The following list of specimens is supplementary to two previously published articles (1944, Canad. Ent. 76:163 and 1945, Canad. Ent. 77:214) on Essex County material. Appended to the list are miscellaneous records of 17 species captured in Ontario locations other than Essex County. These have been added to this paper since they are thought to be of noteworthy interest. The species in each part follow as closely as possible C.W. Leng's Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America north of Mexico.

The Third

This list follows closely on the third of three previously published articles in the Canadian Entomologist. Mr. C. A. Frost of Framingham, Massachusetts, has checked and supplied me with identifications of all but two of the specimens. His generous interest in determining some of the beetles for which names have been difficult to obtain made this paper possible.

Aster lanceolatus Willd. is represented by five polyploid levels in southern Ontario: tetraploid (2n = 32), pentaploid (2n = 40), hexaploid(2n = 48), heptaploid (2n = 56), andoctoploid(2n = 64). Tetraploids were absent from the Niagara Peninsula in the southeast and Essex County, Kent County, Lambton County, and Elgin County in the southwest, whereas the hexaploids were ubiquitous. Correlations were found between chromosome number and habitat (community type), water content of the soil, physiographic region, and grouped physiographic region. These correlations notwithstanding, the distribution of the two predominant cytotypes in southern Ontario may also be related to historical factors.

Point Pelee

The occurrence of vascular epiphytes in the deciduous and deciduous–evergreen forests of southern Ontario, particularly in the southern deciduous forests of Point Pelee, Essex County, is presented. The general and specific ecology of vascular epiphytes is examined and compared in detail with that of such plants in other temperate areas of the world, particularly the United States and northern Europe. Twelve different species of plants have been found growing in 21 different epiphytic situations in the Pelee forests. Throughout the southern forests of Ontario a total of 25 plants has been recorded in a total of 34 arboreal habitats. In all, just 13 species of trees served as hosts for these vascular epiphytes and these are predominantly deciduous. Red oak and hackberry account for 50% of the epiphytic sites provided. General patterns associated with vascular epiphytism in temperate forest localities in North America and Europe are discussed.

AbstractThe small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), is a non-native pest of honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus (Hymenoptera: Apidae)) newly introduced to Canada. The effectiveness of three in-hive traps was tested in springtime in West-Montérégie (southern Québec, Canada) and in late summer in Essex County (southern Ontario, Canada): AJ’s Beetle Eater™ (AJ’s Beetle Eater), Beetle Barn™ (Rossmann Apiaries), and Hood™ trap (Brushy Mountain Bee Farm). Traps were placed in the brood chamber of 12 colonies in West-Montérégie, and in 48 colonies in the top honey super in Essex County. In-hive traps were effective in reducing SHB populations without compromising the bee population or colony weight gain. In West-Montérégie, the Beetle Barn™ was the most effective trap during the first week, when SHB populations were high. It was less effective when honey bees sealed trap openings with propolis. In Essex County, the AJ’s Beetle Eater™ was the most effective throughout the trial. There was no difference in efficacy between the various solutions used in the Hood™ trap (mineral oil versus mineral oil and apple cider vinegar).

Specimen Material

Ascalaphidae occur in Canada. Here, we document the presence of Ululodes quadrimaculata (Say) in southern Ontario, which was suspected by Kevan (1979).SPECIMEN MATERIAL.
