Philonthus jurgans Tottenham, 1937

NEW BRUNSWICK: Kent Co.: Kouchibouguac National Park, 25.VIII.1977, S.J. Miller, (1, CNC).

Philonthus jurgans was inadvertently missed in the compendium of adventive species in Majka and Klimaszewski (2008). It was recorded from New Brunswick by Smetana (1995) on the basis of the record above ( Fig. 5 ). In Europe it is found from France east to Albania and Romania and north to Great Britain and Sweden ( Herman 2001; Alonso-Zarazaga 2007). Most North American records are from Pennsylvania to Newfoundland and from California north to British Columbia. Th e earliest records on the continent are from 1881 in Head Harbour, Maine and it is found in all kinds of decaying organic matter ( Smetana 1995).
