Aquatic Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Associated with Northern Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum sibiricum) in Alberta, Canada

Abstract
Eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of two aquatic weevils (Euhrychiopsis sp. 3 and Phytobius leuogaster) were found associated with northern watermilfoil (Myriopyllum sibiricum) in the province of Alberta, Canada. While both weevils had been collected previously in Alberta, this is the first report to document northern watermilfoil as a native host.
