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

“…The adventive Xyleborinus attenuatus (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).…”

“…This adventive European species, associated with Ulmus , was first reported from western North America by Anderson et al (2007) and has since become widespread (Looney et al 2012, Douglas et al 2013). The above record is the first report of this species from the Maritime Provinces.…”

“…This is the first eastern record of this species. Previously, it was known from MB with additional records added from AB and SK by Douglas et al (2013). Rhyncolus knowltoni (Thatcher) is associated with Populus tremuloides (Douglas et al (2013) and is undoubtedly more widespread than the records indicate.…”

“…Later, Webster et al (2012) newly recorded three species of Anthribidae, four Brentidae, three Dryophthoridae, three Brachyceridae, and 50 species of Curculionidae. Shortly after this, another four species of Anthribidae, one Brentidae and 11 species of Curculionidae were added to the faunal list of New Brunswick by Douglas et al (2013). Cognato et al (2015) reported the occurrence of Dryocoetes kriviolutzkajae Mandelshtam in New Brunswick.…”

Efficacy of semiochemical-baited traps for detection of Scolytinae species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the Russian Far East

“…Traps baited with host volatiles such as ethanol and α-pinene, as well as pheromones of Ips spp., have been used for surveillance of exotic bark and wood-boring beetles in the United States and Canada for more than a decade Douglas et al, 2013) and have been reasonably successful at detecting exotic Scolytinae (8 among 18 exotic Scolytinae detected in survey traps between 1985 and 2005) but unsuccessful for species in the Cerambycidae or Buprestidae (0 of 7 species combined, for both families) (Haack 2006). Thus, there is room for improvement in trapping programs for surveillance and early detection of exotic bark and wood-boring beetles.…”
