Zyras obliquus Casey, 1893 View in CoL

NOVA SCOTIA: Lunenburg County: Bridgewater, 1–16.VII.1965, B. Wright, un- der red oak, pitfall trap (1, NSMC).

Zyras obliquus View in CoL is newly recorded in Nova Scotia. In Canada it has been previously recorded from British Columbia east to New Brunswick ( Klimaszewski et al. 2005b; Webster et al. 2009). In British Columbia this species was found in various coniferous and mixed forests ( Klimaszewski et al. 2005b). Note: this species was reported from Nova Scotia by Kehler et al. (1996) [as Zyras haworthi (Stephens) View in CoL ] without, however, supplying collection data. In a subsequent examination of this collection by Majka and Bondrup-Nielsen (2006), no voucher specimens of this species were found, rendering the authenticity of the original record moot.
