During 2006-2007, several sampling projects were conducted to identify active true bugs on Alfalfa in Mashhad and its environs (northeast Iran, Khorasan-Razavi province). In total, 34 species belonging to 24 genera and 8 families were identified. Among them Orius niger Wolff, 1804 (Anthocoridae) was the predominant species for Alfalfa fields in the studied area. In additional to the faunistic survey, distribution of all the species is reviewed
