Agabus punctulatus Aube

Note.

Agabus punctulatus is reported from nine specimens collected at one locality in Prince County (Table 2).

Habitat.

The most typical habitat of this species is flooded grass along the margin of vernal ponds in open grassland areas ( Larson et al. 2000), which is similar to the habitat where Agabus punctulatus was found in Prince Edward Island (Table 1).

Distribution in the Maritime Ecozone.

This species is known also from the neighboring Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ( Larson et al. 2000).
