摘要
A common Palearctic flea beetle, Sphaeroderma testaceum (E) is reported for the first time from North America. Adults were collected from Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) in Canada (Bible Hill, Nova Scotia) on 3 August 2001. This apparently accidentally introduced species, a specialist on pest thistles and a promising biological control agent, is redescribed and habitus photographs that facilitate its identification are provided. Its Old World distribution, host plants, and natural history are summarized.
