Sanfilippodytes pseudovilis (Young)

Note.

One specimen of Sanfillipodytes pseudovilis was collected in Prince County (Table 2).

Habitat.

The species is very common in cold stenothermal springs where it can be taken either in the limnocrene pools or among the mosses along the spring margin ( Larson et al. 2000). In Prince Edward Island, the only specimen collected was found in a narrow and shallow creek flowing on a sandy bed (Table 1).

Distribution in the Maritime Ecozone.

This species is also known from the neighboring Province of New Brunswick ( Webster 2008) and the Magdalen Islands ( Alarie 2009).
