New records for native species reflect increased collecting and attention to the fauna of Nova Scotia. Historically, many introduced insects first established populations in North America in the Canadian Maritimes and in fact about 40% of the species listed in the most recent checklist of weevils are introduced. The introduced species new to Nova Scotia reported here apparently established populations elsewhere and subsequently expanded their ranges into Nova Scotia.1 aMcCorquodale, D., B.1 aMusgrave, B., L.1 aAtkins, S.1 aMajka, C.1 aAnderson, R., S.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/new-records-native-and-introduced-weevils-coleoptera-curculionidae-nova-scotia-cape-breton-island
