Comments.
All specimens of
Hoplandria laevicollis
from NB were females. The identification was based on the description and key in
Genier
(1989)
. It should be noted that female characters are not as diagnostic as those of males, and thus the determination of these specimens should be considered as provisional until males are obtained from the sites where the species was found.
