Extract

Coenosia tigrina (F.) was first observed in Canada in 1943 at Ottawa by Mr. A. R. Brooks of the Entomology Division (Mr. G. E. Shewell, Entomology Division, Ottawa, personal communication). By 1917 the insect had been collected as far west as Guelph, Ontario. It was first recorded from the province of Quebec in 1951 by Perron and Lafrance (1952), who observed it preying on adults of Hylemya antiqua (Mg.) in rearing cages at St. Jean. Later observations and surveys by these workers indicated the predator to be very abundant in southwestern Quebec. More recently Mr. F. M. Cannon (personal communication), Field Crop Insect Section, Science Service Laboratory, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and Mr. L. A. Miller (personal communication), Entomology Laboratory, Chatham, Ont., reported C. tigrina to be present as far east as Charlottetown and as far west as Chatham.
