Earota dentata is newly recorded from Nova Scotia and Ontario. Although not recorded from New Brunswick in Gouix and Klimaszewski (2007), it is worth drawing attention to the records of this species from that province reported in Klimaszewski et al. (2004). It is found in leaf litter, moss, river debris, and pocket gopher ( Geomys sp.) burrows ( Gusarov 2002).
