CANADA: ALBERTA: no locality noted, 30.V.1995, H.E.J. Hammond, (1m, NFRC).

Leptusa gatineauensis is newly recorded in Alberta. Many species of Canadian Leptusa occur in fungi, under bark, in scolytine burrows, and in forest litter where they apparently feed on fungal hyphae. Some species overwinter as adults in barkbeetle galleries or under bark. Specimens of L. gatineauensis have been found in both coniferous [red spruce ( Picea rubens Sarg. ] and eastern hemlock [ Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.] and deciduous forests and on a specimen of Piptoporus betulinus (Fr.) Kar. ( Klimaszewski et al. 2004).
