Dalotia coriaria is a cosmopolitan species that is adventive in many parts of the world including Europe, east Africa, Madagascar, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands (Benick and Lohse 1974; Pace 1999; Sivasubramaniam et al. 1997; Klimaszewski and Peck 1998), and North America ( Klimaszewski et al. 2007). In Canada it has previously been recorded from Ontario and Alberta ( Klimaszewski et al. 2007, Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007), and in the United States from California, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York ( Moore and Legner 1975; Muona 1984; Frank 1980; Gusarov 2003). This species is here newly recorded from British Columbia. Th e isolated and disjunctive distribution of D. coriaria in Canada represents probably three independent introduction events.
