This species has been associated with mountainous habitats in Europe and adults have been collected from mosses in subalpine meadows (Morris 1997; Warner and Negley 1976). Morris (1997) asserted that the species is likely nocturnal and noted that O. desertus prefers light soils with denser vegetation than the closely related Otiorhynchus ovatus (Linnaeus, 1758), and that these species rarely occur together. Lindroth (1957) reported O. desertus from Cape Broyle, Newfoundland based on a specimen collected in 1949 (see Bright and Bouchard 2008). However, Bright and Bouchard (2008) asserted that this specimen is a worn or aberrant specimen of O. ovatus and that the presence of O. desertus in North America was therefore uncertain. Specimens of O. desertus collected in North America were compared with CMN specimens of O. ovatus and British Natural History Museum (BNHM) specimens of O. desertus. The newly reported O. desertus (Fig. 1A) differs morphologically from O. ovatus (Fig. 1B) in the following ways: O. desertus possesses (1) a single, medial carina on the pronotum (multiple ridges in O. ovatus), (2) elytral hairs occurring more densely and less evenly (evenly distributed in O. ovatus, without distinct clusters), (3) a smaller, less distinctly notched bifid tooth on the profemur (large and clearly notched in O. ovatus), (4) a small- er tooth on the hind femur (larger in O. ovatus), and (5) duller elytra (Bright and Bouchard 2008; Morris 1997). Barcode (CO1) sequences obtained from the larval specimens of O. desertus collected in Ontario match closely with barcodes obtained from European representatives of the species, with &lt;1% sequence divergence between members of the O. desertus clade (BOLD: ACJ6037) and a high degree of sequence divergence from the nearest clade (O. ovatus [BOLD: AAG5198];&gt; 13% sequence divergence). The collection of adults and larvae in non-targeted insect surveys at multiple, well-separated localities suggests that O. desertus is likely established in eastern Canada. Targeted field surveys emphasizing night collecting on vegetation in suitable habitats should help determine the extent of the geographic range of the species in the region.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EB87FEFFEDFF8DFF6DAA0DA2B2FD7A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

H. Lewis, dead specimen collected from spiderwebs along trimming of country-house in agricultural area (1 adult, CMNC).</p> <p>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.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EB87FEFFEFFF8DFEBDA9F9A7F5FD7A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

H. Lewis, dead specimens collected from spiderwebs in private garage in agricultural area (6 adults, CMNC).</p> <p>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.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EB87FEFFEFFF8DFF64AE97A1CDFA25	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
