Harpalus solitaris Dejean, 1829

NEW BRUNSWICK: Albert Co.: 3 km north of Fundy National Park, 8.vi.1994, 4.vii.1994, and 4.viii.1994, J. Julian, black-spruce plantation, (4, NSMC).

This species was first reported in New Brunswick by Bertrand (2005) from a single specimen collected in the Black Brook District in the northwest of the province in June–July 2003. The above specimens precede the earlier record and establish the presence of the species in the southeast of the province. Found on moraines, meadows, vacant lots, abandoned fields, sand and gravel pits, roadsides, thickets, and open forests ( Larochelle & Larivière 2003).
