Leiodes punctostriata was recorded from Labrador, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland by Baranowski (1993) ( Fig. 4 ). Although it was reported for Nova Scotia by Peck (1991), it was not recorded from the province by Baranowski (1993). The above records establish its presence in Nova Scotia. It is probably a forest species found in deciduous forests ( Baranowski 1993).
