Xantholinus linearis (Olivier, 1795)*

Note.

See Brunke and Majka (2010) for illustrations and identification. This introduced species was recently detected in Quebec based on specimens captured by the authors. However, in the future, by inspecting older or uncurated material in collections, older specimens may be found. This species has been present in the maritime provinces of Canada and eastern North America since at least 1949 ( Brunke and Majka 2010) but was first detected in North America in 1930 (British Columbia) ( Smetana 1982).
