Majka and Klimaszewski (2008) reported this species in New Brunswick on the basis of a specimen collected in Hartland by R.P. Webster. This identification was in error and was based on a specimen of Stictolinus flavipes Donisthorpe. However , the above specimens collected by R.P. Webster establish the presence of N. villosulus in New Brunswick ( Fig. 5 View Fig ). Th e earliest North American records are from 1860 in Québec ( Bain 1999). It is widely distributed in Europe east to Russia, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus ( Herman 2001; Smetana 2004b). It is found mainly in moist habitats including the margins of rivers, marshes, and lakes ( Newton et al. 2000).
