            <p> Cilea silphoides (Linnaeus, 1767)</p>
            <p> NEW BRUNSWICK: Kent Co.: Kouchibouguac National Park, 25.VII.1978, I. Smith, (1, CNC) . </p>
            <p> Cilea silphoides is a European species long known in North America. It was first recorded on the continent by Gravenhorst (1802) under the name  Tachinus marginalis and was later described by Randall (1838) under the name  Tachinus geminatus from specimens collected in Brookline, Massachusetts. In Canada, Campbell (1975) recorded it from British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Québec. It was reported from New Brunswick by Campbell and Davies (1991) on the basis of the record given above (Fig. 5).  Cilea silphoides is widely distributed in Europe from France and England east to Bulgaria, the Ukraine, and eastern Russia and north to Fennoscandia (Alonso-Zarazaga 2007). It is also found throughout Africa, from Iran east throughout Southeast Asia and north to China, Korea, and Japan, and in the West Indies (Herman 2001). It is usually found in piles of rotting vegetable matter such as compost heaps, grass cuttings, rotting fruit, haystacks, piles of straw, and in dung and old mushrooms (Horion 1967). </p>

            <p> Tachyporus nitidulus (Fabricius, 1781)</p>
            <p> Tachyporus nitidulus has been considered an adventive species (i.e., Majka and Klimaszewski 2008). According to Campbell (1979),  T. nitidulus may represent a species complex of two or more species. He suggested that one species or population (lighter in colour with a shorter elytra having less distinct microsculpture, non-functional wings, and submedian bristles on the fifth and sixth abdominal tergites) may represent an indigenous North American one, whereas another (darker in colour, with a longer elytra with distinct microsculpture, fully developed wings, and lacking submedian bristles on the fifth and sixth abdominal tergites) may represent an adventive Palaearctic one. Th e ranges of these two forms broadly overlap and there are also occasional specimens with mixed features. Volker Assing (pers. comm.), however, indicates that both forms are found in Europe. Th us, although the status of  T. nitidulus requires further research, we retain it as a Palaearctic species. </p>

        <div>
            <p> Meotica exilis (Knoch, 1806)</p>
            <p> NOVA SCOTIA: Colchester Co.: Shubenacadie, 2.VI.2006, J. Ogden, flight-intercept trap, (1 female, NSNR) (1 male, LFC) ;   Halifax Co.: Point Pleasant Park, 6.V.2003, C.G. Majka, coniferous forest, under bark of dead  Pinus strobus , (1 female, CGMC) (1 male, LFC)  ;  Hants Co.: Frenchman’s Cave, 2.VII.1998, M. Moseley, gypsum sinkhole, (1 male, CGMC).</p>
            <p> These represent the first verifiable records of this species in North America (see below) (Fig. 1). The specimens collected in Point Pleasant Park were found in scolytine galleries under the bark of a dead white pine (  Pinus strobus L.,  Pinaceae ). Co-inhabiting  Coleoptera included  Nudobius cephalus (Say, 1834) (Staphylinidae) ; and  Polygraphus rufipennis (Kirby, 1837) and  Pityophthorus cariniceps LeConte, 1876 (  Curculionidae :  Scolytinae ). Th e specimen at Frenchman’s Cave was collected in a wet, mossy area in a gypsum sinkhole. </p>
            <p> Muona (1991, 239) wrote, “Small aleocharine species are often regarded as difficult to identify. However, it is doubtful (whether) there exists a species with a more confused history (than) that of  Meotica exilis .” Prior reports of its presence in North America have proven to be no exception to this rule. </p>
            <p> It appears to have first been reported in North America by Leng (1920) followed by Bernhauer and Scheerpeltz (1926). Th ese specimens were examined by Seevers (1978: 79) who wrote, “Th e record of  Meotica exilis Erichson (a European species) in Maine (E. Machias, and Wales) is probably (emphasis added) a valid one. I examined the specimens in the Bernhauer collection on which the record was based and found that they do belong to  Meotica , and are probably (emphasis added)  exilis . These specimens probably (emphasis added) represent an introduction.” Muona (1984: 228) did not accept the validity of this record noting that, “  Meotica is a </p>
            <p> difficult genus with many species and Seevers’ (1978) statement is quite vague.” Muona (1984) also pointed out that specimens identified as  Meotica exilis by Fenyes from Pasadena, California (deposited in various European collections and at the FMNH), are in fact a species of the genus  Thecturota, Casey. Despite this tenuous or erroneous evidence,  M. exilis has continued to be included in the North America fauna in such recent compendiums as Ashe (2000). </p>
            <p> The Bernhauer collection is now deposited in the Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH). Margaret Th ayer kindly checked the collection and wrote (pers. comm.) that she was able to find one pin with the label: “E. Machias,/ Me.// June//[white circle]//  exilis Grvh. /Fenyes /det. Bernhauer//Chicago NHMus/M.Bernhauer/”. The text in boldface is in Bernhauer’s writing, apparently relaying Fenyes as the source of the specimen, the identification, or perhaps both. However, there is no longer any specimen on the pin; the card point has been cut off. There is also no specimen from “ Wales, Maine” in the FMNH collection and the present disposition of this specimen is unknown. </p>
            <p>Thus, all prior reports of this species in North America appear to have been based on misidentifications, or can no longer be verified because voucher specimens can no longer be located. Th erefore, the present specimens from Nova Scotia constitute the first verifiable records of this species on the continent.</p>
            <p> The authority of the specific name of  M. exilis has also been in doubt. It has been referred to as  M. exilis (Erichson, 1839: 333) (see Leng 1920; Bernhauer and Scheerpeltz 1926; Moore and Legner 1975); and  M. exilis (Gravenhorst, 1806) (Seevers 1978; Smetana 2004a). Muona (1991), however, argued that the species should be called  M. exilis (Knoch in Gravenhorst, 1806: 153) . Although Gravenhorst cited many Knoch manuscript names without crediting Knoch (thus making Gravenhorst the author), the case of  M. exilis is an exception to the rule because Gravenhorst explicitly credited Knoch with the description. </p>
            <p> Meotica exilis is found throughout Europe and northern Asia. It occurs in many kinds of moist situations, preferring rich soils and frequenting shores with dense vegetation and is abundant in leaf-litter under  Salix bushes and has been collected in  Sphagnum bogs (Muona 1991). A dorsal habitus photograph is provided in Fig. 3. For illustrations of the genitalia see Klimaszewski et al. (2007). </p>

            <p> NOVA SCOTIA: Hants Co.: St. Croix, 28.VII. 2007, M. Moseley, in wet moss in a gypsum sinkhole, (1 female, NSMC) . </p>
            <p> This species is newly recorded for Nova Scotia and the Maritime Provinces (Fig. 1). In North America it has previously been recorded from British Columbia, New Jersey, Ontario, and Rhode Island (Gouix and Klimaszewski 2007; Klimaszewski et al. 2007). The earliest North American specimen was collected at the end of the 19th century by Casey in Rhode Island and was described by him as  Sipaliella filaria Casey, 1911, which was subsequently synonymized with  M. pallens by Gusarov (2002). </p>
            <p> The concept of  Meotica pallens (Redtenbacher) in Europe is problematic. Canadian specimens are conspecific with the central European specimens cited as  M. pallens (Redtenbacher) sensu Benick and Lohse (1974) (Klimaszewski et al. 2007). According to Muona (1991),  M. pallens (Redtenbacher) is synonymous with  M. lohsei Benick, M. hanseni Scheerpeltz,  M. strandi Scheerpeltz , and  M. strandi sensu Muona (1979) , but is a different species from that listed from central Europe by Benick and Lohse (1974) under the same name. Following Klimaszewski et al. (2007) we employ the tentative name M. “  pallens ” (Redtenbacher) sensu Benick and Lohse (1974) for this specimen pending revisionary studies in Europe. </p>
            <p> Klimaszewski et al. (2007) reported a specimen in Ontario collected in a muskrat nest near a  Sphagnum bog. Th e Nova Scotia specimen was collected in wet moss in a gypsum sinkhole. Muona (1991: 231) says that, “Th is species seems to live more or less subterraneously. It has been taken from burrows of small mammals and can be found by sieving rich soils around trees early in the spring as well as in flood refuse”.  Meotica pallens (Redtenbacher) sensu Muona, 1991 is wing-dimorphic, with both brachypterous and macropterous forms. The Nova Scotia specimen is macropterous. A dorsal habitus photograph is provided in Fig. 4. For illustrations of the genitalia see Klimaszewski et al. (2007). </p>

            <p> Atheta dadopora is newly recorded on Prince Edward Island (Fig. 5). It has previously been recorded from Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia (Gusarov 2003, Klimaszewski et al. 2005; Majka and Klimaszewski 2008). It is widely distributed across the Palaearctic region eastward to China and Japan (Smetana 2004a) and is found in decaying fungi, under cow dung, and fallen leaves (Burakowski et al. 1981). Although Gusarov (2003) listed it as an adventive Palaearctic species newly recorded in North America, its zoogeographic status is still unclear. It is possible that it could be Holarctic in distribution. It is provisionally included in this account as a Palaearctic species. The earliest records are from Casey (1910) from specimens collected in New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island (Gusarov 2003). </p>

            <p> Anotylus insecatus is newly recorded for Nova Scotia and in the Maritime Provinces (Fig. 5). Th is species was first recorded in North America by Campbell and Tomlin (1983) from specimens collected in Ontario in 1980. It was subsequently reported from Québec by Campbell and Davies (1991). Anthony Davies (pers. comm.) indicates that the CNC also has specimens from Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and California and that the earliest records (from Alberta) date from 1954. </p>
            <p> Horion (1963) and Campbell and Tomlin (1983) both drew attention to  A. insecatus as a predator of dipteran larvae in the bulbs of onions and tulips. It has also been found at sap flows and in decaying plant debris (Campbell and Tomlin 1983). Hammond (1976), however, noted that the species is primarily subterranean and believed that, like many species of  Anotylus , it may be largely saprophagous and a scavenger. He indicated that as an inhabitant of dung and decaying organic matter, its association with dipteran larvae may be incidental. Observations by C.G. Majka in Halifax indicate that they are predators of dipteran larvae. Th e roots of radish plants (  Raphanus sativus L.,  Brassicaceae ) infested with the larvae of radish root maggot [  Delia nr. floralis (Fallén) (  Diptera :  Anthomyiidae )] were examined and adult  A. insecatus were found preying on larvae in tunnels bored in the roots by the larvae. Adults were also frequently found in subterranean circumstances within soil along with  Gabrius picipennis (Mäklin) (Staphylinidae) . </p>

            <p>  BRITISH COLUMBIA: 8 miles west of  Creston , VI.1968, J.M. Campbell and A. Smetana, (1, CNC).  ALBERTA: Strathcona Co.: Edmonton, University Farm, 1984, C.D. Griffi ths, canola plot, (1, UASM). NEWFOUNDLAND: Corner Brook, Loggers School Road, VII.1992, CFNL; St. John’s, 1986, (1, MUN).

Levesque, abandoned pasture and mixed woodland, pitfall trap, (5, CLC)  . </p>
            <p> Campbell and Davies (1991) indicated the presence of  Lathrobium fulvipenne in British Columbia, Alberta, and Newfoundland, however, no specimen records were provided. We, therefore, take the opportunity to document its presence (from as early as 1968) from five Canadian provinces. Records from New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Québec are shown in Fig. 1. It is widely distributed throughout the Palaearctic region (Alonso-Zarazaga 2007). It has also been recorded once in Greenland, although it is not clear if this represents an accidental introduction or if the species is native there (Böcher 1988). </p>
            <p> In Iceland and the Faroe Islands it is found in dry grasslands; however, in the rest of Europe it is found in moister environments, i.e., under fallen leaves in coppices or small woods, in leaf litter in alder groves, and in meadows (Böcher 1988). In continental Europe, it is eurytopic and also common in synantropic habitats (V. Assing, pers. comm). Eyre et al. (2001) found  L. fulvipenne to be abundant in riverine environments in northern England and Scotland similar to the site where the species was found in New Brunswick. </p>

            <p> Oxytelus sculptus Gravenhorst, 1806</p>
            <p>  NOVA SCOTIA: Kings Co.:  Kentville , 27.VII.2007, D.H. Webster, at light, (1, DHWC)  ;   Kentville , 12.VIII.2007, D.H. Webster, at light, (1, DHWC)  . </p>
            <p> This species is newly recorded for Nova Scotia and the Maritime Provinces (Fig. 1). In North America it previously has been reported from British Columbia, California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington on the west coast, and Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, New York, Ontario, and Québec in the eastern portions of the continent (Moore and Legner 1975; Campbell and Davies 1991; Downie and Arnett 1996). Probably originally African in origin, this species is now cosmopolitan being widely distributed in Europe, Africa, North America, temperate south America, Australia, and New Zealand (Herman 2000). Melsheimer (1846: 42) described it under the name of  Oxytelus moerens from the United States; however, the earliest record of this species in North America is from latrine excavations in Boston, Massachusetts from ca. 1670 (Bain 1998). </p>
            <p>It is usually found in open areas such as gardens, pastures, and fields under stones, and in manure and compost (Burakowski et al. 1979). It is abundant in the manure of domestic animals such as cattle, horses, and poultry. It is probable that this cosmopolitan species has been dispersed by human agency in association with the transport of domestic animals (Moore and Legner 1974).</p>

            <p> Majka and Klimaszewski (2008) removed this species from the New Brunswick faunal list, based on a misidentified specimen reported in Majka and Ogden (2006). However, the above records of R.P. Webster establish the presence of  L. intermedius in the province (Fig. 5). Consequently,  L. intermedius is reinstated to the faunal list of New Brunswick. Th e earliest North American specimens are from 1903 in Québec (Smetana 1982). Widely distributed in Europe and found in North Africa and Turkey (Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b), it has been recorded in a wide variety of decompositional environments including dung, compost, and decaying vegetable matter (Smetana 1982). </p>

            <p> This species was detected in the Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia) in 1997 (Majka and Smetana 2007). Th e new record above, however, establishes that  Q. curtipennis has been present in the region from at least 1984. Th e earliest records in North America are from 1934 in Seattle (Smetana 1971). In the Palaearctic region it is found throughout Europe east through Turkey to Uzbekistan, as well as in Morocco and on the Azores (Herman 2001, Smetana 2004).  Quedius curtipennis is often found near settlements in various debris and under stones. Some specimens also have been collected in natural environments in moss and under leaf litter (Smetana 1971). </p>

            <p> Creophilus maxillosus (Linnaeus, 1758) has been treated as an adventive species (Majka and Klimaszewski 2008). Newton et al. (2000), however, pointed out that most North American specimens, often treated as the subspecies  C. maxillosus villosus (Gravenhorst, 1802) , are distinguishable from the Palaearctic C. m.  maxillosus .  Creophilus m. villosus has a broad pre-human North American distribution, and hence can be considered a native, Nearctic subspecies. Consequently we remove  C. maxillosus from the list of adventive species of the region. </p>

            <p> NEW BRUNSWICK: Kent Co.: Kouchibouguac National Park, 25.VIII.1977, S.J. Miller, (1, CNC).</p>
            <p> Philonthus jurgans was inadvertently missed in the compendium of adventive species in Majka and Klimaszewski (2008). It was recorded from New Brunswick by Smetana (1995) on the basis of the record above (Fig. 5). In Europe it is found from France east to Albania and Romania and north to Great Britain and Sweden (Herman 2001; Alonso-Zarazaga 2007). Most North American records are from Pennsylvania to Newfoundland and from California north to British Columbia. Th e earliest records on the continent are from 1881 in Head Harbour, Maine and it is found in all kinds of decaying organic matter (Smetana 1995). </p>

            <p> Philonthus rectangulus Sharp, 1874</p>
            <p> NOVA SCOTIA: Kings Co.: Grand Pré, 19.VII.1952, F.L. Trenholm, (1, NSAC).</p>
            <p> Majka and Klimaszewski (2008) recorded  P. rectangulus from Nova Scotia from specimens collected in 2004. Th e above record establishes the presence of this species in the province in 1952, 52 years earlier than previously reported, and 25 years earlier than the previous earliest record from the Maritime Provinces in 1977 from New Brunswick (Majka and Klimaszewski 2008). It appears to originally have been native to Japan before spreading to China in 1901, arriving in Europe in 1916. The earliest records from North America are from 1908 in Oregon (Smetana 1995). It now is widely distributed across the Palaearctic region, including China and Japan in the east. It is also known from many other parts of the world and is considered a cosmopolitan species (Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b). It is found in all kinds of decaying organic matter, particularly in synanthropic situations, and is particularly common in animal dung, compost, and rotting plant debris (Smetana 1995). </p>
