<I>Orius strigicollis</I> is a predatory bug that attacks small arthropods, such as thrips, and augmentative release of commercial strains has been widely conducted in greenhouses in Japan. The accurate evaluation of its effectiveness is essential for successful biological control programs. However, because <I>Orius</I> species occur naturally in the field, it is difficult to discriminate <I>O. strigicollis</I> from other <I>Orius</I> species. Furthermore, it is necessary to discriminate commercial strains of <I>O. strigicollis</I> from field populations. In this review, we introduce two types of molecular procedures: (1) a multiplex polymerase chain reaction technique to identify Japanese <I>Orius</I> species, and (2) microsatellite DNA markers that can be used to measure genetic diversity within populations of <I>O. strigicollis</I> and to discriminate field and commercial strains. The usefulness of molecular ecological approaches is also discussed.
