Abstract
Three Old World insects of limited distribution in North America are n ewly recorded for the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Pyrrhalta viburni ( Paykull) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Yponomeuta cagnagella (Hubner) ( Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), and Macrophya punctumalbum (L.) (Hymenopt era: Tenthredinidae) were collected at Dartmouth and Halifax, Nova Sco tia. Notes on host plants of these pests of commonly planted ornamenta l shrubs and trees are provided, as well as characters that facilitate their recognition in the Nearctic fauna.
