Harmonia quadripunctata Pontoppidan

NEW BRUNSWICK: Westmorland County: Moncton, 1965–71, C.G. Majka, CGMC.

This Palearctic species was established in the United States as early as 1924 and is now found in New York and New Jersey (Vandenberg 1990). The specimen collected in New Brunswick (specific date not recorded) apparently represents an accidental conveyance of this species by road, rail, or air to Moncton, a major transportation hub. There is no evidence that the species has become established; consequently it is not included as part of the region’s fauna.
