Lixus punctinasus LeConte, 1876, first records for Canada with detailed locality information
Species identification confirmed by RSA, 2015
Note.
Bousquet et al. (2013)
listed this species without providing any details on its distribution in Canada, based on a similar inclusion in
O'Brien
and Wibmer (1982)
. We provide specific locality data for Canada for the first time. Like other
Lixus
Fabricius, 1801 spp., this species is probably associated with
Polygonum
spp. (
Polygonaceae
). Numerous CMNC specimens from Texas were collected on
Polygonum
.
