Note.

Examples of each of the Carpelimus species reported below were determined by György Makranczy, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Hungary. These specimens are currently in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Other Carpelimus specimens of the species reported below were determined by R.P. Webster, based on the above determinations. The aedeagi of the adventive species were also compared to the illustrations provided by Gildenkov (2015) for additional confirmation. György Makranczy is currently working on a much-needed revision of the North American members of this genus, for which all published records (see below) must be re-examined, as the last revision was by Casey (1889). Eight of the 12 species reported below are new records for Canada. However, until a revision of the Nearctic fauna is completed, we have no idea what the true distributions might be in the rest of the continent, aside from the types and the records reported here. There are at least another 10 species of Carpelimus from NB that cannot be named at this time.
