Description

Podisus maculiventris (Say, 1831b)

New state records: Kentucky: Scott Co.: Georgetown, 21-VI-1954, R. L. Fischer, det. Phillips (1♂ MSUC).

West Virginia: Harrison Co.: Salem, 15-IV-1921, C. P. Hickman, det. Phillips (1♂ UMMZ).

Distribution: Canada:AB, BC, MB, NB, NF (Morris 1972, Maw et al. 2000, Roch 2020), NS, ON, PE (Maw et al. 2000, Roch 2020), QC.

(Mexico, West Indies)

Comments: This species, commonly called the spined soldier bug, is very common throughout the U.S., and has been studied extensively for its biological control potential. It has been recorded as a predator on many different insect species (McPherson 1980, 1982). Phillips (1983), in her unpublished dissertation, among other records, provided locality records that confirm the above records from Alabama, Connecticut, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia; she also listed records from Delaware and Nevada, which would represent state records. Simons (1969) also recorded this species from Alabama in an unpublished thesis. Also, this species was recorded from Oregon in another unpublished thesis (Wetherill 2000).
