The paper contains data on 79 species of true bugs, collected by the third author at of the Tigirek Strict Reserve in 2013–2015, comprising 23 species new for the Asian part of Russia, Western Siberia, the Altai Krai and the reserve area. The species recorded for the first time include Heterogaster artemisiae Schilling, 1829 (Lygaeidae) for the Asian part of Russia, Tingis (Tingis) crispata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838) (Tingidae) for Siberia, and Sacculifer picticeps Kerzhner, 1959 (Miridae) for Western Siberia. Five new species were recorded for the Altai Krai: Himacerus (Himacerus) apterus (Fabricius, 1798) (Nabidae); Charagochilus (Charagochilus) gyllenhalii (Fallén, 1807) (Miridae); Berytinus (Lizinus) crassipes (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835) (Berytidae); Lamproplax membranea Distant, 1883, Trapezonotus (Gnopherus) anorus (Flor, 1860) (Lygaeidae). For the fauna of the Tigirek Strict Reserve, the species recorded for the first time include Nabis (Nabis) rugosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Nabidae); Deraeocoris (Deraeocoris) ater (Jakovlev, 1889), Halticus apterus apterus (Linnaeus, 1758), Criocoris quadrimaculatus (Fallén, 1807), Europiella artemisiae (Becker, 1864) (Miridae); Acalypta marginata (Wolff, 1804), Dictyla humuli (Fabricius, 1794) (Tingidae); Camptotelus lineolatus lineolatus (Schilling, 1829), Drymus (Sylvadrymus) brunneus brunneus (R.F.

The material from the Tigirek Strict Reserve supports the distribution of Stygnocoris rusticus (Fallén,1807) (Lygaeidae) in the Altai Krai. The updated list of true bugs from the Tigirek Strict Reserve includes 199 species from 20 families.
