“…The fi rst attempt to monograph the genus was that of Costa Lima et al ( 1951 ). Later studies have improved our understanding of the taxonomy of the group (e.g., Gil-Santana and Milano 2007 ;Forero et al 2010 ;Berniker et al 2011 ), and additional revisionary work is underway (Forero and Weirauch personal communication).…”

“…Apiomerus is a large genus, with more than 100 described species (Maldonado, 1990), and spans most of the New World (Costa Lima et al, 1951). Although a species-level phylogeny has not been produced, there have been efforts to classify this diversity below the genus level.…”

“…The crassipes and pictipes species groups also offer a unique opportunity to study Nearctic biogeography and the relationship of Nearctic and Neotropical biota. Apiomerus is distributed throughout the New World, but is most speciose in the South American tropics (Costa Lima et al, 1951). The crassipes and pictipes species groups, however, contain many Nearctic species, and have diversified in the region in a way that is unlike that of any other species group in the genus.…”

The crassipes and pictipes species groups of Apiomerus Hahn together contain 12 species, many with high intraspecific chromatic variability, which represent the majority of Nearctic species in this New World assassin bug genus. Because of their geographical distribution and their varying degrees of polychromatism, these two species groups provide a unique opportunity to study the evolution of polychromatism and analyse relationships among areas of endemism in the Nearctic, as well as determine the boundary between the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. The results of a morphology based phylogenetic analysis allowed investigation of these questions while also determining relationships among the 12 species in the two species groups. The crassipes and pictipes species groups were each supported as monophyletic and as sister taxa. Apiomerus rufipennis (Fallou) was not included in the original concept of the crassipes species group, but is shown here to be a member of the group. Apiomerus barrocoloradoi Forero, Berniker & Szerlip, which had been hypothesized previously to belong to the pictipes species group, is excluded from this group. Intraspecific polychromatism for each species was identified as being present in one of three states: no polychromatism; limited polychromatism; or polychromatism as discrete colour morphs. Limited polychromatism was here found to be the ancestral state for Apiomerus, and species with discrete colour morphs are restricted to the crassipes and pictipes species groups. Polychromatism appears to be a greatly homoplastic character within the genus. A Brooks parsimony analysis recovered distinct Nearctic and Neotropical clades. The Nearctic clade is divided between areas in the central and eastern U.S.A. and areas in the Western U.S.A. and Mexico. The Nearctic–Neotropical boundary for the taxa included in the analysis is along the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico.

“…Apiomerus nigricollis Stål has been recorded ranging from the states of Rio de Janeiro to the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil and ranging from the provinces of Misiones to the province of Entre Rios in Argentina (Costa lima et al 1951;Carpintero 1981). In Argentina, A. nigricollis has been found in caves of Dasypus sp.…”

Abstract. The natural occurrence of predation on Leptinopterus burmeisteri Arrow and Leptinopterus femoratus (Olivier) (Coleoptera, Lucanidae, Lucaninae) by Zelurus angularis (Stål) (Reduviinae), Apiomerus mutabilis Costa Lima, Seabra & Hathaway and Apiomerus nigricollis Stål (Apiomerinae) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, is recorded. Additional data on the predatory habits of A. nigricollis are also presented here.
