Abstract

This work is a first comprehensive survey of true bugs (Hemiptera). A total of 14 species belonging to
14 genera, 12 tribes, 9 subfamilies and 9 families of the suborder Heteroptera and order Hemiptera were
recorded and identified in Duhok province, Kurdistan region. A percent 40% of species belonged
Pentatomidae family. Date and collecting localities and general distribution with plant association data for
each species are given.
