Stenolophus carbo Bousquet, 1993 View in CoL

In the context of reviewing the carabid fauna of the region, it is worth drawing attention to this species, which is known in Atlantic Canada solely from a record (as S. carbonarius (Dejean)) reported by Lindroth (1954, 1968) on the basis of a specimen observed by him in a cattail ( Typha ) swamp in Waverly (on the outskirts of Halifax), Nova Scotia, in May 1951, which subsequently escaped. Thus, there is no voucher specimen to substantiate the record and there are otherwise no Canadian records of this species east of Ontario. There has been some subsequent collecting of Carabidae in Waverley (D.C. Ferguson and B. Wright, NSMC), and extensive collecting of Carabidae in Halifax and environs, and no further specimens have been found. Bearing this in mind, and pending further fieldwork, S. carbo should be regarded as doubtful in Nova Scotia, and consequently the region as a whole.
