Abstract
In the paper based on materials of the Altai State University (Barnaul) and collections of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk), additional data on the distribution in the Altai Krai of 65 species of heteropterans from 13 families of the infraorders Cimicomorpha and Pentatomorpha are given. Bothrostethus annulipes (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835) of the family Coreidae, presumably unintentionally introduced to Siberia, was found in Barnaul City area. Seven species are recorded for the first time for Altai Krai: Agnocoris rubicundus (Fallén, 1807), Closterotomus samojedorum (J. Sahlberg, 1878) (Miridae); Lasiacantha hermani Vásárhelyi, 1977, Tingis cardui (Linnaeus, 1758) (Tingidae); Scolopostethus pilosus pilosus Reuter, 1875, Raglius alboacuminatus alboacuminatus (Linnaeus, 1778) (Lygaeidae) and Ventocoris halophilus (Jakovlev, 1874) (Pentatomidae). Examples of aberrations of genital structures (male paramere and female parietal vaginal gland) detected in the Altai population of Nabis brevis brevis Scholtz, 1847 are discussed.

Introduction
Studies of the biodiversity of heteropterous insects in Altai Krai became purposeful only in the second decade of the 21st century, although information about them was obtained as early as the first half of the 19th century (Gebler 1830). The history of the study of these insects in the territory investigated is briefly described in the first part of the planned series of publications (Vinokurov and Rudoi 2022), in which 18 species from five families are listed as new to Altai Krai. The present paper is based on the results of investigation of the collections of the junior author and students of the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology of Altai State University (Barnaul, hereinafter referred to as ASU) in the territory under consideration in 2021 and unpublished materials in the collection of heteropterans of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals of Siberian Branch of RAS (Novosibirsk – ISEA).
Material and methods
In 2021, field work was carried out in Charysh, Zmeinogorsk and Lokot’ Districts of Altai Krai and in the vicinity of Barnaul (Fig. 1). In Charysh District, the research was conducted at the Goluboi Utyos Station of educational practices of ASU and in the vicinity of the village of Malyi Bashchelak. With the assistance of AL Ebel (Barnaul) in Zmeinogorsk District, the surroundings of Lake Kolyvanskoye and the valley of the Aley River near the village of Ust’yanka, Lokot’ District, were investigated. With the help of students under the supervision of YuV Dyachkov (Barnaul), we obtained material of true bugs in the valley of the Barnaulka River in Central District of Barnaul City. The junior author studied in 2020 and 2021 heteropterans in the collections of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch of RAS (Novosibirsk) from the Kulunda, Talmen, Kuria, Klyuchevsk, Kosikhinsk and Pavlovsk districts and Barnaul vicinities.
In total, using generally accepted methods of insect faunistic studies (Golub et al. 2012), 320 specimens of bugs were collected. The images were taken with a DP74 digital camera attached to an Olympus SZX16. The distribution map was produced by using the online mapping software SimpleMappr (Shorthouse 2010). The photos were processed using Paint.net – a free (except for Microsoft Store) raster graphics editor for Windows NT based on NET Framework (https://www.getpaint.net/).
The coordinates were omitted for the following localities:
1. Barnaul City: point 1 (53°18'41"N, 83°44'04"E), point 2 (53°20'N, 83°46'E)

3. Kosikha District: «Lake Krasilovo» – vicinity of Lake Krasilovo station of educational practices (53°11'N, 84°21'E)
4. Lokot’ District: Aley River – valley of Aley River, 1 km N of Ust’yanka Village (51°09'47"N, 81°35'45"E); Ust’yanka – vicinity of Ust’yanka Village (51°10'03"N, 81°35'39"E).
5. Zmeinogorsk District: Lake Kolyvanskoye – 8 km NE of Savvushka Village, vicinity of Lake Kolyvanskoye (51°23'28"N, 82°12'37"E).
The collectors are RV Yakovlev, VV Rudoi and AM Serebryakov unless otherwise specified in the "Material" sections.

Discussion
Based on the collection specimens from ASU and materials of ISEA from 11 districts of Altai Krai and the urban area of Barnaul, we give additional data on the distribution of 65 terrestrial bug species of 14 families in the studied territory.
For the first time in Siberia, Bothrostethus annulipes (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835) (Coreidae) with a European-Irano-Turanian range is reported. The nearest finds of this species are known from Western, Central and Southeastern Kazakhstan, where it inhabits dry, warm sandy or fine-rubble soils (Yesenbekova 2013). Host plants are legumes (Fabaceae) (Putshkov 1962). Its presence in Barnaul implies a high probability of being introduced.
For the first time, 7 species are recorded for the fauna of Altai Krai: Agnocoris rubicundus (Fallén, 1807), Closterotomus samojedorum (J. Sahlberg, 1878) (Miridae); Lasiacantha hermani Vásárhelyi, 1977, Tingis cardui (Linnaeus, 1758) (Tingidae); Scolopostethus pilosus pilosus Reuter, 1875, Raglius alboacuminatus alboacuminatus (Linnaeus, 1778) (Lygaeidae), and Ventocoris halophilus (Jakovlev, 1874) (Pentatomidae).
Thus, the faunal list of Altai Krai includes 351 species belonging to 187 genera from 29 families, taking into account 8 species found for the first time.
Examination of the genital structures of 23 males and 29 females of the Altai population of N. brevis brevis, one male from Lokot’ District and one female from Charysh District has revealed very rare cases of anomalies in the external and internal structures of the genitalia. Morphologically, the aberrant individuals do not differ from the normal ones (Figures 14 and 17, 21 and 24). In the abnormal male, the paramere disc (Figures 18, 19) is unusually rounded, the septal plate is not developed, the pituitary gland is inclined downwards and displaced backwards, and the denticle on the posterior margin of the disc is absent. Thus, the paramere does not resemble at all the disk typical of this species (Fig. 15), but has a distant resemblance to that of N. ferus (Linnaeus, 1758). However, in the aberrant male, the shape of the massive hook of the phallus, which is a key character for determination, is typical of that of the normal male (Figs. 16, 20). In the aberrant female, the general appearance of the vagina is the same as in the normal female (Figs. 22, 25), but the parietal gland, which is normally entire (Fig. 23), is distinctly divided in the middle in two parts (Fig. 26). Such a very rare case of separation of the parietal gland in the N. ferus vagina was found by the first author in a specimen from Yakutia.
In other families of Cimicomorpha bugs, aberrations in genitalia are sometimes found. For example, Japanese entomologist T. Yasunaga (1996) described a unique example of deformities of the left paramere and phallus structures in the plant bug Apolygus spinolae (Meyer-Dűr, 1841). In the norm, the left paramere is strongly curved (Fig. 27); in the aberrant specimen, it is shortened and straight, comparable in length with the right paramere (Fig. 29). If the vesica of the aedeagus normally has four distinct sclerites (Fig. 28), in the aberrant specimen it is all webbed with underdeveloped sclerites (Fig. 30).
Kerzhner (1981) pointed out that the intrapopulation variability of genitalia in the family Nabidae is negligible (with the exception of very rare deformities), but the geographical variability within the species range is widespread, often reaching a large extent and may be clinal in a larger or smaller area. Thus, additional collections are needed to identify the causes of such abnormalities in genital structures and their distribution in the Altai population of this species.
