A synopsis of adventive species of the Coleoptera superfamilies Scarabaeoidea,
Scirtoidea, Buprestoidea, Byrrhoidea, Elateroidea, Derodontoidea, Bostrichoidea, and
Cleroidea in Canada is presented. Of the 1611 species of those superfamilies recorded
from Canada, 106 species in 74 genera and 18 families are reported as adventive,
constituting 6.6% of the Canadian fauna of this group. Most adventive species belong
to Scarabaeidae (25 spp.), Ptinidae (19 spp.), Dermestidae (15 spp.), Elateridae (10
spp.), Buprestidae (8 spp.), and Cleridae (6 spp.). Most species originate from the
western palaearctic. Each species is reviewed and illustrated with color habitus
photos. The Canadian distribution for each species is mapped and the general
distribution in the USA is provided. General habitat information for each species is
summarized and a taxonomic diagnosis is provided. We report one new species record
for Canada, the scarab, Nipposerica peregrina, and 27 new provincial and
territorial records. We designate Eucinetus terminalis LeConte as a junior
synonym of Eucinetus haemorrhoidalis (Germar), meaning that the latter species
now has a holarctic distribution, and is removed from the list of adventive species
in Canada.
