McIntosh, NBM. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND : Prince Co.: 22 April 1980 , L. Corbin, DKYC. Newly recorded in New Brunswick: scattered distribution in the Maritime Provinces ( Fig. 2 ). The specimen from Prince Edward Island was reported by Pollock (1991) but was not included in Campbell’s (1991c) compilation; consequently it seems worthwhile to direct attention to the record. Found across the northern portion of North America from Alaska east to Labrador and Nova Scotia , south to Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota ( Pollock 1991 ). Species of Pytho live under the bark of trees with a narrow range of decay (dead 4–10 years). Known hosts include Pinus strobus L., P. banksiana Lamb. , P. contorta Dougl. , Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P, and Abies balsamea (L.) Mill ( Pinaceae ) ( Pollock 1991 ).
