Dendroctonus simplex LeConte, 1868 new to Yukon and Nunavut: not known from Northwest Territories

Note.

The native eastern larch beetle is reported from all ten provinces, and Northwest Territories ( Bright 1976). With the separation of Nunavut from Northwest Territories, the single Northwest Territories record should become a Nunavut record.
