A list of Heteroptera species found in the Kuril Islands, a history of investigation and brief zoogeographical analysis are presented. Heteroptera were found on 24 islands of 30 studied. The check-list encompasses 236 species belonging to 27 families. The number of species found on individual islands ranges from 1 to 218 (Kunashir). The fauna of the southern islands is much more diverse than that of the northern islands. The fauna of the Kuril Islands is more diverse than the faunas of Kamchatka (110) and Sakhalin (226), but much less diverse than the fauna of Hokkaido (450). Ninety-eight species occurring in the Kuril Islands have wide ranges, 98 species are restricted in their distribution to southeast Palaearctic, and 40 species have exclusively island ranges, occurring only in the Kurils and adjacent islands. Only one species of bugs is known to occur exclusively in the Kuril Islands: Aneurillodes glaberrimus Kerzhner, 1979.
