We report 19 new species records for the faunal list of Coleoptera in New Brunswick, Canada, six of which are new records for the Maritime provinces, and one of which is new Canadian record. We also provide the first recent records for five additional species in New Brunswick. One new species of Stenotrachelidae, Cephaloon ungulare LeConte, is added to the New Brunswick faunal list. Additional records are provided for Cephaloon lepturides Newman, as well the first recent record of Nematoplus collaris LeConte. Two species of Oedemeridae, Asclera puncticollis (Say) and Asclera ruficollis (Say), are newly reported for New Brunswick, and additional locality and bionomic data are provided for Calopus angustus LeConte and Ditylus caeruleus (Randall). The records of Ditylus caerulus are the first recent records for the province. Three species of Meloidae, Epicauta pestifera Werner, Lytta sayi LeConte, and Meloe augustcollis Say are reported the first time for New Brunswick; Epicauta pestifera is newly recorded in Canada. Lacconotus punctatus LeConte and the family Mycteridaeis newly recorded for New Brunswick. The first recent records of Borus unicolor Say (Boridae) are reported from the province. One new species of Pythidae, Pytho siedlitzi Blair, and the first recent records of Pytho niger Kirby are added to the faunal list of New Brunswick. Three species of Pyrochroidae are newly reported for the province, including Pedilus canaliculatus (LeConte) and Pedilus elegans (Hentz), which are new for the Maritime provinces. Five species of Anthicidae and the first recent record of Anthicus cervinus LaFerté-Sénectére are newly reported for New Brunswick. Anthicus melancholicus LaFerté-Sénectère, Sapintus pubescens (LaFerté-Sénectère), Notoxus bifasciatus (LeConte), and Stereopalpus rufipes Casey are new to the Maritime provinces faunal list. Ambyderus granularis (LeConte) is removed from the faunal list of the province. Three species of Aderidae, Vanonus huronicus Casey, Zonantes fasciatus (Melsheimer), and Zonantes pallidus Werner, are newly recorded for New Brunswick; Zonantes fasciatus and Vanonus huronicus are new for the Maritime provinces’ faunal list. Collection data, bionomic data, and distribution maps are presented for all these species.

“…Asclera ruficollis (Oedemeridae) are frequent visitors to E. americanum flowers (Arnett ). Although they facilitate limited cross‐pollination in some strongly pollen‐limited spring ephemerals (e.g., Hepatica acutiloba [= Anemone acutiloba ]; Murphy and Vasseur ), these beetles move infrequently between E. americanum flowers (E. J. Austen, personal observation ), and so likely contribute more to vector‐mediated selfing than to cross‐pollination in our study system.…”

“…Individual flowers persist up to~5 d. Flowers are visited by a range of potential pollinators, including generalist (e.g., Bombus queens) and specialist (e.g., Andrena erythronii) bees. The pollen-feeding beetle Asclera ruficollis (Oedmeridae) frequently feeds and mates on E. americanum (Arnett 1951). Erythronium americanum is weakly self compatible (Harder et al 1985) and the strength of self-compatibility varies among populations (Stokes 2012).…”

Evolutionary ecologists seek to explain the processes that maintain variation within populations. In plants, petal color variation can affect pollinator visitation, environmental tolerance, and herbivore deterrence. Variation in sexual organs may similarly affect plant performance. Within-population variation in pollen color, as occurs in the eastern North American spring ephemeral Erythronium americanum, provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the maintenance of variation in this trait. Although the red/yellow pollen-color polymorphism of E. americanum is widely recognized, it has been poorly documented. Our goals were thus (1) to determine the geographic distribution of the color morphs and (2) to test the effects of pollen color on components of pollen performance. Data provided by citizen scientists indicated that populations range from monomorphic red, to polymorphic, to monomorphic yellow, but there was no detectable geographic pattern in morph distribution, suggesting morph occurrence cannot be explained by a broad-scale ecological cline. In field experiments, we found no effect of pollen color on the probability of predation by the pollen-feeding beetle Asclera ruficollis, on the ability of pollen to tolerate UV-B radiation, or on siring success (as measured by the fruit set of hand-pollinated flowers). Pollinators, however, exhibited site-specific pollen-color preferences, suggesting they may act as agents of selection on this trait, and, depending on the constancy of their preferences, could contribute to the maintenance of variation. Collectively, our results eliminate some hypothesized ecological effects of pollen color in E. americanum, and identify effects of pollen color on pollinator attraction as a promising direction for future investigation.

“…The genus Nacerdes was erected by Dejean (1834) for Necydalis notata Fabricius, 1792 (= Cantharis melanura Linnaeus, 1758) as the type species. More recent classifications were made by Arnett (1951 , 1961 ), Švihla (1983 , 1986 , 1987 , 1991 , 1993 , 1996 , 1997 , 1998 , 1999 , 2001 , 2004 , 2005 , 2006 , 2008 , 2009 ), Vázquez (1993 , 2002 , 2006 ), Allemand (1993) and Yoo et al (2008) . However, Švihla (1987 , 1998 , 2001 , 2004 , 2008 ) made the most significant progress in Nacerdes identification and taxonomy, he described and recorded 22 Nacerdes species from China.…”

This paper deals with a species-group carniolica of the genus Nacerdes from China. This species-group has seven known species/subspecies in the world and two of them are known from China. Nacerdes (Xanthochroa) arcuata sp. n. is a new species belonging to carniolica group. The species were collected from Anhui (Eastern China, 30°02'17.37"N, 118°50'1.72"E). A key to the species of the species-group from China is given along with a distribution map.
