Abstract

The distribution of Reduvius personatus in Canada is mapped, and is recorded for the first time from New Brunswick. It is shown that this species has a two-year life cycle in this country, overwintering as larvae in both the third and firth instars. Most adult emergence occurs from May to early October, with a peak in June-July.
