This paper presents data on true bugs (Heteroptera: Miridae, Scutelleridae, Pentatomidae) feeding on Alangium platanifolium (Siebold et Zucc.) Harms (Alangiaceae) in the southern Russian Far East (Primorsky Krai). The material was collected by the authors in 2013 and 2024–2025 at the only A. platanifolium locality in Russia (Nadezhdinsky District) and at a field station in Ussuriysk Urban District. Trophic relationships were studied in the field and in stationary cages for short- and long-term rearing of insects. Six species of polyphagous bugs were found on A. platanifolium. Of these, Palomena viridissima and Eurydema dominulus have a wide range, while Neolygus aceris, Poecilocoris lewisi, Plautia stali, and Lelia decempunctata occur primarily in southeastern Asia and the southern Russian Far East. Development on this plant from early nymphal instars to winged adults was observed for Eurydema dominulus and Plautia stali.
