Several specimens of Neoporus sulcipennis were collected at two localities of Prince County (Table 2).

Neoporus sulcipennis is known also from the neighboring Province of New Brunswick ( Larson et al. 2000). The presence of this species in Prince Edward Island represents the easternmost record in Canada.
