As the INTEGRAL mission increases its exposure time of the Galactic plane, it is giving us a much more complete picture of hard X-ray sources in the Galaxy, including the discovery of many new ``IGR'' sources. The fraction of new sources that are High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) is large when compared to the source types for previously known sources, and several of these new HMXBs have interesting and extreme properties. In particular, some of the HMXBs exhibit bright, short flares, and using the INTEGRAL results as a guide, we estimate that >100 of these sources may be discovered by MIRAX if the MIRAX field-of-view covers the inner spiral arms of the Galaxy. Another benefit of covering regions with large numbers of HMXBs is that MIRAX will be capable of detecting pulsations from these sources, and its long term monitoring will provide orbital measurements.
