New Curculionoidea records from New Brunswick, Canada with an addition to the fauna of Nova Scotia.

This paper presents 27 new records of Curculionoidea for the province of New Brunswick, Canada, including three species new to Canada, and 12 adventive species, as follows: Eusphryrus walshii LeConte, Choragus harrisii LeConte (newly recorded for Canada), Choragus zimmermanni LeConte (newly recorded for Canada) (Anthribidae); Cimberis pallipennis (Blatchley) (Nemonychidae); Nanophyes marmoratus marmoratus (Goeze) (Brentidae); Procas lecontei Bedel (Brachyceridae); Anthonomus pusillus LeConte (newly recorded for Canada), Anthonomus (Cnemocyllus) pictus Blatchley, Archarius salicivorus (Paykull), Dorytomus hirtus LeConte, Ellescus bipunctatus (Linnaeus), Mecinus janthinus (Germar), Myrmex chevrolatii (Horn), Madarellus undulatus (Say), Microplontus campestris (Gyllenhal), Pelenomus waltoni (Boheman), Rhinoncus bruchoides (Herbst), Rhinoncus perpendicularis (Reich), Cossonus impressifrons Boheman, Cossonus pacificus Van Dyke, Rhyncolus knowltoni (Thatcher), Eubulus bisignatus (Say), Polydrusus cervinus (Linnaeus), Magdalis piceae Buchanan, Procryphalus mucronatus (LeConte), Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff), and Xyleborinus attenuatus (Blandford). Recent name changes in the genus Rhinoncus are applied to species known from New Brunswick. In addition, Orchestes alni (Linnaeus) is newly recorded from Nova Scotia.

Introduction

The of New Brunswick were first reviewed by Majka et al. (2007), adding 77 species to the faunal list of the province. Later, Webster et al. (2012) newly recorded three species of , four , three , three , and 50 species of . Shortly after this, another four species of , one and 11 species of were added to the faunal list of New Brunswick by Douglas et al. (2013). Cognato et al. (2015) reported the occurrence of Mandelshtam in New Brunswick. It is unclear whether this is an introduction from Russia or a Holarctic species (Cognato et al. 2015). Since 2013, 27 additional species of from the families , , , , and have been documented for New Brunswick, including three species new to Canada. Twelve of these are adventive species. One species is also newly reported from Nova Scotia. The purpose of this paper is to report on these new records.

Methods and conventions

Collection methods. Specimens were collected by sweeping vegetation in various habitats and from Lindgren 12-funnel trap samples during a study to develop improved tools for the detection of invasive species of . These traps are visually similar to tree trunks and are often effective for sampling species of that live in microhabitats associated with standing trees (Lindgren 1983). In many sites, equal numbers of traps were deployed in the canopy and 1 m high under trees. See Webster et al. (2012) and Hughes et al. (2014) for details of the methods used to deploy Lindgren traps and for sample collection.

A description of the habitat was recorded for all specimens collected during this survey. Locality and habitat data are presented as on labels for each record. Two labels were used on many specimens, one that included the locality, collection date, and collector, and one with macro- and microhabitat data and collection method. Information from the two labels is separated by a // in the data presented from each specimen.

Distribution. Every species is cited with current distribution in Canada and Alaska, using abbreviations for the state, provinces, and territories. New records for New Brunswick are indicated in bold under Distribution in Canada and Alaska. The following abbreviations are used in the text:

Results

We newly report on 28 species of , including three new Canadian records, in the families (3), (1), (1), (1), and (22), including one species of new to Nova Scotia. Twenty-four of the 28 species reported in this study were captured in Lindgren 12-funnel traps; 18 were collected only in these traps. Four species were collected by sweeping foliage, and one was found under bark.

Species accounts

Species with a † are adventive to Canada. The determination that a species was a new record is based on information in the print version of Bousquet et al. (2013). The classification used below follows Bouchard et al. (2011).

This adventive Palaearctic species is widespread in NB. A few adults were found on foliage, but most NB specimens were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in various forest types.

Gyllenhal, 1834†

Gyllenhal was newly reported from NB by Majka et al. (2007), based on records from Charters Settlement and Moncton (in the University of Moncton Insect Collection). The specimens from Charters Settlement were misidentified and are (Linnaeus); however, the specimen from Moncton was correctly determined and is , and the species remains on the provincial list.

Most (42 of 54) specimens of (Eichhoff) were captured in Lindgren funnel traps in the canopy of trees (many other individuals were not vouchered). Specimens were captured in the canopy of eastern white pine (26), balsam fir (1), and red pine (9). The other individuals were captured in stands with white pine and jack pine present. White pine was the only pine present at the Bathurst and Currie Mountain sites, indicating that white pine may be a host for in NB.

The adventive (Blandford) was first reported from North America by Mudge et al. (2001) from the northwestern USA, followed by reports from BC, the northeastern USA, PE, NS, and QC (Douglas et al. 2013). This species is now widespread and locally abundant in NB (numerous individuals captured in Lindgren funnel traps at Odell Park during 2014 and 2015; only a few were vouchered). All specimens from NB were captured in Lindgren funnel traps, about half in the canopy of trees.
