Abstract

We report 63 species of Curculionoidea that are new to New Brunswick (three species of Anthribidae, four species of Brentidae, three species of Dryophthoridae, three species of Brachyceridae, 50 species of Curculionidae). Among these are 27 species (two Anthribidae, two Brenthidae, one Brachyceridae, 22 Curculionidae) that are also newly recorded for the Maritime provinces, and one species, Plesiobaris disjuncta Casey (Curculionidae) that is newly recorded for Canada from New Brunswick and Quebec. Bagous planatus LeConte is reinstated to the faunal list of New Brunswick. Two species of Curculionidae are newly recorded from Nova Scotia and the Maritime provinces, and two others are reported for the first time for Prince Edward Island.

Introduction

The Curculioniodea, or weevils, occurring in New Brunswick include the families Nemonychidae (the pine flower snout beetles), Anthribidae (the fungus weevils), Attelabidae (the leaf-rolling weevils), Brentidae (the straight-snouted weevils and pear-shaped weevils), and the Dryophthoridae, Brachyceridae, and Curculionidae, previously, all considered members of the Curculionidae (weevils or snout beetles and bark beetles) by Anderson (2002). The classification used here follows the synthesis of Bouchard et al. (2011), based on changes proposed by Thompson (1992), Kuschel (1995), Lawrence and Newton (1995), and Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999). The weevils of New Brunswick were reviewed by Majka et al. (2007b). They reported 77 new species records for the province, increasing the weevil fauna to 206 species. Three of these species, Trichapion nigrum (Herbst), Ceutorhynchus semirufus LeConte, and Listronotus laramienis (Angell), were recorded for the first time from Canada. Bagous planatus LeConte, Plocamus hispidulus LeConte, and Dryocoetes granicollis (LeConte) were removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick due to a lack of supporting voucher specimens or other published records (Majka et al. 2007b). More recently the brentid, Arrenodes minutus (Drury) was reported from New Brunswick by Majka et al. (2008). Other Curculionoidea from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were reported by Bright and Bouchard (2008), Majka (2010b), and Klimaszewski et al. (2010). Here, we report 63 species of Curculionoidea that are new to New Brunswick, two species new from Nova Scotia and two species new for Prince Edward Island.

Methods and conventions

The following records are based in part on specimens collected as part of a general survey by the first author to document the Coleoptera fauna of New Brunswick. A description of the habitat was recorded for all specimens collected during this survey and was included on specimen labels. This information is included with each record and summarized in the collection and habitat data section for each species.

Collection methods

Various collection methods were employed to collect the specimens reported in this study. Details are outlined in Webster et al. (2009, Appendix). Some specimens were collected from Lindgren funnel trap samples during a study to develop a general attractant to detect invasive species of Cerambycidae. These traps visually mimic tree trunks and are often effective for sampling species of Coleoptera that live in microhabitats associated with standing trees (Lindgren 1983). See Webster et al. (in press) for details of the methods used to deploy Lindgren 12-funnel traps and for sample collection. New records were also obtained from the insect collection belonging to Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service - Atlantic Canada Forestry Centre, Fredericton.

Distribution

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

AK Alaska MB Manitoba
YT Yukon Territory ON Ontario
NT Northwest Territories QC Quebec
NU Nunavut NB New Brunswick
BC British Columbia PE Prince Edward Island
AB Alberta NS Nova Scotia
SK Saskatchewan NF & LB Newfoundland and Labrador*

* Newfoundland and Labrador are each treated separately under the current Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

Results

We report 63 species of Curculionoidea new to New Brunswick (three species of Anthribidae, four species of Brentidae, three species of Dryophthoridae, three species of Brachyceridae, 50 species of Curculionidae). Among these are 27 species (two Anthribidae, two Brenthidae, one Brachyceridae, 22 Curculionidae) that are also newly recorded for the Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island), and one species newly recorded for Canada (Table 1). Two species of Curculionidae are newly recorded for Nova Scotia and two for Prince Edward Island.

Adults were captured during June and July in Lindgren funnel trap in an old silver maple swamp. Ulmus americana was present near the trap. The adult from Prince Edward Island was collected from young foliage of Ulmus americana during June.

Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of Xyleborinus saxesenii.

Collection and habitat data.

Bright (1976) noted that this adventive species attacks large, dying, deciduous trees and also Pinus and Tsuga spp. In New Brunswick, all adults were captured during May and June in Lindgren funnel traps in hardwood forests, an old red oak forest, a red spruce forest, and an old red pine forest.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
