Abstract

Fossil mirids, representatives of the subfamilies Cylapinae and Bryocorinae from the Lower Miocene in the Rubielos de Mora Basin of  Eastern Spain, are presented. One of them belonging to the subfamily Cylapinae is described and discussed: Aragocylapus miocaenicus n. gen., n. sp. A synopsis of a number of external characters in the related genera from the Baltic amber (Late Eocene) in question is given.
