03EB87FEFFEFFF8DFEBDA9F9A7F5FD7A.taxon	description	This is a wetland specialist which develops in species of Scirpus L. and Carex L. (Cyperaceae) (Koch 1992). This species occurs naturally throughout the Palearctic region, with a range extending from western Europe to the Far East (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017). The first adventive records of N. scirpi from the Nearctic region are given in Pentinsaari et al. (2019), which includes 38 specimens taken from several localities in Quebec, Canada. As noted in Pentinsaari et al. (2019), N. scirpi possesses prominent dense, pale yellow to orange scales on the abdomen and thorax laterally, a character which distinguishes them from other, similar species. The collection of the present specimen in Four Falls, New Brunswick, a locality which lies less than 4.5 kilometers away from the Canada-USA border, indicates that this species may also be present in Maine, USA. Further field surveying is required to uncover the complete geographic range of N. scirpi in New Brunswick and surrounding regions.	en	Lewis, Jake H., Anderson, Robert S.

03EB87FEFFEFFF8DFF64AE97A1CDFA25.taxon	description	This species is native to the western Palearctic region (Warner and Negley 1976), and is adventive in Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, and the Nearctic region (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017; Del Río et al. 2010; Kuschel 1990). In Canada, O. rugosostriatus is known from British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia (Bousquet et al. 2013), and also occurs widely throughout the United States of America (O’Brien and Wibmer 1982). Otiorhynchus rugosostriatus is easily distinguished from congeners in the region by characters listed in Bright and Bouchard (2008). This species is known to be parthenogenetic across much of its range (Dieckmann 1980) and feeds on a wide variety of plants, including Cyclamen L. and Primula L. (Primulaceae), Fragaria L. and Rosa L. (Rosaceae), Ilex L. (Aquifoliaceae), Ligustrum L. (Oleaceae), and Solanum L. (Solanaceae); however, it is most well-known as a pest on strawberries (Warner and Negley 1976). Given the widespread presence of O. rugosostriatus in Nova Scotia and southern Quebec (Bright and Bouchard 2008), it is unsurprising that this species is also established in New Brunswick.	en	Lewis, Jake H., Anderson, Robert S.
