Placusa canadensis Klimaszewski, 2001 View in CoL

NOVA SCOTIA: Kings County: North Alton, 2.VI.2005, D.H. Webster, under bark of wind-fallen Populus grandidentat a Michx. (4, DHWC).

Placusa canadensis View in CoL is newly recorded in the Maritime Provinces. In Canada it has been previously recorded in Ontario and Québec; in the United States it is known from Ohio and West Virginia ( Klimaszewski et al. 2001). In Québec this species has been found predominantly in sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh. View in CoL ) stands, occasionally in white spruce ( Picea glauca (Moench) Voss View in CoL ) forests. Th ey have been collected from under the bark of recently fallen trees and from rotting fungi and tree stumps ( Klimaszewski et al. 2001). Th e specimens in Nova Scotia were found in association with specimens of Carpophilus sayi Parsons [ Nitidulidae View in CoL ] (abundant), and Corticeus tenuis (LeConte) [ Tenebrionidae View in CoL ] (infrequent) in the same subcortical habitat.
