Comments.

This adventive Palaearctic species was previously known only from NF (St. John’s) in North America and occurs in various habitats including stored produce in Europe ( Woodroffe and Coombs 1961, Johnson et al. 2007, Klimaszewski et al. 2015). Specimens from NB were captured in Lindgren funnel traps and sifted from a pile of moldy decaying corncobs and cornhusks.
