I'm not sure from your message if you're aware of this book, which gives
checklists for each Canadian province and territory. It used to be
available as a searchable on-line database from Ag Canada but has
apparently been taken off line because of bilingualism policy.

Bousquet, Y., ed. 1991. Checklist of Beetles of Canada and Alaska. Ottawa:
Research Branch Agriculture Canada. 430 pp.
