Collection and habitat data.
Monochamus carolinensis
were captured in Lindgren traps baited with a multi-lure combination that included monochamol, ipsenol, alpha-pinene, and ethanol in a jack pine forest, an old black spruce stand with white pine, a mature balsam fir forest with white pine, an old white pine stand, an old red pine forest, and a mixed forest with red oak and white pine. Hosts include various
Pinus
species according to
Yanega (1996)
. In New Brunswick, large numbers (many specimens were not vouchered) of adults were captured in a white pine stand, mostly in the canopy. This species was also common in a jack pine stand but uncommon in a red pine forest. These data suggest that white pine may be the preferred host in New Brunswick. This species has a long flight season in New Brunswick from early July to mid-October.
Ryall et al (2014)
showed that catch of
Monochamus carolinensis
was significantly increased by baiting traps with monochamol, ipsenol, alpha-pinene and ethanol.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

Comments.
Monochamus carolinensis
was listed for New Brunswick by
McNamara (1991)
.
Webster et al. (2012a)
could not locate any specimens to support its occurrence in the province but included it in the fauna of the province.
Bousquet et al. (2013)
, however, did not list it as occurring in New Brunswick. The above records support reinstatement of the species to the faunal list of New Brunswick.
