Treatment

Cryptophagus histricus was reported by Woodroffe and Coombs (1961) from a bumblebees’ nest in Tallik Nagvak Fjord in northern Labrador ( Fig. 6). This is the only record of this Nearctic species in the region. It is otherwise recorded from scattered states in

western and eastern portions of the continent. Other records are from fungi, on cord wood, and in malt ( Woodroffe and Coombs 1961).
