Agabus erytropterus (Say)

Note.

Agabus erytropterus is reported from eight specimens collected at five localities of Kings County (Table 2).

Habitat.

This species is usually associated with slowly flowing water but occurs in depositional areas with thick organic silt ( Larson et al. 2000), which is exactly the type of habitats where it was found in Prince Edward Island (Table 1).

Distribution in the Maritime Ecozone.

Agabus erytropterus is also known from the neighboring Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ( Larson et al. 2000).
