Douglas, Hume, Bouchard, Patrice, Anderson, Robert S., Tonnancour, Pierre de, Vigneault, Robert & Webster, Reginald P., 2013, New Curculionoidea (Coleoptera) records for Canada, ZooKeys 309, pp. 13-48 : 38

Hylocurus rudis (LeConte, 1876) new to Canada

Note.

This native species breeds in weakened or dead small diameter stems of hardwood trees. Its apparent limitation to southern Ontario and Quebec is probably due to climate, given that it is also known from Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania ( Wood and Bright 1992).
