Material examined.

New Brunswick, Saint John Co., Dipper Harbour, 45.1169°N, 66.3771°W, 12.IX.2006, R. P. Webster, salt marsh, on flowers of seaside goldenrod (9 (many others observed), RWC); Chance Harbour off Cranberry Head Road, 45.1355°N, 66.3436°W, 30.V.2006, R. P. Webster, barrier beach, sweeping foliage of Leucanthemum vulgare Lam. (1, RWC); black beach, 45.1539°N, 66.2282°W, 11.VII.2008, R. P. Webster, sea beach, sweeping foliage (1, RWC).

Collection and habitat data.

Adults were taken by sweeping foliage of ox-eye daisy ( Leucanthemem vulgare Lam.) on a barrier beach, sweeping foliage on a sea beach, and sweeping flowers of seaside goldenrod ( Solidago sempervirens L.) in a salt marsh. Adults were taken during late May, July, and September.

Distribution in Canada and Alaska.

NB, NS ( Majka and McCorquodale 2006). Majka and McCorquodale (2006) considered the Nova Scotia population as significantly disjunct from the remainder of its range (from southern Maine ( Dearborn and Donahue 1993) to Central America ( Gordon 1985)), and considered Nova Scotia at the northern limit of its environmental tolerances. This species is likely more widely distributed along the coast than originally thought and the distributional gaps may be the result of insufficient sampling in intervening areas.
