The type material of Linuparus canadensis (Whiteaves, 1885a) and Linuparus vancouverensis (Whiteaves, 1895) from British Columbia, Canada, are re-illustrated. Key features not originally mentioned are indicated. Many eastern North American occurrences previously referred to L. canadensis should be placed within L. keyesi Kornecki et al., 2017. Thus, the geographic range of L. canadensis is modified and restricted to Western and Central North America.
