Hadromychus chandleri Bousquet & Leschen, 2002

NOVA SCOTIA: Colchester Co.: Riversdale, 7.vi.2005, J. Ogden, flight intercept trap, (2), NSNR; Halifax Co.: Antrim, 3.vi.2005, J. Gordon, flight intercept trap, NSNR; Campbell Hill, 2-15.vi.1997, D.J. Bishop, red spruce forest, flight intercept trap, holotype & paratype, (2), CNC; Pictou Co.: Lorne, 1.vi.1995, C. Corkum, flight intercept trap, NSMC; Queens Co.: Butler Rd, 14.vi.2004, P. Colp, flight intercept trap, NSNR.

This genus and species were described by Bousquet & Leschen (2002) on the basis of seven specimens originating in New Hampshire, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec. The holotype (above) is from Nova Scotia. The present account reports five additional specimens of this very rare northeastern North American endomychid ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ). Bousquet & Leschen (2002) report that one specimen had conidiospores and fungal hyphae in its gut, indicating that it is mycophagous. Apart from that, nothing further is known about its bionomics. Tomaszewska (2005) recently changed the placement of Hadromychus from the Epipocinae to the Danascelinae.
