Review of the genus Salicarus (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Miridae)

The genus <i>Salicarus</i> Kerzhner, 1962 is revised, with differential diagnoses and redescriptions provided for nine species. Three distinct species groups were recognized within the genus: <i>S.nitidus</i> group (<i>S.cavinotum</i>, <i>S.genistae</i>, <i>S.nitidus</i>, <i>S.perpusillus</i>), <i>S.roseri</i> group (<i>S.concinnus</i>, <i>S.roseri</i>, <i>S.urnammu</i>), and <i>S.fulvicornis</i> group (<i>S.halimodendri</i>, <i>S.fulvicornis</i>). A key to species, illustrations of dorsal habitus, male and female genitalia, and selected diagnostic structures are included. Additionally, available host information and distributional records are summarized. <i>Phoenicocorisqiliananus</i> Zheng, 1996 is synonymized with <i>Salicarushalimodendri</i> V. G. Putshkov, 1977.
