Abstract
Records of Coleoptera and their hymenopteran parasitoids are reported from a ten-year study of herbivorous insects of Nantucket, Massachusetts, USA, with a focus on searching for galls, leaf mines, and other characteristic feeding evidence on host plants. Our field observations and reared specimens are compared with Johnson's (1930) list of the insect fauna of Nantucket. We add 25 beetle species to Johnson's list, one of which (Buprestidae: Brachys howdeni Hespenheide) was described using one of our specimens as a paratype. Several new host records are reported, and we provide the first accounts of the larval habits of Erynephala maritima (LeConte) and Oulema palustris (Blatchley) (Chrysomelidae).
