Cylindrocopturus longulus (LeConte, 1876), new to Quebec

Species identification confirmed by Hiraku Yoshitake, 2014, and RSA, 2016.

Note.

This native species is reported to inhabit in the larval stage the galls formed by the apionine weevil Podapion gallicola Riley, 1883, on pine ( Blatchley and Leng 1916). In western North America, it is also a reported host of the Macromesus americanus Hedqvist, 1960 ( Hymenoptera : Pteromalidae ), which has been reared from various pines and several other conifers ( Askew and Shaw 2001). Cylindrocopturus longulus was previously known in Canada only from Ontario, but the gall making species Podapion gallicola is known from Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick ( Bousquet et al. 2013).
