Three resonances, the 3:2 exterior mean motion resonance with Neptune, Kozai resonance and 1:1 super resonance, are known to govern concurrently the stability of the motion of Pluto. We explore numerically the resonance zones in which the three resonance coexist. There might exist plutinos with relatively large masses in these zones. Considering that Pluto's perturbation is important to the long-term evolution of plutinos, the resonance zone is mainly explored in the mirror region of Pluto, which is a mirror image of the region around Pluto with respect to the invariant plane of the solar system. We find six resonance zones in the mirror region. The orbit elements at the centers of the six zones and the corresponding heliocentric distances, longitudes and latitudes on July 1, 2003 have been computed and listed for the reference of observation.
