In November, 1957, several specimens of adult beetles were collected from beaver pelts taken in the Lake George area of New Brunswick by a local trapper, Mr. Donald Millican. These were referred to me and were later identified as Leptinillus validus (Horn), an ectoparasite of the beaver, Castor canadensis Kuhl, by Mr. W. J. Brown of the Entomology Research Institute, Ottawa. This is the first record of the species having been found in New Brunswick.

First Record

On October 16, 1956, during a routine monthly check of the Nurses Residence, Selkirk Mental Hospital, Selkirk, Manitoba, a professional exterminator noticed “thousands” of very small insects in a basement office. A number were submitted to the writer for identification and found to be aphids, which were later very kindly identified by W. R. Richards, Insect Systematics and Biological Control Unit, Ottawa, as Sipha agropyrella (H.R.L.). Richards stated (in litt.): “This is the first record of this species west of Ontario.” MacGillivray (1956) records the finding of this species in 1950 in New Brunswick as a new record for North America.

First collected in North America in 1937 on the Avalon Peninsula of the Island of Newfoundland, the introduced, primarily European land snail, Discus rotundatus, has now been recorded from the Island of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. We review all known records from Canada, demonstrate that D. rotundatus is more widespread than was previously recognized on the Island of Newfoundland, and report the first record from New Brunswick.

In June, 1962, a type of bug injury was found by the junior author to be prevalent in a well cared for apple orchard of 800 trees at Debec, Carleton County, N.B. Adults of the bug causing the injury were collected in early July and determined by Dr. L. A. Kelton, Entomology Research Institute, Ottawa, as Lygidea mendax Reut., commonly known as the apple redbug. This is the first record of this species in New Brunswick.

We report for the first time the terrestrial slug Prophysaon andersonii (J.G. Cooper, 1872) from Quebec, Canada. Two specimens were collected in Parc national du Bic. The identification was determined by the external morphology and partial-COI gene sequence data. The genus Prophysaon is endemic to western North America, and the new record indisputably represents an introduction. No species of Prophysaon has, until now, been noticed in North America from outside its native range.

The Last Glacial

We report the first Canadian record of the Holarctic least shrew (Sorex minutissimus Zimmermann, 1780) and associated helminth worms, collected along the Dempster Highway in central Yukon in 2014. We identify the specimen based on morphological characters, characterize the habitat, report other mammals and helminth species associated with this specimen, and use mitochondrial DNA sequences to place the specimen within a phylogenetic context and address Pleistocene refugial hypotheses. Although long considered an Eurasian endemic, the diminutive least shrew was first reported from Alaska in 1994. Our new record for Canada indicates that the species may occur at least as far east as the MacKenzie River and DNA variation suggests this species persisted only in the Beringian refugium in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum. The discovery of a new mammal and associated parasites for Canada points to the urgent need for more detailed information on high-latitude biotas in North America, data that are best obtained through museum-based field surveys, particularly for small, cryptic species.

Sulphide Deposits

The Tetagouche Group is a 10 000 m geosynclinal sequence of slates, greywackes, rhyolite tuffs, and greenstones underlying parts of northern New Brunswick. It hosts the well-known stratabound massive sulphide deposits of the Bathurst–Newcastle mining area. Few fossils have been found in the group and its age is poorly known. More than 890 conodonts have been recovered from a locality near Camel Back Mountain in the Metabasalt unit. Coelocerodontus? lacrimosus and Protopanderodus liripipus are described as new species. The faunule contains species indicative of the Prioniodis alobatus Subzone of the Amorphognathus tvaerensis Zone and is the first record of the subzone in North America. The subzone equates with the middle Caradocian (approximately the Soudleyan Stage) or late Wildernessian Stage of the Middle Ordovician Epoch. During this interval the Proto-Atlantic Ocean is considered to have been undergoing closure, hence recent interpretations that regard the Metabasalt unit as forming during an earlier phase of opening must be reexamined.

Pyrrhalta Viburni

Pyrrhalta viburni (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a chrysomelid native to Eurasia. It gained importance as an invasive species in North America due to its ability to cause serious damage to native and ornamental Viburnum spp. plants. In our study Pyrrhalta viburni was recorded as a new record in the fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has been recorded on four locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the region of Sarajevo. As it is feeding on Viburnum spp. that are commonly used as ornamental plants, its monitoring in urban and other habitats is suggested.

Callinectes sapidus is reported here for the first time to state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. In Brazil, this species was only known from state of Rio Grande do Sul to the state of Pernambuco, leaving a significant gap in its expected distribution along the coasts of other states in northern and northeastern Brazil, since it has been collected from Venezuela to North America. Two adult female specimens were collected using local fishing gear in the estuary of the Mamanguape River. This new record increases the known distribution of this species.
