A review of the species of Alisalia Casey (3 spp.), Apimela Mulsant and Rey (2 spp.), Blepharhymenus Solier (1 sp.), Calodera Mannerheim (2 spp.), Cratarea C.G. Thomson (1 spp.), Devia Blackwelder (1 sp.), Dexiogyia C.G. Thomson (1 sp.), Gennadota Casey (1 sp.), Gnathusa Fenyes (2 spp.), Gyronycha Casey (1 sp.), Hylota Casey (2 spp.), Ilyobates Kraatz (1 sp.), Meotica Mulsant and Rey (3 spp.), Mniusa Mulsant and Rey (3 spp.), Neothetalia Klimaszewski (1 sp.), Ocyusa Kraatz (2 spp.), Oxypoda Mannerheim (22 spp.), Parocalea Bernhauer (1 sp.), Phloeopora Erichson (4 spp.), and Tectusa Bernhauer (2 spp.) recorded in eastern Canada is presented.
