Extract

Although the European pine shoot moth is well known as a pest of pines where winters are moderate, particularly in southern Ontario (1, 2, 3, 6), its occurrence in the Province of Quebec has been sporadic and confined chiefly to the more southern regions. There have been occasional reports of this insect in Montreal since 1931 and in Grand' Mère since 1934, but it was not until 1954 that it was discovered in Quebec City. Since that time, however, it has been recorded from several other localities. In 1958, it was found in a nursery at Sayabec, in the Matapedia Valley.
