The parasitic ant Leptothorax wilsoni Heinze, 1989 was recordedfrom New Hampshire, Quebec, and New Brunswick. We report oncolonies found in two sites in Jasper National Park, Alberta and inone site south of Glacier National Park, Montana. The host speciesin the west is apparently the same as in the eastern area. Brachypterousintermorphic and fully alate gynomorphic females werefound together in two colonies, confirming that L. wilsoni is aspecies with queen polymorphism. L. wilsoni workers and hostspecies queens lacked in all colonies, as in the samples from easternNorth America
