CHECKLIST OF THE BEETLESOF CANADA AND ALASKA |
|
Because of its popularity, the data contained in the Checklist was transformed into a database containing the distribution of all valid species in Canada and Alaska. This database, developed by staff of Agriculture Canada, appeared on the internet for several years before being removed recently. We are making this data available online once again (click here for an Excel file containing distribution of all valid species in Canada and Alaska as published in the 1991 Checklist).
There is now an incentive to update the data presented in the original checklist and a review of the classification, nomenclature and distribution data as well as additions to the fauna since 1991 is underway by the staff of the CNC Coleoptera Unit. We would of course like to have accurate distribution data for all species for the updated Checklist. Please consider sending representative specimens of new or interesting distributional records to P. Bouchard (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, K.W. Neatby Building, 960 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON, K1A 0C6, CANADA) for deposition in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes and inclusion in the Second Version of the Checklist. If you are interested in reviewing our data before the publication of the Second Version of the Checklist (either specific families or the entire dataset) please send a notification of interest to bouchardpb@agr.gc.ca.
Each file below contains data by family as published in the 1991 Checklist. Data in the different families was generated by a number of authors, which were acknowledged in the printed Checklist.
