Introduction

Routine weevil and bark beetle identifications from plant health surveys, amateur collectors, public inquiries, and museum survey specimens regularly produce new faunal records for Canada, its provinces, and territories. The most recent checklist of the Canadian fauna is McNamara (1991).

The present article presents new findings with associated collection data so that the records may be documented with verifiable voucher specimens. These records are also reflected in the updated checklist of Canadian beetles (Bousquet et al. 2013).The following list of 97 new records are organised according to the family–group classification of Bouchard et al. (2011). We record two Brentidae, and 22 Curculionidae species new to Canada, and 72 new provincial and territorial records; many of these are of beneficial or economic pest species.

Materials and methods

Specimens were identified (or identifications confirmed) by recognized specialists in those taxa. These are as follows: Curculionidae (Scolytinae) (Hume Douglas, Donald E. Bright); Curculionidae (other than Scolytinae), Anthribidae, Brachyceridae (Robert S. Anderson, Patrice Bouchard); Brentidae (Apioninae) and Curculionidae (Baridinae) (Jens Prena). Specimens are deposited in collections listed with the specimen data for each species.

All collections listed below were reviewed by one or more authors for undocumented curculionoid records except for DEBU, GLFC, and City of Saskatoon. For these three collections we included only the specimens identified as new by their staff. It is possible that additional undocumented curculionoid records remain in most of the collections listed below.

The use of term adventive used here follows that of Wheeler and Hoebeke (2009). Such adventive species are non-natives with established North American populations, intentionally or accidentally introduced by humans, effectively since the first arrival of Europeans.

(Kirby, 1808) new to Canada

This adventive species is broadly distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Alonso-Zarazaga 2011). In Canada it feeds on the introduced weed L. (Fabaceae) which is common in eastern Canada and British Columbia (Turkington and Franko 1980). This species may be more widespread in Canada than presently documented because extensive surveys have not been conducted.

(Kirby, 1808) new to Canada

This adventive species is broadly distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Alonso-Zarazaga 2011). In Canada it feeds on the introduced weed Desr. which is common across Canada (Turkington et al. 1978). This species may be more widespread in Canada than presently documented because extensive surveys have not been conducted.

(Herbst, 1797) new to Ontario and Quebec

This native species was newly recorded in Canada in New Brunswick by Majka et al. (2007a) and feeds on the seeds of L. (Fabaceae). That the first specimen was collected over 50 years ago, that the host is widespread, and that this tribe has received little taxonomic attention, all suggest that this species may be more widespread than known.

(Goeze, 1777) new to Ontario and Quebec

This species was introduced to New York State for the biological control of purple loosestrife, L. (Lythraceae) (Anderson 2003).It is likely that the new Ontario and Quebec records represent natural dispersal from the adjacent northern USA.

Kuschel, 1952 new to Quebec

This native species was previously known from Alberta (McNamara 1991). A pest of cultivated rice (where grown); larvae feed externally on roots (Anderson 2002). It is likely that related native semiaquatic grasses are the hosts elsewhere in North America.

Discussion

McNamara (1991) provided a comprehensive list of Curculionoidea known from Canada and its provinces at that time. Noteworthy additions to our knowledge of the Canadian weevil fauna in the last 20 years include the works published by Bright (1993, 1994), Bouchard et al. (2005), Bright and Skidmore (1997), Anderson (1997), Chantal (1998), Anderson (2002), Anderson and Korotyaev (2004), Rabaglia et al. (2006), Majka and Anderson (2007), Majka et al. (2007a–c), Bright and Bouchard (2008), Humble et al. (2010), Klimaszewski et al. (2010), De Clerck-Floate and Cárcamo (2011), Webster et al. (2012), Bouchard et al. (2012), Humble and Hueppelsheuser (2012) and Looney et al. (2012). Beyond these, we list 24 species new to Canada, in ten cases also representing new records at the generic level. We have also added 59 species new to 12 provinces and territories. These records include 10 pest species and six species introduced elsewhere as biological control agents. Some are new records of adventive species expanding their range, others may be northward expansions of species common in the USA, and many fill gaps within the patchy known distributions of infrequently collected native species.

The present review of collections material for new distributional records was undertaken in anticipation of the new checklist of Canadian Coleoptera (Bousquet et. al 2013). Except for the maratimes provinces, which are now receiving increased faunistic research (e.g. Majka and Anderson (2007), Majka et al. (2007a–c), Webster et al. (2012)), our understanding of most other beetle families would also benefit from such a review. It is also probable that further undocumented curculionoid first records remain to be gleaned from material at Canadian insect collections which we were unable to include in this study.

The range extension for from Manitoba into southern Ontario is partidularly interesting. It is very uncommon for species to be endemic to Canada but this is an example where both the genus and species are, at present, known only from Canada. Possible other host plants in the genus (Saxifragiaceae) are widespread in North America and the weevil may be more widely distributed than currently known. Whether or not a Canadian endemic, it is a little-known and possibly at-risk species that is worth searching for.
