Abstract

Pissodes fiskei, a species described by Hopkins from New Hampshire, is shown to occur also in Maine and in all Canadian provinces between New Brunswick and the interior of British Columbia, inclusive, as well as the Yukon. It is readily distinguished from its closest ally, P. lotundatus Lee, both morphologically and cytologically. Maritime P. nigrae Hopk., montane P. alascensis Hopk., and inland P. rotundatus are conspecific.
