Comments.

Webster et al. (2009) reported Phymatodes testaceus from New Brunswick based on a series of specimens from Pleasantfield. It was determined that these specimens were mislabeled and were from Pleasantfield, Nova Scotia. Webster et al. (2012a) accordingly removed the species from the faunal list of New Brunswick. This species is reinstated to the faunal list of New Brunswick based on the above records.
