Euwallacea validus (Eichhoff, 1875) new to Canada

Note.

This adventive species has been present in North America since 1976 and has since spread within the eastern USA ( Rabaglia et al. 2006). Euwallacea validus breeds in a variety of broadleaved and conifer trees, and its pest-status remains unclear.
