Phloeotribus dentifrons (Blackman, 1921), new to Quebec
Species identification confirmed by Hume Douglas, 2016
Note.
This minute native species (1.2-1.6mm) was previously known to occur in Canada only in the southernmost part of Ontario (all 61 CNCI Canadian specimens are from Point Pelee National Park). As for the above-mentioned
Conotrachelus buchanani
, this native species is associated with
Celtis
spp. (
Wood 1982
), specifically common hackberry,
Celtis occidentalis
, in Quebec. It is probably more widely distributed than currently known in Quebec, as it was found in close association with its host plant in three different localities. It has also been reared recently (2016) from dead branches of
Celtis occidentalis
in Almonte, Ontario, ca. 30 km from the Quebec border (Hume Douglas, pers. comm. 2017).
