Abstract
Alabama is one of the most speciose states in the United States, yet many common groups of organisms, including
assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae), have yet to be fully documented. The purpose of this manuscript
is to identify all known assassin bug species occurring in the state using literature records and specimens from natural
history collections, most notably the Auburn University Museum of Natural History Entomology Collection, to provide
new state records, a checklist, and a morphological species key of the Alabama Reduviidae. All total, 61 species within
36 genera and 10 subfamilies are reported from Alabama. Additionally, 40 new state literature records are documented:
34 from Alabama and six from other states.

Introduction
Cataloguing and reporting the spatial distribution of species, both historical and current, is becoming increasingly
important with expanding human influence on natural environments. This is especially imperative in the southeast-
ern United States, given that the region’s North American coastal plain was recently designated as a global biodi-
versity hotspot (Noss et al. 2015) largely due to the wide variation in habitat types and relatively stable climate.
Alabama occupies part of the North American coastal plain and has been ranked among the most speciose states in
the country (Stein 2002); yet, many common groups of organisms have not been fully documented. The charismatic
and astoundingly diverse insects known as assassin bugs are one such group.
The family Reduviidae is the second most speciose group of true bugs (suborder Heteroptera), containing close
to 1,000 genera and 7,000 species worldwide (Maldonado Capriles 1990), with 54 genera, 195 species, and 24 sub-
species occurring north of Mexico (updated from Froeschner 1988). Members of this family are commonly referred
to as assassin bugs, a name which reflects the predacious behavior exhibited by most species. These insects range
in size from 3–40 mm, with a great variety in body forms and lifestyles. The subfamily Emesinae, for example,
includes the thread-legged bugs, which bear a striking similarity to walking sticks (order Phasmida) and are often
misidentified as such. Arilus cristatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (subfamily Harpactorinae) is a large (40 mm), bulky species
well-known for its distinct cogwheel-like structure on the pronotum (Henry 2009), which has earned it the common
name “wheel bug.” The subfamily Triatominae contains the parasitic kissing bugs, which have major medical im-
portance in Central and South America, where some species vector the deadly Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi
Chagas, 1909) (Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979). Even with all this variation, there is a combination of morphological
characteristics that distinguish all reduviids from other members of Heteroptera: they have raptorial forelegs (often
not obvious), a median longitudinal groove on the prosternum, and an apparently three-segmented rostrum (Slater
& Baranowski 1978).

Objective 1 of this project was to expand current knowledge on the distribution of the family Reduviidae by
providing the first comprehensive checklist of species found within the state of Alabama. Objective 2 was to de-
velop a morphological key to all species likely to be encountered in the state. Objective 3 was to examine all North
American reduviid specimens in the Auburn University Museum of Natural History Insect Collection as of 2018 and
report new state literature records found within.
Materials and methods
Specimens housed in the Auburn University Museum of Natural History (AUMNH) Insect Collection were the
primary source material for Objective 1 of this project, but those collected in Alabama residing in the Mississippi
State Entomological Museum (MEMU), the University of Tennessee Insect Collection, the Illinois Natural History
Survey (INHS) Insect Collection, and a few records from the Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH) were also
examined. Specimens were identified to subfamily, tribe, and genus using Weirauch et al. (2014) and Slater & Ba-
ranowski (1978), and species or subspecies were identified using the most relevant keys available (Table 1). Previ-
ously identified specimens in the collections were re-examined and, if necessary, their identifications were updated
to the most current binomial combination. Label data indicated that most specimens were collected via hand-netting
and sweep-netting, but a variety of techniques were implemented. State, county, city, date, geographic coordinates
(when available), collector, collection method, museum voucher number, and other relevant information also were
recorded (see Materials Examined). Records were distilled to the county-level (Fig. 1: reference for Alabama) and
depicted on the range maps with symbols representing county records (Figs. 2–14).

For Objective 2, a morphological key to Alabama species was created by DRS and CSC. Species without records
from the state but likely residing in the state based on literature records are included and marked with an asterisk (*)
in the key. Occasionally, brackets occur in the key, and these are used to indicate that the opposing condition for the
bracketed characters do not appear in the opposite lead of that couplet but may be found by following the opposite
lead to the next couplet (see Swanson 2015). Morphological characters were photographed using specimens from
the INHS Insect Collection, as well as the DRS and CSC personal collections.

For Objective 3, all specimens collected in the United States that reside in the AUMNH Insect Collection as of
2018 were identified to species. Froeschner’s (1988) catalog of the Reduviiidae and Phymatidae of Canada and the
United States and Swanson’s (2011) updated distributional records were then consulted to compile all known state
literature records and determine those which are new. Additional state records found within FMNH and INHS insect
collections were contributed by DRS.

Results
Of the over 2,000 specimens examined for this project, 61 species in 36 genera and 10 subfamilies were recorded as
being collected in Alabama (Table 2). Additionally, 40 new state literature records were documented: 34 from Ala-
bama and one each from California, Georgia, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Carolina (Table 3).

Discussion
This is the first comprehensive treatment of the Reduviidae collected within the state of Alabama. As such, there
are some curious patterns. We document the southern-most distributional record for Empicoris winnemana McAtee
& Malloch, 1925 and the eastern-most record for Zelus renardii Kolenati, 1856 from the United States (Table 3).
Rhiginia cinctiventris (Stål, 1872) (Fig. 2); Barce husseyi Wygodzinsky, 1966; Barce werneri Wygodzinsky, 1966;
Ghinallelia productilis (Barber, 1914) (all Fig. 3); Empicoris armatus (Champion, 1898); Empicoris nudus McAtee
& Malloch, 1925; Empicoris winnemana McAtee & Malloch, 1925 (all Fig. 4); Pselliopus barberi (Davis, 1912)
(Fig. 5); Pseudosaica florida (Barber, 1953); Zelus renardii Kolenati, 1856 (both Fig. 7); Saica elkinsi Blinn, 1994
(Fig. 11); Arenaeocoris enervatus Blinn, 2012; Gnathobleda litigiosa Stål, 1862 (both Fig. 12); and Pygolampis
sericea Stål, 1859 (Fig. 13) were only represented by one or two specimens and thus might be considered rare
within the state. Saica elkinsi, Gnathobleda litigiosa, and Pygolampis sericea were apparently collected in the late
1950s and have not been recorded since. Narvesus carolinensis Stål, 1859 is represented by 11 specimens from four
counties on nine independent sampling occasions all collected between 1957 and 1970, with no records since then
despite reasonably heavy collecting efforts over the past ten years within the region. It is unclear if these are signs
of decline in these species, particularly the latter, or if they are simply anomalies.
Undoubtedly, there are some species occurring in Alabama that were not recorded in this checklist. Fitchia spi-
nosula Stål, 1872; Apiomerus spissipes (Say, 1825); Reduvius personatus (Linnaeus, 1758); and Triatoma lecticu-
laria (Stål, 1859) were recorded as occurring in Alabama but were not found in our specimen survey. Froeschner’s
(1988) catalog and Swanson (2011) also recorded Doldina interjungens Bergroth, 1913; Rasahus biguttatus Say,
1831; Macrocephalus cimicoides Swederus, 1787; Macrocephalus manicatus (Fabricius, 1803); Phymata albopicta
Handlirsch, 1897; and Phymata noualhieri Handlirsch, 1897 as being in surrounding states but have not yet been
recorded from Alabama. Further collecting in poorly sampled regions in northern, western, and southern Alabama,
and examinations of other insect collections around the country will likely yield some of these species, so we in-
cluded them in the morphological key. It is our hope that by formally documenting the species found within the state
of Alabama, providing a morphological key to species, and expanding current knowledge of the Nearctic distribu-
tion of the Reduviidae, this publication will be useful in conservation, systematics, biogeography, integrated pest
management, and other branches of biology.
