After the publication of Tomokuni et al. (2000), a good number of the heteropterous insects were collected at the Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan, under the "Monitoring survey of fauna of the Imperial Palace, Tokyo" conducted by the National Science Museum, Tokyo. This paper reports these material along with a few additional specimens from the Akasaka Imperial Gardens and the Tokiwamatsu Imperial Villa left off the list of Tomokuni (2005). In total 49 species of Heteroptera were found from these three places including four newly recorded species: Apolygus pulchellus, Elasmucha putoni, Eurydema rugosa, and an undescribed species of Miridae (Japanese name, Okuro-kasumikame), all common in Kanto District around Tokyo. Of 49 species, Oncocephalus breviscutum, Cimicicapsus koreanus, and Eurystylus luteus are new to the Imperial Palace, Cletus punctiger is new to the Akasaka Imperial Gardens, and Sastragala esakii, Poecilocoris lewisi, Riptortus clavatus, and Rhopalus maculatus to the Tokiwamatsu Imperial Villa. These species are common in Kanto District as well. Cymus aurescens, found from the Akasaka Imperial Gardens, has been unknown from the Imperial Palace. This may due to the lack of preferable host plants in the flora of the latter.
