Abstract

Trichocorixa verticalis (Fieber) is reported for the first time from the mainland of British Columbia and the subspecific assignment is discussed. Based on specimens in the Spencer Entomological Museum, one provincial record and one territorial record are added to the recent checklist of Canadian Hemiptera.
