Comments.

Anthaxia viridifrons was not listed as occurring in NB or Canada by Bousquet et al. (2013). Anthaxia viridifrons and Anthaxia viridicornis (Say) were treated as distinct species by MacRae (2006), who noted that some Canadian records of Anthaxia virdicornis might pertain to Anthaxia viridifrons . Paiero et al. (2012) followed this treatment and reported Anthaxia viridifrons from MB, ON, and QC.
