Note.

See Owens and Carlton (2016) for illustrations and identification. The first five specimens were found in Berlese-Tullgren extractions of forest leaf litter collected on Mont Écho in 2012 (one on 14 June, and four on 20 July). All of these specimens come from stands dominated by Acer saccharum , Betula papyrifera , and Fagus grandifolia . It represents the first record of this genus and species in Quebec and Canada. Another specimen was found in 2016 in southern Quebec, in a pitfall trap in a maple-dominated forest. Eutyphlus schmitti is present in mountainous regions from Quebec and New Hampshire, southward to North Carolina and westward to Ohio ( Owens and Carlton 2016; present study). It was found to be particularly abundant in old-growth hardwood forests in New Hampshire ( Chandler 1987).
