Laccornis latens (Fall)

Note.

Laccornis latens is reported from two specimens collected in Kings County (Table 2).

Habitat.

The most common habitat for this species is semi-permanent, cool, shaded pools with deep leaf debris but few vascular plants; moss is often abundant ( Larson et al. 2000). In Prince Edward Island, the two specimens sampled were collected within shoreline moss in a fen densely covered with Scirpus (Table 1).

Distribution in the Maritime Ecozone.

This species is known also from the neighboring Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ( Larson et al. 2000).
