Title: New distribution and host record of Bareogonalos canadensis (Harrington) (Hymenoptera: Trigonalidae and Vespidae). Pan-Pacific Entomologist
Abstract: A single female Bareogonalos canadensis (identified by G. I. S.) was obtained from a Vespula nest collected at Cazadero, Sonoma County, California, by Mr. James DeWeese on June 24, 1961. The nest, containing V espula (Dolichov espula) arenaria (Fabricius) in all stages of development, was given to one of us (C. N. S.) who placed it in a closed terrarium to trap all that might emerge. On July 12, 1961, the trigonalid was found. The specimen has been deposited at the California Academy of Sciences.

Published records of B. canadensis are: 1 female, Victoria, B. C., September, 1893 (Harrington, 1896); 1 male, 1 female, British Columbia, October 21 and 25, 1897 (Townes); 23 males , 4 females, Gabriola Island, B. C., October 21 to 27, 1898 (Taylor, 1898) ; 1 male, British Columbia Biological Station, Departure Bay, B. C., October 24, 1908 (Townes). Thus the California record represents a considerable increase in the known range of this infrequently collected species.
