NEW BRUNSWICK: York Co.: Charters Settlement, 45.8395 N, 66.7391 W, 26.IX.2005, 2.V.2004, 16.X.2004 (2 specimens), 21.IV.2004, 16.IX.2005, 27.VIII.2005, R.P. Webster, in well-decayed compost, (7, RWC).

Majka and Klimaszewski (2008) removed this species from the New Brunswick faunal list, based on a misidentified specimen reported in Majka and Ogden (2006). However, the above records of R.P. Webster establish the presence of L. intermedius in the province ( Fig. 5 View Fig ). Consequently, L. intermedius is reinstated to the faunal list of New Brunswick. Th e earliest North American specimens are from 1903 in Québec ( Smetana 1982). Widely distributed in Europe and found in North Africa and Turkey ( Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b), it has been recorded in a wide variety of decompositional environments including dung, compost, and decaying vegetable matter ( Smetana 1982).
