Extract

This note deals with European Orthotylini species Pseudoloxops coccineus (Meyer) now known to occur in Canada. It was first discovered in Ontario 20 years ago, and is now reported for the first time. Additional distributional records are given for a European Mirini, Camptozygum aequale (Villers), first reported from the Nearctic region by Wheeler and Henry (1973). The two species were probably introduced accidentally into this country with nursery stock importations of Fraxinus excelsior and Pinus sylvestris, respectively.
