It has long been known to collectors of Coleoptera that European species unknown to other parts of North America may be taken in the Maritime Provinces of eastern Canada. Some of these species are abundant, and virtually all who have collected in the region have had some experience with them. The region of the Lower St. Lawrence and adjacent parts of the Province of Quebec have also supplied the first North American records of a number of European species. Because these species are of some special interest, I have compiled the list given below.
