Introduction
The fauna of true bugs of Altai draws attention of numerous researchers. An important milestone of its study is the publication of the Catalog of the Heteroptera from the Asian part of Russia (Vinokurov et al. 2010), which provides data on true bugs of the region from the first half of the 19th century to the beginning of the second millennium. After this publication, the list of true bugs of the region was repeatedly expanded (Kuzhuget 2012a, 2012b; Grandova 2013; Vinokurov and Golub 2016; Vinokurov 2019; Vinokurov and Rudoi 2020, 2022a, 2022b; Golub et al. 2021). At present, the fauna of the Altai Republic includes 383 species, of the Altai Krai – 353 species.
Still, the list of the true bugs of Altai fauna is far from being complete, and new studies are necessary. In this regard, true bugs were collected in the Tigirek Strict Reserve, North-Western Altai. The reserve was founded in 1999 to preserve the biodiversity of the typical Chernevaya taiga and other natural complexes of the middle mountains in the North-Western Altai. The reserve is located in the southwestern part of the Altai Krai (Fig. 1), on the left bank of the upper Charysh basin. The reserve covers 82,802 ha (Fig. 2A). The most part of the reserve occupies the northern part of the Tigirek range, covered by taiga and subalpine forests. The northern part of the reserve displays the low-mountain forest-steppe of the Krasnoshchekovsk limestone uplift (Davydov et al. 2011).
The relief of the reserve is characterised by middle mountains with domed peaks. ASL heights range within 495–2013 m, average ASL heights vary within 800–1000 m. The dominant peaks in the reserve are the highest points of the Tigirek range – Chernaya (2013 m) and Razrabotnaya (1962 m) mountains. The tributaries of the Charysh river form the hydrographic network of the reserve; the largest rivers of the reserve are Belaya and Inya rivers (Davydov et al. 2011).
The fauna of true bugs of the Tigirek Strict Reserve and the North-Western Altai as a whole remained almost unstudied until recently, and the first data on 65 species from 47 genera of 12 families were published by R.O. Kusnetzova (2005) only at the beginning of this century. A.A. Knyshov and A.A. Namyatova (2010) supplemented the list of fauna with 97 species from 71 genera of 18 families. These data were summarized in the annotated list of invertebrates recorded from the Tigirek Strict Reserve (Volynkin et al. 2011) and amounted to 147 species from 17 families.
We analyzed the material collected in recent years by the staff of the reserve to report new data on 79 species of true bugs from 14 families; 23 species from 9 families have been recorded for the first time. In addition, the paper provides an updated list of true bugs from the Tigirek Strict Reserve.

Materials and methods
The material was collected in 2013–2015 by the collector Tatiana M. Krugova, in some cases together with volunteers of the reserve, using conventional methods (Golub et al. 2012). The insects were collected in the northern forest-steppe part of the reserve (near the village Tigirek, Krasnoshchekovsk district, the Altai Krai). True bugs were collected from six habitats. In five of these habitats, the material was collected by soil traps exposed at the beginning and end of summer of 2014 (10 traps at each habitat in May 18–28 and August 29–September 8). One more habitat, the petrophytic meadow steppe, censuses were performed by mowing herbaceous vegetation using an entomological net during May–September 2013–2015.

The images of true bug adults and their genitalia were taken with a digital camera Olympus DP74 and Olympus SZX16 attached to the stereomicroscopes Olympus XC50 and Olympus BX51. The photographs were edited in Paint.net, a free (except for Microsoft Store) raster graphics editor for Windows NT based on NET Framework (getpaint.net). The map with sampled localities was produced using the online mapping software SimpleMappr (Shorthouse 2010). Plant species were verified based on the data provided in plantarium.ru (Plantarium 2007–2022). The families, genera, subgenera, species, and subspecies were listed in the order of the Catalog of the Palaearctic Heteroptera (1995–2006). The species definitions were provided by the first author under the guidance of the second author.

Discussion
We performed the study in the territory of the Tigirek Strict Reserve to provide a number of new records for the following species.
Heterogaster artemisiae Schilling, 1829 (Lygaeidae) is a new species for Asian Russia. This bug is confined to the western and central Palaearctic. The most eastern records have so far belonged to Kazakhstan, where these species are ubiquitous. Thus, its presence in the Tigirek Strict Reserve is not surprising, though this is the eastern border of the species range.
Tingis (Tingis) crispata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838) (Tingidae) is a new species for Siberia. This Trans-Palaearctic species is confined to Mongolia and China, and the east and southeast of Kazakhstan. In Russia, it is known from the European part and the Far East. The record from the Tigirek Strict Reserve expands the central part of the species range to the north.
Sacculifer picticeps Kerzhner, 1959 (Miridae) is a new species for Western Siberia. In Russia, this Eurasian steppe species is known from the European part, Eastern Siberia, and the Far East; in Central Asia, it is known from Northern China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. Similar to the above species, the record from the Tigirek Strict Reserve expands the central part of the species range to the north.
These species are new for the Altai Krai: Himacerus (Himacerus) apterus (Fabricius, 1798) (Nabidae) is known from the Altai Republic, Kemerovo region, Eastern Siberia, the Far East, and west, south, and southeast of Kazakhstan; Charagochilus (Charagochilus) gyllenhalii (Fallén, 1807) (Miridae) is recorded from the Altai Republic and Tyumen region, and north, west and southeast of Kazakhstan; Berytinus (Lizinus) crassipes (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835) (Berytidae) is known from the Altai Republic, north and southeast of Kazakhstan; Lamproplax membranea Distant, 1883 (Lygaeidae) is known from the Altai Republic; Trapezonotus (Gnopherus) anorus (Flor, 1860) (Lygaeidae) is known from Tyumen, Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions, the Altai Republic, and north, east and southeast of Kazakhstan. Two species, Himacerus (Himacerus) apterus (Fabricius, 1798) (Nabidae) and Trapezonotus (Gnopherus) anorus (Flor, 1860) (Lygaeidae), are Trans-Palaearctic; Charagochilus (Charagochilus) gyllenhalii (Fallén, 1807) (Miridae) and Berytinus (Lizinus) crassipes (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835) (Berytidae) are confined to the western and central Palaearctic. The presence of these four species in the Altai Krai was not surprising due to their abundance in the nearby regions. The eastern Palaearctic species Lamproplax membranea Distant, 1883 (Lygaeidae) has been recently found in Western Siberia in the Altai Republic. Its presence in the Tigirek Strict Reserve expands our understanding of species distribution within the Altai Mountain Country. The species range is likely to expand westwards due to humid mountain areas. Lamproplax membranea Distant, 1883 (Lygaeidae) was collected in mesophytic areas with meadow vegetation near Lake Teletskoye in the Altai Republic; at one of the sampling plots with ruderal vegetation in stony soil of the anthropogenically disturbed forest edge at the foot of the mountain slope (Golub et al. 2021); in the floodplain birch forest of the Tigirek Strict Reserve.
The biotopic distribution of most of the listed species in the Tigirek Strict Reserve generally corresponds to the literature data on their biotopic preferences. Thus, Heterogaster artemisiae Schilling, 1829 (Lygaeidae), which is confined to xerophytic biotopes (Esenbekova 2013), in the Tigirek Strict Reserve was found in the petrophytic meadow steppe; the forest mesophile Himacerus (Himacerus) apterus (Fabricius, 1798) (Nabidae) (Esenbekova 2013) – in Chernevaya taiga; Trapezonotus (Gnopherus) anorus (Flor, 1860) (Lygaeidae), inhabiting plant litter in forest meadows, forest edges and clearings (Esenbekova 2013) – in the bushy idle field.
Several species, found in the petrophytic meadow steppe on Mt. Chaynaya, are more likely confined to forested habitats: Berytinus (Lizinus) crassipes (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835) (Berytidae), inhabiting sparse forests, parks, forest edges and clearings, and the tamnobiont Sacculifer picticeps Kerzhner, 1959 (Miridae) (Esenbekova 2013). However, the studied steppe locality at the reserve is situated in the lowmountain exposure forest-steppe, and the distance from this locality to forested plots on the slopes of other exposures does not exceed several tens of meters. Tingis (Tingis) crispata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838) (Tingidae), known from wetter river floodplains, was also found at the same meadow steppe (Esenbekova 2013); however, finding in the floodplains refers to the semi-desert zone; its occurrence at the steppe habitat in the low mountains of the North-Western Altai is apparently a vivid example of zonal change of habitats.
Two species known mainly from open habitats were found in the floodplain birch forest: Charagochilus (Charagochilus) gyllenhalii (Fallén, 1807) (Miridae) inhabits a wide range of biotopes from various types of meadows to steppes, as well as clearings; Lamproplax membranea Distant, 1883 (Lygaeidae) was found in the Altai Republic in mesophytic meadows and on the anthropogenically disturbed forest edge. Thus, a new record of true bugs from the Tigirek Strict Reserve expands our understanding of biotopic preferences of these species.
These species are the first records for the fauna of the Tigirek Strict Reserve: 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. Sahlberg, 1848), Trapezonotus (Trapezonotus) arenarius arenarius (Linnaeus, 1758), Megalonotus chiragra (Fabricius, 1794) (Lygaeidae); Stictopleurus viridicatus (Uhler, 1872) (Rhopalidae); Canthophorus impressus (Horváth, 1880) (Cydnidae); Eurygaster dilaticollis Dorhn, 1860 (Scutelleridae); Eurydema (Eurydema) gebleri gebleri Kolenati, 1846 (Pentatomdiae).
At present, the fauna of true bugs in the Tigirek Strict Reserve comprises 199 species from 20 families, and the Altai Krai harbors 361 species from 29 families. It should be noted that the compiled list is not complete, and other new species are expected to be discovered.
