Abstract

Locality records and coniferous hosts of seven species of Siricidae in the genera <i>Urocerus</i>, <i>Sirex</i> and <i>Xeris</i> are recorded for British Columbia. Six species were reared from western larch, five from alpine fir, and only one or two from seven other hosts. The life cycle was one or two years and major emergence was between mid-July and early August.
