The fauna, ecological properties, and zoogeographical composition of Mirinae of the Hulunbuir region of China were studied and summarized. Atotal of 65 species belonging to 2 tribes and 19 genera were recorded. Among them, Charagochilus gyllenhalii (Fallén, 1807), Lygus poluensis (Wagner, 1967) and Phytocoris zhengi Nonnaizab & Jorigtoo, 1992 are new records for the Hulunbuir region and the former species is the first record also for the entire Inner Mongolia. In the Hulunbuir region, the highest number of Mirinae species (31) was collected from the Ewenki Autonomous Banner during July within the elevations of 601–750 m. From the perspective of zoogeographical composition, the Mirinae species found in Hulunbuir belong to faunae attributed to the Palaearctic, Oriental, and Nearctic regions with the Palaearctic dominating.
