Matsumura, 1910), comb. n. (Lygus) = T. dromedarius Poppius, 1915, syn. n.; Orthotylus flavosparsus (C.R. Sahlberg, 1841) = Tuponia guttula Matsumura, 1917 (synonymy confirmed) = O. nigropilosus Lindberg, 1934, syn. n.; Phylus stundjuki Kulik, 1973 = Heterocordylus flavipes (Nitobe, 1906), nom. praeocc., syn. n.
