Leiodes assimilis was recorded from New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia by Baranowski (1993) ( Fig. 4 View Fig ). It is found in open country and forests, especially relatively open deciduous forests, and is a good flyer ( Baranowski 1993). In Nova Scotia, it is found in both coniferous and mixed coastal forests. Of particular note is an isolated population on Sable Island that occurs in sand-dune environments ( Howden 1970).
