Abstract

The last-instar nymph of the nabid Lasiomerus annulatus (Reuter) is described for the first time and a diagnosis of the adult is presented. Its geographical distribution is detailed and the northern limit of its range in North America is established at 45 °37′N latitude. New phenological and ecological information is provided based on collections made in Québec from 1979 to 1985 and the bioecology is discussed, especially with regard to habitat preferences and phenological cycle.

Résumé

Le dernier stade larvaire du Nabide Lasiomerus annulatus (Reuter) est décrit pour la première fois et une diagnose de l’adulte est présentée. On rapporte de façon détaillée la distribution géographique de cette espèce et on établit sa limite nord en Amérique du Nord à 45 °37′ de latitude Nord. La collecte de cette espèce au Québec, de 1979 à 1985, a aussi fourni des données phénologiques et écologiques inédites. L’auteure discute de la bio-écologie de cette espèce, surtout en ce qui a trait à son habitat et son cycle phénologique.
