Insects of Potential Economic Importance New to Canada, 1954: a Review

Abstract

A considerable number of insect species of potential economic importance new to Canada, some being new to North America, have been recorded in the Canadian Insect Pest Survey since new records were reviewed (McNay, 1955). These and others, mainly from 1954 records, are brought together in this paper. Two new mire species are included. Sources of information include Survey reports from officers of the Entomology and Plant Protection divisions, provincial entomologists, and other co-operators; The Canadian Entomologist; The Canadian Insect Pest Review; Proceedings of the Entomological Society of British Columbia; and the Bi-monthly Progress Report of the Forest Biology Division, Canada Department of Agriculture.
