Colon politum is newly recorded in Labrador and in Atlantic Canada. It is a Holarctic species previously recorded from Alaska east to Saskatchewan ( Peck and Stephan 1996). This record represents a range extension of 2,700 km to the east within North America. No specific information is available on the bionomics of this species. Many species of Colon are believed to be associated with subterranean fungi ( Peck and Stephan 1996).
