Resume 

This annotated checklist contains more than 800 

insect species associated with Garry oak, Quercus 

garryanG Douglas, on sOllthern Vancouver Island, 

as recorded 1949-1984 from Forest Insect 

and Disease Survey data. They are catalogued al~ 

phabetically by genus and species under family 

and order, and all index is provided. Included are 

the approved common names, feeding habits, 

general significance and relative abundance. 

Brief descriptive notes are added to families and

Introduction 

This publication is a comprehensive checklist of 

insects and miles associated with Garry oak, 

Quercus gonyaI/o Douglas, on sOllthern Vancouver 

Island, to which area that tree is normally 

restricted in Canada. Garry oak is unique to its 

region, and has attained considerable status as a 

landscape feature. It supports a large and varied 

insect community, many of the insect species 

being dependent on it. This population complex 

remained relatively obscure until detailed studies 

of oak gall wasps by the author 1959-1972. 

More than 800 species are listed herein by 

scientific name, alphabetically by genus and species 

under family and order; an index is provided. 

Species authors are given, as are common 

names approved by the Entomological Society of 

America'. Many of the insects do 110t actually 

feecl on oak but are associated with those that do, 

are scavengers, or lililize the trees for shelter. 

General occurrence is indicated by numbers 

from a scale of 1 [04: 

I. specimens rarely found, perhaps only or 2 

annually; 

2. usually present III small numbers, 3-9 

annually; 

3. usually present in moderate numbers, 

I 0-30/collection; 

4. usually present in large numbers, but sometimes 

only in localized areas.
