Extract

Considerable confusion exists concerning the identification of larvae of the genus Anoplonyx in North America. Larvae of two species collected in Eastern Canada have been generally identified as one species, A. laricis (Martatt). A published larval description of the other species, A. canadensis Harrington, is not available. Keen's (1938) published descriptions of the western species (A. occidens Ross and A. laricivorus Rohwer and Middleton) apparently had the wrong association between larvae and adults. This study was undertaken to provide more detailed larval descriptions of nearctic species of Anoplonyx as listed by Ross (1951).
