Extract

In November, 1957, several specimens of adult beetles were collected from beaver pelts taken in the Lake George area of New Brunswick by a local trapper, Mr. Donald Millican. These were referred to me and were later identified as Leptinillus validus (Horn), an ectoparasite of the beaver, Castor canadensis Kuhl, by Mr. W. J. Brown of the Entomology Research Institute, Ottawa. This is the first record of the species having been found in New Brunswick.
