Abstract

The first North American records for Deraeocoris punctulatus (Fallén), Labopidea artemisiae (Sahlberg), and Labopidea bermani Kerzhner indicate that the species are naturally Holarctic. Lygus rugulipennis Poppius is now considered naturally Holarctic after specimens of Lygus perplexus Stanger from Alaska, Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories are correctly identified as L. rugulipennis. Additional North American localities for Labopidea discolor (Sahlberg) support the contention that the species is naturally Holarctic. Collections of Orthotylus ochrotrichus Fieber from Royal Oak, British Columbia, and Malacocoris chlorizans Panzer from British Columbia and Washington state suggest that these species are adventive to North America. Diagnoses are provided to distinguish all the taxa from other North American congeners. A key to the northern Nearctic species of Labopidea is given.

Résumé

Les premières mentions nord-américaines de Deraeocoris punctulatus (Fallén), Labopidea artemisiae (Sahlberg) et Labopidea bermani Kerzhner indiquent qu’il s’agit d’espèces naturellement holarctiques. Lygus rugulipennis Poppius est également considérée comme une espèce naturellement holarctique; des spécimens faussement déterminés comme Lygus perplexus Stanger, mais appartenant à L. rugulipennis, ayant été capturés en Alaska, au Yukon et dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. De nouvelles données de capture en Amérique du Nord permettent aussi de conclure que Labopidea discolor (Sahlberg) est naturellement holarctique. Des récoltes d’Orthotylus ochrotrichus Fieber à Royal Oak, en Colombie-Britannique, et de Malacocoris chlorizans Panzer en Colombie-Britannique et dans l’État de Washington, laissent croire que ces deux espèces sont introduites en Amérique du Nord. On fournit des diagnoses pour permettre de séparer ces espèces de leurs congénères nord-américaines. On présente un tableau de détermination des espèces néarctiques de Labopidea.
