Cis creberrimus
Mellie
, 1849
Available data.
New Brunswick, Westmorland Co., Moncton, 13.VII.1987, P. Maltais (UMC)
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
ON, QC, NB, NS (
Bousquet et al. 2013
).
Cis creberrimus
Mellie
was first reported from NB by
Bousquet et al. (2013)
but without supporting data. Chris Majka supplied the data for the specimen, which is in the collection of the University of Moncton. However, the curator of the collection was unable to locate the specimen. The inclusion of this species in the fauna of NB should be considered provisional until the specimen can be located.
Taxonomic note.
Cis creberrimus
is somewhat similar to
Cis angustus
and may be confounded with this species. In view of this, the NB specimen identified as
Cis creberrimus
, could be
Cis angustus
.
