It is important to record in the literature at this time the occurrence of Roeseliana roeselii (Hag.) in the province of Quebec. The specimens were collected by J. R. Beaudry at Ville Saint-Laurent (12-VII-52, 2 ♂ ♂; 13-VII-52, 3 ♂ ♂) and at Montreal (16-VII-52, 1 ♂; 19-VII-52, 1 ♂). This particular species is of common occurrence in Europe. Its distribution is given by F. E. Zeuner as “Spain, France, England, central, east, and south-east Europe, southern Ural Mts., Tomsk, and Siberia.”
