Abstract

The area of distribution of Thymelicus lineola (Ochs.) now includes much of agricultural Quebec. Several localized, low density populations were observed, especially south of the St. Lawrence River. Heavy infestations were found in the regions of Lac St-Jean, Joliette, and Abitibi–Témiscamingue.
