Abstract

The distribution patterns of species of Coleoptera occurring in eastern Canada are examined. The following patterns are discussed: eastern ranges, northeastern ranges, amphiatlantic ranges, boreal ranges, subarctic ranges, arctic ranges, and introductions. The historical development of each of these ranges is discussed relative to their expansion from refugial areas.
