Revisiting the phylogeny of the family Miridae (Heteroptera: Cimicomorpha), with updated insights into its origin and life history evolution

Thirty years of progress in research on jumping tree bugs and the World checklist of Isometopinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae)

A comprehensive synopsis of isometopine plant bugs, highlighting the thirty-year progress made with information on morphology, biology and zoogeography of extant and extinct taxa, is introduced. In addition, the feeding habit of isometopines is suggested to be at least partially spent as a lichen feeder. A total of 289 Isometopinae species are presented in the world checklist with the zoogeographical information. The direction of further studies on isometopine taxa is also suggested.
