Thirty-six species are recorded for the first time in the Maritime Provinces; of these, Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus (Marsham), Listronotus dietzi O'Brien, Corthylus columbianus Hopkins, and Orchidophilus aterrimus (Waterhouse) are recorded for the first time in Canada. Orchidophilus aterrimus has been collected only in exotic domesticated orchids and is not established in the wild. Fourteen species previously recorded on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, are reported from the provincial mainland. Four species - Curculio sulcatulus (Casey), Ceutorhynchus squamatus LeConte, Tachyerges niger (Horn), and Ips calligraphus (Germar) - are removed from the faunal list of Nova Scotia, and three species - Temnocerus cyanellus (LeConte), Curculio nasicus (Say), and Cryphalus ruficollis ruficollis Hopkins - are removed from the faunal list of Prince Edward Island. The combined known weevil fauna of the Maritime Provinces now totals 290 species. The adequacy of collection effort is discussed and in Nova Scotia, where collection effort has been greatest, distribution patterns of selected groups of species are examined. Island faunas are discussed with respect to those of Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island. Regional biogeographic patterns of species are also discussed, including possible disjunct populations in Nova Scotia and species that may not have crossed the isthmus of Chignecto to colonize Nova Scotia. Attention is drawn to the long history of introduced species in the region and to ongoing introductions through an examination of the earliest records for the 60 introduced species found in the region10aCeutorhynchus pallidactylus10aCeutorhynchus squamatus10aCorthylus columbianus10aCryphalus ruficollis ruficollis10aCurculio nasicus10aCurculio sulcatulus10aIps calligraphus10aListronotus dietzi10aOrchidophilus aterrimus10aTachyerges niger10aTemnocerus cyanellus1 aMajka, Christopher, G.1 aAnderson, Robert, S.1 aMcCorquodale, David, B.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/weevils-coleoptera-curculionoidea-maritime-provinces-canada-ii-new-records-nova-scotia-and-prince--002964nas a2200301   4500008004100000020001400041245016600055210006900221260001300290300001200303490000800315520183900323653003202162653002802194653002602222653003602248653002102284653002402305653002102329653002302350653002802373653002102401653002502422100002702447700002502474700002802499856013502527       2007                        eng d  a0008-347X00aThe weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, II: new records from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and regional zoogeography0 aweevils Coleoptera Curculionoidea of the Maritime Provinces of C  cMay-June  a397-4420 v1393 aSeventy-nine species of weevils are newly reported in Nova Scotia and 66 species are newly reported on Prince Edward Island, increasing the known provincial weevil faunas to 244 and 92 species, respectively.
