Remarks.

The specimen of Platydema excavatum reported in Majka et al. (2008) was misidentified by C.G. Majka and was a specimen of Platydema teleops Triplehorn (collected by R. P. Webster on 5 June 2003, Charters Settlement, N.B., not 3 June 2003 as reported in Majka et al. 2008) (see below). In view of this, Platydema excavatum is removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick.
