Abstract

New provincial and/or state records are given for 73 species of Heteroptera in Canada and the United States. Lygaeospilus brevipilus is reported new to the United States, and Corythaica acuta and Sehirus cinctus cinctus new to Canada. Eremocoris melanotus is synonymized with E. semicinctus.
