Comments.

This species was recorded from Canada for the first time by Klimaszewski et al. (2011) based on a specimen collected in Labrador, Newfoundland. The identification of this specimen was based on information provided in Seevers (1978) because the type material could not be located in the NMNH. This material was recently found and we here confirm the identity of the Newfoundland specimen as Parocyusa fuliginosa, newly record it from Ontario and designate a lectotype to promote nomenclatural stability. Parocyusa fuliginosa has been collected in much the same way as Parocyusa americana and we expect both species to occur broadly in eastern North America in habitats near running water.
