Myosides seriehispidus Roelofs, 1873, new to Quebec

Species identification confirmed by RSA, 2016

Note.

This adventive species, originally from Asia, has gone undetected for many years in collections under the genus Trachyphloeus Germar, 1817, and was reported by O’Brien (2000) as established in several eastern states since at least 1973. In Canada, it was known until now only from Ontario ( Bousquet et al. 2013). Only females are known to occur in North America ( Bright and Bouchard 2008).
