Discussion
As a result of the present study, Criocoris crassicornis (Hahn, 1834) , Europiella artemisiae (Becker, 1864) and Paredrocoris pectoralis Reuter, 1878 of 3 genera belonging to the subfamily Phylinae were recorded first time from Turkey, and so these species are new for the Turkish fauna. All the recorded species are zoophytophagous. With the recent investigation of the geographical distribution of the species mentioned above, they can now be divided into the following groups: Criocoris crassicornis (Hahn, 1834) is distributed in the Palearctic region, Ethiopian region; Europiella artemisiae (Becker, 1864) is distributed in the Palearctic region, Neotropical region, Holarctic; Paredrocoris pectoralis Reuter, 1878 is distributed in the Palearctic region.
While the antennae segments and femora in C. contrastus are yellow, in C. crassicornis , first antennal segment and femora are black. In the same way, while pronotum and scutellum are black, corner parts of scutellum are yellow stained, femora is black in Europiella artemisiae , pronotum and scutellum are greenish, the corners of scutellum are spotless, femora is yellowish, blackish brown round stained in Paredrocoris pectoralis ( Yazıcı, 2015) .
As a result of the current study, the total number of species recorded from Turkey rose to 580, belonging to 151 genera from Miridae ( Yazıcı, 2015) , and our knowledge on the distribution of previously known species has broadened. However, supplementary studies are necessary to have a better knowledge on the composition of the Turkish fauna of Miridae and monitor the expansion of these potential predators of agriculture.
The collected data are interesting for national or regional distribution of species and they allowed the discovery of three new taxa for Turkey. They also give
