Material examined.
New Brunswick, Queens Co., Grand Lake Meadows P.N.A., 45.8227°N, 66.1209°W, 31. V– 15.VI.2010, 15-29.VI.2010, R. Webster & C. MacKay, old silver maple forest with green ash and seasonally flooded marsh, Lindgren funnel traps (5, AFC, RWC). Sunbury Co., Burton near Sunpoke Lake, 45.7658°N, 66.5546°W, 20.VI.2007, R. P. Webster, red oak and red maple forest, on foliage of Quercus rubra (1, RWC).
Collection and habitat data.
Adults were collected during June from Lindgren funnel traps in an old silver maple forest (swamp) and from foliage of red oak in a red oak and red maple stand. Both forest sites were near seasonally flooded marshes.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
MB, ON, QC, NB ( Bousquet 1991). Bousquet (1991) reported Agriotes pubescens Melsheimer from New Brunswick. Majka and Johnson (2008) were unable to locate voucher specimens to support the record and, thus, they removed it from the faunal list of New Brunswick. The records above establish the presence of this species in the province.
