Abstract

Messa populifoliella (Townsend), long known in the United States but new in Canada, is univoltine and overwinters as a prepupa in the soil beneath the host tree. In New Brunswick the larvae mine the leaves of Populus eugenei Simon-Louis creating blotch mines. The various stages of the sawfly are described and pictured and six parasite species are named.
