Comments.

Larson et al. (2000) mentioned that Copelatus glyphicus (Say) was abundant during early August in gravel pit pools and tire ruts in peaty soils in NS and NB. However, this species was not listed as occurring in NB in the checklist of the species occurring in Canada (Table 1, p. 15) and there are no dots on the distribution map for this species in the province (Map 2, p. 52) in Larson et al. (2000). The records above confirm the presence of this species in NB. All specimens from NB were captured in Lindgren funnel traps.
