Bionomic Notes. Most specimens of D. rhadina were collected from sphagnum in tamarack ( Larix laricina (Du Roi) Koch ) or black spruce bogs, usually near the margin of the open portion of the bogs, although a few adults were found in saturated sphagnum in a forested black spruce bog. At the Acadia Research Forest, D. rhadina were collected from sphagnum and leaf litter at the bottom of old tire depressions in a regenerating mixed forest. During the spring and early summer these depressions are normally partially filled with water. Forested bog habitats occurred near this site. Adults were sifted from sphagnum

hummocks or were collected by treading saturated sphagnum. Adults were collected in April, May, June, July, and September and probably overwinter as adults. Nothing was previously known about the bionomics of this species. Collection method: sifting, treading.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska. NB, ON ( Klimaszewski 1979; Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007).

Deinopsis rhadina was previously known only from the type locality in Alfred, Ontario, Canada.

Bionomic Notes. In New Brunswick, A. villosa was collected from the nest contents of a great horned owl, Bubo virginianus (Gmelin) . Little is known about the bionomics of this adventive species. Elsewhere, specimens have been collected from carrion and sifting an old hay pile ( Klimaszewski 1984). Adults were collected in May. Collection method: sifting.
