New records of Nitidulidae (Nitidulidae, Coleoptera) species in Canada, Ontario, and Manitoba

Abstract

Nitidulidae trapping performed from 2018 to 2021 to characterize flight behaviors of potential vectors of the oak wilt pathogen yielded three new species records for Canada, six new species records for Ontario, and three new species records for Manitoba. The new records for Canada include Carpophilus (Ecnomorphus) corticinus reported from Ontario, C. (Myothorax) nepos reported from Ontario and Manitoba, and Glischrochilus (Librodor) obtusus reported from Ontario. In addition, the following species are first recorded in Ontario: Carpophilus (Ecnomorphus) antiquus, C. (Megacarpolus) sayi, Stelidota coenosa; and also in Manitoba: Carpophilus (Megacarpolus) lugubris and Cychramus adustus. Collection data is provided for the two provinces and national records.
