Abstract: A list containing 95 species and one subspecies of the subfamily Phylinae of
the family Miridae from Khuzestan and the adjacent provinces is published.
Eleven new species of Phylinae are described: Acrotelus abbaricus sp. nov.,

Paredrocoris ilamicus sp. nov., Plagiognathus marivanensis sp. nov., Psallus
(Psallus) shulsangaricus sp. nov., Sthenaropsis fedori sp. nov., Sthenaropsis
zeydoonica sp. nov., Tuponia (Chlorotuponia) shadeganica sp. nov., Tuponia
(Tuponia) kurdistanica sp. nov., and Yotvata (Yotvata) farsiana sp. nov. In
addition, one new species of the subfamily Orthotylinae, Zanchius gurbandicus
sp. nov., is described and one new record each is provided for the subfamilies
Deraeocorinae and Orthotylinae. A key to the genus Sthenaropsis Poppius,
1912 is provided. Plagiognathus (Plagiognathus) bipunctatus albicans (Reuter,
1901) stat. nov., and Atomophora maculosa erato Linnavuori, 1971 stat. restit.
