Comments.

The Palaearctic Symbiotes gibberosus was first reported for Canada by Bousquet et al. (2013) without any supporting data. Klimaszewski et al. (2015) provided details for this record, which was from near St. Williams, ON. Specimens were collected in a forest near vernal pools. No information was provided on the habitat of this adventive species in the Palaearctic. Most specimens from NB were captured in an old red oak forest and one from an old white pine stand.
