Host plants
Large series of Pachybrachis peccans were reportedly taken on Populus balsami-fera L. and Salix spp. (Salicaceae). Other plant associations recorded on labels were Populus tremuloides Michx.; lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) (Ericaceae); Rubus spp. (Rosaceae); and Comptonia peregrina (L.) (Myricaceae). Larvae were reared on dead leaves of sand-bar willow (Salix interior Rowlee) by LeSage (1985)[3]. Larochelle specimens from Québec had a wide range of potential plant associations. Several additional potential hosts are listed by Clark et al. (2004)[4] from their literature review.
Comments
Pachybrachis peccans was the most commonly examined species (over 900 specimens; Table 1). It has also the largest distribution, being found from Nova Scotia to Yukon (Map 12). Pachybrachis peccans is reported here for the first time from PE.
