Naturalists in the Maritime Provinces may be interested in the  
following book:

Christopher G. Majka, Donald S. Chandler, and Charlene P. Donahue.  
2011. Checklist of the Beetles of Maine, USA. Empty Mirrors Press,  
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. 328 pp.

The 328 page checklist of the Coleoptera of Maine provides the first  
comprehensive listing of the 2,871 beetles (2,466 native Nearctic  
species, 121 native Holarctic species, and 284 introduced species)  
recorded in the state of Maine, USA. Four hundred and seventeen are  
newly recorded in Maine while 58 are herein excluded from the state  
faunal list. For each species a chronological listing includes studies  
that have recorded it in Maine, and its distribution in the states and  
provinces of northeastern North America. Full collection data of all  
specimens for each newly recorded species are included. Recent  
synonymies and points of particular relevance are indicated in endnotes.

For each of the 96 families of Coleoptera, an introductory section  
discusses bionomics, taxonomic status, previous compilations of  
information, and the principal reference works that apply to the North  
American fauna. A photograph of a selected representative is also  
included. An introductory chapter recounts the history of Coleoptera  
research in Maine, while a second chapter presents a preliminary  
overview and analysis of the Maine beetle fauna. References to 1,171  
publications that pertain to the Maine beetle fauna are provided, as  
is a table of contents. The index includes 1,940 supra-specific names  
of included taxa.

For those interested in entomology in Maine and neighbouring states  
and provinces, this book will be an indispensable reference. Beetles  
are the most species-rich order in the world, occupying innumerable  
ecological niches in virtually every terrestrial and freshwater  
aquatic ecosystem. Beyond their intrinsic value, and the importance of  
conserving wildlife and protecting biodiversity for ecological  
reasons, beetles are potentially valuable in monitoring for climate  
change, pollution, anthropogenic disturbance, and ecological  
integrity. Many are important (either as pests or species of value) in  
relation to agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and pollination.  
Monitoring the health of the native fauna, and tracking the dispersal  
of adventive species (~10% of the Maine fauna), remain important  
objectives. This book will be helpful in all these respects.

The book is of very considerable relevance to the beetle fauna of the  
Maritime Provinces and includes information that records 1,732 species  
of beetles from Nova Scotia and 1,602 species from New Brunswick.
