Coelocephalapion emaciipes (Fall, 1898), new to Quebec

Species identification confirmed by RSA, 2016

Note.

The occurrence of this small native pale-legged species in the province was expected as it was previously known in Canada from Ontario and the Maritime Provinces. Although this species has been tentatively associated with tick-trefoil, Desmodium Desv. sp. ( Fabaceae ), based on the very few available data at the time ( Bright 1993), it is worth noting that most of the specimens caught in 2016 were found in association with Scirpus L. spp. ( Cyperaceae ) in wet habitats.
