“…Adelphocoris lineolatus has caused serious damage to alfalfa (genus Medicago L.; Fabaceae) in both Canada (Craig 1963(Craig , 1971Beirne 1972) and the United States (Drake 1948;Radcliffe and Barnes 1970;. It is primarily an economic pest of alfalfa grown for seed (Craig 1971) but is also a pest of the forage crop birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.; Fabaceae) in New York (Neunzig and Gyrisco 1955).…”

The distribution, spread, and adaptations of the 81 alien heteropterous species recorded in Canada are summarized. Sixty-nine species had eastern introductions and 47 had western introductions; 35 were introduced separately on both coasts. Most of the alien species are mirids of European origin. Several of these alien mirids have adapted and become pests of fruit and other agricultural crops, and some have become useful predators. Only 3 have adapted and spread across the whole country.

“…This European species was first recorded in North America by Knight (1922). Guppy (1963) reported this species to breed on alfalfa in Ontario; Neunzig and Gyrisco (1955) found it breeding on birdsfoot trefoil, Lotus corniculatus, in New York. In this study P. chrysanthemi fed on the buds and blossoms of alfalfa and was common from May to July, although it was never as abundant as A. lineolatus, L. lineolaris, or P .…”

The food habits and biologies of the Miridae, or plant bugs, were studied during research on the arthropod fauna associated with alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., at Ithaca, N.Y., from 1966 to 1969. Seasonal history, population trends, and natural enemies are summarized for the following species found breeding on alfalfa: Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze), A. rapidus (Say), Lopidea marginalis (Reuter), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), Plagiognathus chrysanthemi (Wolff), and P. politus Uhler. Field observations of predation and scavenging by mirids are reported, including feeding on the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris); potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris); and alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal). The most common sources of animal food on the plants were Hylemya flies killed by fungus, and pea aphid mummies containing pupae of aphidiine wasps. It is concluded that utilization of some animal food on their host plants is a common phenomenon among the Miridae.
